Abstract

In the paper we apply a theoretical concept of technologies of the self developed by Michel Foucault to the field of lifelogging practices. Lifelogging is a global social phenomenon, a part of contemporary experience of everyday, especially in the developed societies of the West. Our hypothesis is that, despite different ways of quantifying self, lifelogging practices have some characteristics in common: they all belong to the field of biopolitics. This is demonstrated on the levels of the body, identity and subjectivity, since they are influenced and changed by lifelogging. At the same time, lifelogging practices blur the relationship between coercion and consent, power and resistance. The theoretical framework for addressing lifelogging is the concept of biopolitics, also developed by, since it refers to the mechanisms, techniques and technologies, as well as the forms of rationality that regulate life and its various manifestations. In conclusion, we claim that it is still not possible to explain lifelogging exclusively in the terms of biopower, since it has a potential for the ?counter-conduct? and resistance. This also makes lifelogging practices open for development of new forms of subjectivity.
生活记录:自我的数字技术作为当代生命政治的实践
本文将福柯提出的自我技术的理论概念应用于生活记录实践领域。生活日志是一种全球性的社会现象,是当代日常经验的一部分,尤其是在西方发达社会。我们的假设是,尽管量化自我的方式不同,但生活记录实践有一些共同的特征:它们都属于生命政治领域。这表现在身体、身份和主体性的层面上,因为它们受到生活记录的影响和改变。与此同时,记录生活的做法模糊了强迫与同意、权力与反抗之间的关系。处理生命记录的理论框架是生物政治的概念,也是由,因为它指的是机制,技术和技术,以及调节生命及其各种表现形式的理性形式。总之,我们认为,仍然不可能完全从生物动力的角度来解释生命记录,因为它有可能产生“反行为”。和阻力。这也使得生活记录实践为发展新的主体性形式敞开了大门。
