摘要

生物黑客是一种自己动手优化身体和心灵功能的方法,包含了各种各样的实践,可以理解为对自我的可塑性和个性的更大承诺的一种特别的当代表达。生物黑客将科学知识和技术创新混合到定制的个人解决方案中,这些解决方案根据他们所处的社会政治环境而显著不同。通过科学和技术研究方法,关注这些与人体相关的技术情境配置,对潜在动机的概念分析,与更广泛的黑客精神和当代生物黑客方法的意义创造背景相一致,推荐了一种工作模型,该模型将生物黑客分解为四股以供进一步研究:DIYbio,精神增强,健康和健康优化以及技术未来主义。

What are 'biohackers' hacking? Identifying motivations and meaning-making frameworks.

Biohacking, a do-it-yourself approach to optimising functionality of body and mind, encompasses a diverse range of practices, and might be understood as a particularly contemporary expression of a larger commitment to the malleability and individuality of the self. Biohackers remix scientific knowledge and technological innovations into bespoke individual solutions that differ markedly according to the sociopolitical context in which they are located. Through a science and technology studies approach that attends to these contextual configurations of technology in relation to human bodies, a conceptual analysis of the underlying motivations, alignment with broader hacker ethos and meaning-making contexts of contemporary biohacking approaches recommends a working model that breaks biohacking down into four strands for further research: DIYbio, spiritual augmentation, health and wellness optimisation and technological futurism.
