The New Death: Mortality and Death Care in the Twenty-First Century
無論有沒有天災人禍死亡都距離我們如斯近。地球各物種中也唯人類面對死亡如此奇突,而其中也許沒有比面對屍體更離奇的東西了,也沒有什麼話題像人類死亡率那樣產生如此多的跨文化焦慮。 然而,關於死亡的信念和實踐從未停滯不前。 這本”The New Death: Mortality and Death Care in the Twenty-First Century“書匯集了對當今迅速變化的死亡實踐和態度感興趣的學者。 處理遺體和紀念死者的新方法正在全球各大城市激增。 與這些緊急死亡實踐交織在一起的信念、價值觀和本體論是什麼? 我們是否正在見證生者與死者之間關係的轉變? 本書由 Shannon Lee Dawdy 和 Tamara Kneese 編輯,這是一本大約十四篇論文的合集,探討了死亡、葬禮實踐、暫時性等不斷變化的觀念,閾限和我們與死者的持續關係,因為它在宗教、政治、經濟和文化上表現出來,包括我們在拘禁或火化之前與我們所愛的人的屍體的觸覺關係。 前兩篇文章(第一篇由 Abou Farman 撰寫,第二篇由 Jenny Huberman 撰寫)側重於否認死亡的敘述,或者更恰當地說,是超人類主義、技術未來主義和長期主義中預防死亡和根除死亡的願望。矽谷技術和億萬富翁階層及其周圍出現的術語模式,以及低調的至上主義和優生學主題,即誰值得這樣的技術來延長壽命。 Tamara Kneese 探討了可穿戴技術、人壽保險業以及經濟義務之間的關係,即生與死的經濟義務負責任地保持健康、預防死亡,同時為那些在你身後倖存的人留下充足的經濟資源。在 “Circling the Drain” 中,廣泛討論了階級、種族和經濟地位如何塑造我們對“善終”和臨終關懷的看法,而 Kneese 關於“負責任的死亡”的語言將對這些做出寶貴貢獻討論。 … Continue reading

How to Argue with Racist :What our Genes do (and don’t)abouthuman difference
某些地域的人總認為自己的文化是獨特的 (有那個文化不是獨特的?),更認為自己的民族是超凡的丶純粹的;這與每個白人至上主義者的偽科學種族主義者有何分别? 想想每個白人至上主義者都有非洲和中國的祖先……不禁不對種族偽科學作出精彩揭穿。。。 每個納粹都有猶太祖先。 僅僅發現這個事實就值得 Adam Rutherford 去書寫這本引人入勝且富有啟發性的 “How to Argue with Racist :What our Genes do (and don’t)abouthuman difference” 一書。 作為一名訓練有素的遺傳學家,Rutherford 是一位多才多藝的作家,他知道如何根據科學數據編織一個引人入勝的故事,因為他解釋說我們的共同祖先比 70,000 年前離開非洲大陸的一小羣泛非洲物種要晚得多。 一個流行的神話是,今天活著的人比死去的人多。 目前全球人口約為 78 億,並以每天 22 萬的速度增長。 據估計,我們這個物種智人大約有 1080 億成員。 死者人數可能比生者多近 1000 億,但正如 Rutherford 指出的那樣,當你讀到這篇文章時,活著的人比歷史上任何一天都多。 假設幾代人相隔 … Continue reading
