Cyborg Ontology By Teresa Aguilar book "Cyborg Ontology" and exposure to different positions on the becoming-cyborg thought that perhaps in the chapter on transhumanism in sight a "trans" something different from the " abolish the body as when consciousness pure information is downloaded to the network can do without it. "
The cyborg is a monster indeed, a demontruosité, freak shows, but it seems that it must be superseded by a hyper and information that resonates pure Hegelianism, among other things, opposing the body awareness and by appealing to a synthesis whose result should be the abolition, the abolition body:
"Transhumanism is poses a transcendental, abstract, pure, for which do not need a human anchor of organic, but rather it is resolved impediment to post-biological existence as is necessary deletion. "
And also:
" Human beings define as post-human [...] They would have been rid of all dependence on biological parts. "Haraway
however, is more cautious here:
" The cyborg is text, machine, body and metaphor, all theorized and immersed in communications. "
The body (and as we speak we seem to refer to meat) should be destroyed or abandoned, like a shell. I think the body, from the perspective of Augmented Reality is the opening to a plus of reality and the substantial improvement of the body and, therefore, of consciousness he also afoot. The issue of metal ratio (technology)-body (meat) that should be kept to avoid isolation of the World and to avoid being at once too subject to it is a paradigm that presents important. We should not think as if percentages are involved. This put us more in a humanist ethical level by asking "how much risk our own nature." I see no good that the issue be raised in terms of ratios of access intangible information or receptivity pure transhumanist style. In this sense, the debate would revolve constantly around a center of gravity and communicative linguistic idealist (not abstract), namely: The perfect channel, the transmitter-receiver perfect and the perfect message.
On one side of the scale, human flesh, on the other, steak ideal information. What is happening in the middle is the figure of a cyborg that looks a haven for information or operate with the melancholy of what was or might have been. A cyborg that focuses on an Augmented Reality from a virtualization-update the same data through specific devices and materials, no doubt, open to new combinations and recombinations that generate active affects and liabilities and in any case involving an excess of reality in continuous open and catch.
Returning to the subject matter-body, it is important to distinguish between body and body-conformant the affecting-affected.
The body is imperfect when compared (input X fascinated by technological readiness) with technical machines, precise production, not decadent rhythm and pace of order execution quickly, can be automated or scheduled. Not that you try to compare "different natures, but to compare entities that qualitatively differ in form, content, expression and production.
This fascination takes the allopoietic idealistic basis or at least, as if the information was only relevant and worthy of being treated / procesuada in the foreground. Pure information is still seen as baptism of the cyborg. It is true that says we're in the information society, but even given this, of course, there is a infosphere that in no way abstraería from other areas, but in reality, is really connected. This infosphere is especially relevant in the new economy and business development dotcom or the commercial aspect and stock market performance of firms that operate directly on the Web
The infosphere also succumbs -How could it be otherwise, the settlement of "land" cyberspace, either through domain and speculation with them, either through acquisition of addresses (names of websites). In this case, the information is put in brackets for that product that will be released soon (any product) and need a trade name or brand. The brand name is less distinctive information encompasses information that other shows to be noticed.
Why talk about business and capitalism at the same time Augmented Reality and transhumanism? Essentially for three reasons:
a) The capitalist wants the deterritorialised transhumanism absolute deterritorialization of consciousness. Both are on the website the "new promised land" where to continue and complete their routine.
b) The cyborg is the semi-schizoid Network and post-humanism. The cyborg was machine and is now coupling allopoietic machine that will enhance autopoiesis chaosmosis Guattari explains.
c) Capitalism and the cyborg are infected each other. The cyborg approach should be known to infect without being infected by the antidote that would annul or encoded, either in the plane cyberspace or in the non-territorial cyberspace.
can not know what the body, and instead to promote and discover the power-coupling exogenous-endogenous, almost like making it disappear, subtly or directly for pure informational. Are many positive contributions to this paradigm, and it is compounded by the physiognomy, so forgotten today.
