摘要:

英国戏剧家戈登·克雷构想的“超级傀儡”概念隐喻了理想演员的身体所具有的纯粹的“肉/物”性,而以虚拟偶像为代表的,数字时空中的“赛博超级傀儡”的身体则是一种离身化的信息身体。从“超级傀儡”到“赛博超级傀儡”的身体景观进化标志着戈登·克雷继承与发展的实体论身体观被“后人类”时代的控制论身体观所取代,这不仅使演员的身体存在范式发生了深刻的转变,也使观众的身体被虚拟化并对观演关系成了冲击。为了应对作为离身化“超人类”的“赛博超级傀儡”的挑战,人类演员不应该退回到“超级傀儡”意象所暗示的“前人类”状态,而是应该凭借与技术共存的强化肉体进化为一种具身化的“后人类”

Abstract:  The concept of “Uber-Marionette,” proposed by the British theatre practitioner Gordon Craig, is a metaphor for an ideal performer whose body has a purely “corporeal/material” quality. In contrast, the body of Cyber “Uber-Marionette,” represented by virtual idols in digital time-space, is a kind of disembodied information body. The evolution of the body landscape from “Uber-Marionette” to Cyber “Uber-Marionette” marks a transition from substantialist views on the body, inherited and developed by Gordon Craig, to cybernetic views on the body in the age of “posthumanism”. This transformation has not only brought about a profound change in the paradigm of existence of the performer's body but has also virtualized the body of the audience and shaken the performer-spectator relationship. In order to respond to the challenges posed by the Cyber “Uber-Marionette” as a kind of disembodied “hyperhuman,” the human performer, rather than retrogressing into the state of “prehuman” implied by the image of “Uber-Marionette”, must evolve into a kind of embodied “posthuman” whose strengthened body coexists with technology.
