摘要

随着DIY科学家和量化自拍者的普及,“生物黑客”的语言在抗衰老话语中越来越普遍。消费者和患者被邀请“破解”衰老过程,将衰老降低为众多程序之一,或者更确切地说,是可以重写、删除和过时的“bug”。根据最近流行媒体和抗衰老宣传材料中的例子,我探讨了生物黑客的语言是如何向身体发出信号的,它否认了一个并非最佳的身体的可接受性。在无休止地追求最新和最伟大的过程中,生物黑客的语言使旧身体变得过时,只不过是过时操作系统的遗迹。

Upgraded to Obsolescence: Age Intervention in the Era of Biohacking
Popularized by DIY scientists and quantified-selfers, the language of “biohacking” has become increasingly prevalent in anti-aging discourse. Presented with speculative futures of superhuman health and longevity, consumers and patients are invited to “hack” the aging process, reducing age to one of the many programs, or rather “bugs” that can be re-written, removed, and rendered obsolete. Drawing on recent examples from popular media and anti-aging promotional materials, I explore how the language of biohacking signals an orientation to the body that denies the acceptability of a body that is anything but optimal. In the endless strive towards the latest and greatest, the language of biohacking renders the old body obsolete, standing as nothing more than a relic of an outdated operating system.
