废物奇观

English | 2024 | ISBN: 1509557407 | 186 pages | True PDF | 5.7 MB

The modern bathroom is an ingenious compilation of locked doors, smooth porcelain, 4-ply tissue and antibacterial hand soap, but despite this miracle of indoor plumbing, we still can't bear the thought that anyone else should know that our bodies produce waste. Why must we live by the rules of this intense scatological embarrassment? In Spectacles of Waste, leading historian of medicine Warwick Anderson reveals how human excrement has always complicated humanity's attempts to become modern. From wastewater epidemiology and sewage snooping to fecal transplants and excremental art, he argues that our insistence on separating ourselves from our bodily waste has fundamentally shaped our philosophies, social theories, literature and art—even the emergence of high-tech science as we understand it today. Written with verve and aplomb, Anderson's expert analysis reveals how in recent years, humanity has doubled down on abstracting and datafying our most abject waste, and unconsciously underlined its biopolitical signature across our lives.

英文| 2024 |国际标准图书编号:1509557407 | 186页|真PDF | 5.7 MB 现代浴室是锁着的门、光滑的瓷器、4层纸巾和抗菌洗手液的巧妙组合,但尽管有室内管道的奇迹,我们仍然无法忍受其他人应该知道我们的身体会产生废物的想法。为什么我们必须遵守这种强烈的粪便尴尬的规则?在《浪费的奇观》一书中,著名医学历史学家沃里克·安德森揭示了人类排泄物如何使人类成为现代人的努力变得复杂。从废水流行病学和污水窥探到粪便移植和粪便艺术,他认为,我们坚持将自己与身体废物分开,从根本上塑造了我们的哲学、社会理论、文学和艺术,甚至是我们今天所理解的高科技科学的出现。安德森的专家分析充满活力和沉着,揭示了近年来人类如何加倍努力,将我们最卑鄙的浪费抽象化和数据化,并在不知不觉中强调了它在我们生活中的生物政治特征。
