摘要
后人文主义对身体的理解不是将 "疾病 "和 "健康 "视为个体身体的属性,而是身体之间关系的新特征。因此,健康的关系观为改善人类身体及其社会和物理环境开辟了道路。本文借鉴后人道主义和脆弱性伦理学,论证了布莱恩-蒂尔的《空形上天堂》(The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven,2015 年)如何为疾病、死亡和脆弱性提供了一种不同的思考(和实践)方式。蒂尔接受并提倡身体的动态物质性和长期脆弱性,在我们共同的身体条件基础上推进了一种后人类伦理学。
Better Medicine: Shared Suffering and Chronic Vulnerability in Brian Teare's The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven.
A posthumanist understanding of the body does not view "illness" and "health" as properties of the individual body, but as emergent features of the relationships between bodies. As such, a relational view of health opens up avenues for the betterment of both human bodies and their social and physical environments. Drawing on posthumanism and the ethics of vulnerability, this article demonstrates how Brian Teare's The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven (2015) provides a different way of thinking (and doing) illness, death, and vulnerability. With his acceptance and promotion of the body's dynamic materiality and chronic vulnerability, Teare advances a posthuman ethics based on our shared embodied condition.
