Abstract
This paper is a postphenomenological investigation of cyber bodies and their politics. A case study is made through cyborg microcelebrity Lil Miquela and her role in the attention economy. The relevance of embodiment, re-embodiment and disembodiment is critically considered through Kirk M. Besmer (2015), Donna J. Haraway (1991) and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s (1974) theoretical exploration.
本文是对网络主体及其政治的后现象学研究。通过电子人微名人Lil Miquela和她在注意力经济中的作用进行了一个案例研究。通过Kirk M. Besmer(2015)、Donna J. Haraway(1991)和Maurice Merleau-Ponty(1974)的理论探索,批判性地思考了具体化、再具体化和脱离具体化的相关性。
