摘要

摘要:本文通过分析性爱机器人——真实的和想象的——作为具象的对象和重要的物质，来解决标题问题。虽然经常被大众媒体视为反常，但实际上，真正的性爱机器人在复制异性恋规范的性审美方面非常传统，这种审美否认了性化对象的活力。性机器人艺术和虚构叙事(包括电影和文学)，包括乔丹·沃尔夫森的装置作品《女性形象》(2014)、亚历克斯·加兰的《机械姬》(2014)和珍妮特·温特森的《石神》(2007)，都使用并质疑了这种模仿设计。在这些文本中，性爱机器人通过莎拉·艾哈迈德(Sarah Ahmed)所说的“酷儿使用”(queer use)来维护自己的活力和能动性，同时重新定义了从一开始就阻碍它们活力的人文主义等级制度。

What Do Sex Robots Want? Representation, Materiality, and Queer Use

ABSTRACT:This essay addresses its title question by analyzing sex robots, real and imagined, as both representational objects and vital matter. Though frequently treated as perverse by popular media, actual sex robots are in fact remarkably conventional in their reproduction of a heteronormative sexual aesthetic that disavows the vibrancy of the sexualized object. Sex robot art and fictional narratives (both film and literature), including Jordan Wolfson’s installation Female Figure (2014), Alex Garland’s Ex Machina (2014), and Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods (2007), employ and interrogate this kind of mimetic design. In these texts, sex robots assert their vibrancy and agency via what Sarah Ahmed terms “queer use,” while at the same time reinscribing the humanist hierarchies that precluded their vitality in the first place.
