当代英国小说家大卫·米切尔的《云图》由六个看似独立而又联系紧密的故事组成,勾画了一幅关于人类文明的过去、现在和未来的图谱。其中,第五个故事“星美-451的记录仪”借助星美-451之口刻画了深受人类奴役的克隆人群体以及已然没落的人类文明。信息和技术的发展使传统的人类身体逐渐去身化,而作为后人类设想之一的克隆人却通过自身的努力完成了具身化的过程,最后实现了人类与后人类的相互转化。作者也通过呈现人类与克隆人在后人类主义的语境下相互观照的状态,批判了超前的科技和人类中心主义,促使人类对自身的行为进行反思。
The “cloud map” of contemporary British novelist David Mitchell, composed of six seemingly independent and closely related stories, delineates a map of the past, the present and the future of human civilization. Among them, the fifth story “SMIC -451 recorder ” with the United States and the United States -451 portrayed by the human enslavement of the cloned population and the decline of human civilization. The development of information and technology gradually deconstructed the traditional human body. Clone human being as one of the post-human imaginations completed the process of personalization through its own efforts, finally realizing the mutual transformation between mankind and later human beings. The author also criticizes advanced science and anthropocentrism by presenting the state of mankind and human cloning in the background of post-humanism, and makes mankind reflect on his own behavior.
