Deleuze, Technology, and Thought

德勒茲、科技與思考

Abstracts


Although Gilles Deleuze never explicitly develops what might be considered a philosophy of technology, this article nonetheless attempts to outline the rudiments of a Deleuzian approach to technology by proposing a series of interrelated concepts: (1) prosthesis (technological artifacts are externalized organs); (2) proto-technicity, or originary technicity (but this technicity already exists in Nature, all the way down, and precedes any theory); (3) exodarwinism (the fact that evolutionary time has bifurcated, and technology evolves in a faster and accelerating time scale); (4) de-specialization or de-differentiation (what conditions the externalization of organs is their deterritorialization); (5) motricity (the link between the brain and the hand/mouth is primarily one of movement); (6) inscription, or graphism (the link between mouth and hand takes place through phonetic writing, when the hand reproduces speech in graphic inscriptions); (7) maker's knowledge (we know the organizations of matter found in nature through the organizations of matter that we ourselves have created); and finally, (8) totipotence (like a stem cell, the body is capable of being externalized in an almost unlimited number of forms and functions; it is itself an abstraction and the source of abstractions).

Parallel abstracts


就算吉爾.德勒茲並未直接發展所謂的「科技的哲學」,本篇論文仍提出一系列相關聯的概念,列出幾個德勒茲式的基本科技原則。(一)義肢(科技加工物為外部化的器官),(二)原科技性或原初科技性(但此種科技性早已存在於大自然之中,一直傳遞下來,且先於任何理論),(三)外部達爾文主義(事實上,演化的時間早已分化,而科技的演化更快,且不斷加速中),(四)去專門化或去差異化(決定器官外部化的是它們本身的解畛域),(五)動能性(大腦和手/口的連結基本上是動作的一種),(六)印記或圖像主義(當手透過圖像複製口說,口和手的連結就是透過語音書寫建立的),(七)創造者的知識(我們透過自己創造出的物質組織、來了解在自然中發現的物質組織),(八)全能性(就像幹細胞,身體能幾乎無限制地被外部化為種種形式與功用;身體本身是抽象化的,也是抽象化的來源)。
