摘要

本文研究了人工智能发展的新人种学，涉及对不朽的技术科学形式的想象。作为《分析学》的一篇思考文章，我将超人类主义人种学领域的概念与基督教人类学理论中发展起来的概念进行了比较，主要是杜蒙的“世界中的个人”概念，这篇文章进行了一些实验性的比较。我认为，通过这样的比较，我们可以从一个新的角度来理解最近发展起来的关于(技术上)不朽的人类的想法。这篇文章指出了技术科学上的不朽如何与核心文化主题相呼应，但它也考虑了对社会的看法的主要差异。当死亡变得多余时，社会性如何再生产的问题就成为了焦点。

The Human Version 2.0

This article investigates new ethnography on AI development relating to imaginaries of technoscientific forms of immortality. As a Think Piece in Analytics, it engages in a somewhat experimental comparative endeavor as I set concepts from the ethnographic field of transhumanism in a comparative relation to concepts developed in the anthropological theory of Christianity, mainly Dumont’s concept of the ‘individual-in-the-world’. I argue that through such a comparison we can understand recently developed ideas about the (technologically) immortal human being in a new light. The article points to how technoscientific immortality echoes core cultural themes, but it also considers a major difference in the perception of the social. When death is made redundant, the question of how sociality is reproduced moves center stage.

期刊介绍： Social Analysis is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the analytical potentials of anthropological research. It encourages contributions grounded in original empirical research that critically probe established paradigms of social and cultural analysis. The journal expresses the best that anthropology has to offer by exploring in original ways the relationship between ethnographic materials and theoretical insight. By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, it also opens new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, including regular Special Issues on particular themes. The Editors welcome individual articles that focus on diverse topics and regions, reflect varied theoretical approaches and methods, and aim to appeal widely within anthropology and beyond. Proposals for Special Issues are selected by the Editorial Board through an annual competitive call.
