本論文以「賽伯格閱讀」的方式在台灣當代小說中「讀取」三種賽伯格主體，並且展望賽伯格閱讀批判當代科技社會的可能性。賽伯格閱讀意指將文本中的人事物讀出賽伯格的意味。也就是說，賽伯格閱讀所分析的文本不必然、也不需要是容易讓人直接聯想到賽伯格理論的科幻文本，而能是更寬泛的、各種形式的文本──包括不是科幻小說的文本。重點不在於有沒有，而在於如何；不在於文本「本身」有沒有賽伯格主體的再現，而在於如何以賽伯格閱讀去讀取文本當中的賽伯格主體，並且探討該賽伯格主體如何構成，終而批判科技和特定權力位階的共謀。本論文盡量選擇科幻小說以外的文本作為分析對象，藉此挑戰「賽伯格理論通常連結到科幻文本」的刻板印象。此外，本論文也以「拼裝」這個詞彙思考混雜各種異質元素的賽伯格主體構成。本論文所提出的「義肢人」、「遊戲人」、「動物人」這三種賽伯格主體，是受哈洛威（Donna Haraway）的〈賽伯格宣言〉中「三種關鍵的界線破裂」之說所啟發。三種賽伯格主體各自對應、補充三種界線的不穩固──義肢人體現了「有機體和無機物的混淆」、遊戲人呼應「物質和非物質的曖昧不明」、動物人則為「人類和動物的難以區別」。本研究聚焦於1990年代以後的非科幻文本，並在分析其中賽伯格主體及處境時，納入身心障礙研究和生態女性主義的批判方法。本研究並非藉著後人類和賽伯格鼓吹單純地擁抱科技、宣稱人類已非人類，而是要藉著後人類和賽伯格來再次警惕科技的利弊、鼓勵各界在不同脈絡中「重新發明人類」──意即，重建一種更不具排斥性、更為寬廣的對於人的想像。 / The current study suggests that the reinvention of the human stands as a potential field for future Taiwanese literature. This thesis attempts to conceptualize the subjectivities of the posthuman even beyond the field of science fiction. This thesis labels the literary practices outside science fiction as “non-science fiction.” The focus lies on non-science fiction for two reasons. One, this study attempts to challenge the assumption in Taiwanese literature that associates the concept of the posthuman only with science fiction. Second, this study finds that the presupposed literary category of science fiction limits the imagination of cyborg- or posthuman-related subjects in Taiwanese literature. Inspired by the work of well-known cyborg theorist Donna Haraway, this study notes that non-science fiction texts present three kinds of posthuman existence. According to Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto,” “three crucial boundary breakdowns” make the cyborg possible. The three kinds of posthuman in this thesis correspond to Haraway’s three boundary breakdowns. The man of prosthesis corresponds to the blurred boundary between organism and non-organism, the man of video games to the physics and non-physics, and the man of animal to the humans and animals. This analysis focuses on Taiwanese non-science fiction texts from the 1990s onwards and applies concepts from disable studies and ecofeminist criticism, in addition to posthuman and cyborg theories. Situated within posthuman/cyborg studies, this thesis does not celebrate the breakdown of boundaries but points to the redefinition of the human which reduces and deconstructs hierarchal oppressions.

本文試圖探究行動電話於當代普及所帶來的影響。一直以來，網際網路及隨之而生的「模控空間」都被看作是我們這個時代最重要的媒介與文化發展。然而，晚近十年間的電子媒介技術發展卻顯示出，行動電話已然成為網際網路之外同樣影響人們日常生活甚鉅的一種媒介。甚至，如同Howard Rheingold所指出的，它已逐漸地改變了我們當下與未來的生活形式。循此，簡言之，本文的目的即在於，試圖理解行動電話所帶來的是什麼樣的生活世界，以及這又是如何可能的？在回答此一問題時，本文所採取的基本理論觀點與分析架構乃是一種試圖超越過去技術決定論的新取徑。亦即，立基於「人─技術─世界」相互關連的關係性基礎上，本文主張，人們日常使用與操作技術的實作實際上總是展開於技術物所形塑的結構脈絡之中，同時，此一結構脈絡本身卻也是由人們的實作過程「有方法地」反身維繫與再建構的。換言之，本文將說明，實際上行動電話普及所帶來的影響不僅僅導因於技術特性的結構作用，同時也是人們日常實作持續建構與維繫的結果。 更清楚地說，在論文中我們指出了行動電話普及所導致的結構性變遷與影響為（1）由行動電話「水平嵌合」的延伸形式所帶來的「混雜實在」。也就是說，行動電話的使用者實際上是處於一種「雙面舞台」的情境之中。透過行動電話的中介，人們如今理所當然地將其脈絡視為是混雜交織著虛擬／物質、遠處／近在的指涉。（2）源自於行動電話「流動」的技術特性而逐漸形成的「即刻化時間」與「個人化社會空間」的時空框架。正是在這一轉變的時空框架中，浮現了本文稱之為「隨傳隨到的個人社群」的新形態人際關係樣態。而這些結構性的變遷與影響，在本文看來，同時也是人們日常實作持續「有方法地」完成、維繫與再生產的產物。以俗民方法學為基礎，本文回到實際日常使用與操作行動電話的實作過程中，探究人們是如何有方法地完成「打行動電話」的日常生活。例如，我們指出了「體現」與「轉譯」乃是人們操作行動電話理所當然地依賴著的方法；此外，由於「打行動電話」的實作仍「在」當下既存的互動場景之中，其完成也就有賴於「協同實作」的打造；人們的實作也顯示出，並不只是由於行動電話的技術特性與設計，更是因為人們總是有方法地管理、完成「打行動電話」的過程，人際之間的連結才呈現為「個人化即刻連繫」之樣態。 總之，藉由這些觀察與分析，本文試圖指出行動電話造就的「結構」實際上也是實作建構的產物。然而，雖然本文主張人們實際上參與了框限著自身的「結構」的建構，但這並不意味著人們就必然只能如此生存著。相反地，從「人─技術─世界」的相互關連來看，既然我們的日常生活並非單純由「技術」所決定的、既然我們的生存樣態同樣也取決於自身的「實作」，本文在最後試圖說明的便是，我們也就總是有著「不必然如此」的可能性。藉由三個案例的呈現，本文說明了「多元」的行動電話使用與操作實作如何可能。些實作並不是意圖正面對抗、顛覆既那些與行動電話實作相關的既有「常識」與「預設」，但在其迴避、繞道、偏離與走出的各種形式中，我們卻能清楚地看到實際行動電話的使用與操作中，如何不斷地逾越了既有的軌跡與秩序。換言之，回過頭來，本文試圖說明的是，「理解」行動電話同時也意味著我們必須要在各種「捨」與「得」的權衡之中做出選擇。在每一刻的行動電話操作實作之中，我們不僅選擇了如何完成當下的秩序，同時也選擇了走向什麼樣的「行動未來」。這不僅是「如何生活」──亦即，如何使用行動電話的選擇──的問題，同時也是關於「如何存在」──亦即，在更根本的層次上成為什麼樣的存有──的反思。 / This thesis attempts to discuss the impacts brought by the prevalence of mobile phones. Although the Internet and the cyberspace have been thought as the most important media and cultural development of our age, the progress of the electronic media in recent decade has showed that mobile phones have also brought important structural changes in our life. Accordingly, what we want to understand is how mobile phones have changed our life world. In response to this question, the thesis adopts a new approach which goes beyond the traditional technological determinism. That is, based on the interrelationship of the “human-technics-world”, it proposes that the everyday technological practices always unfold in the context structured by our technics, and the structured context itself is also, at the same time, constructed reflexively by user’s technological practices. First, the thesis indicates the structural changes brought by mobile phones as follows: (1) the “hybrid reality” emerging from the extending and mediation of mobile phones; (2) the “immediatization of time” and the “individualization of social space” resulted from the widespread use of mobile phones. Second, based on ethnomethodology, we explore how the user accomplishes the everyday “using” of the mobile phone skillfully and reflexively. The investigation shows that, for example, (1) the user, while using the mobile phone, depends upon the methods of “embodiment” and “translation”, and takes them for granted; (2) the accomplishments of the using practices actually are the products of the “cooperation” between the user and the members at the scene because the user is still “in” the present situation; (3) the using practices also show that the “individualized and immediatized connection” which emerges as the figure of our interpersonal relationship is not only due to the technical characteristics of mobile phones, but also the product of user’s skillful using practices. Third, although the thesis advocates that the everyday using practices reflexively construct the structural changes which in turn shape the practices themselves, it also attempts to point out that we still have the possibility of transgressing the given structural constraints. We explicate, by three cases, how different and multiple ways of mobile phone using are possible. These “variant practices” do not represent the opposition and the subversion of the given structure shaped by mobile phones, but indicate that we still could choose different ways of using, and different kinds of life.
