Transhumanism as a New Social Movement
The Techno-Centred Imagination /[electronic resource] :by James Michael MacFarlane. - 1st ed. 2020. - IX, 239 p. 1 illus.online resource. - Palgrave Studies in the Future of Humanity and its Successors. - Palgrave Studies in the Future of Humanity and its Successors.
1. The Trans-Human Condition: Science Slightly Over the Edge? -- 2. Moving Beyond Humanism: A Review of Literature -- 3. Methods and Methodology -- 4. Constituents -- 5. Mobilisations -- 6. Politics -- 7. Existence -- 8. The Techno-centred Imagination.
This book explores Technological Human Enhancement Advocacy through ethnographically inspired participant observation across a range of sites. James Michael MacFarlane argues that such advocacy is characterized by ‘Techno-centrism,' a belief grounded in today’s world while being also future-oriented and drawn from the imagination. This blurring of ‘real’ and ‘imagined’ futures borrows from the materialist grounding of the scientific worldview, while granting extended license to visions for technology as an enabler of forward-facing action, which include reviving humanist ideals associated with the modernization project. While Techno-centrism is arguably most pronounced in transhumanism—where it is acted-out in extreme, almost hyperbolic ways—it reflects more generally held, deep-seeded concerns around the future of science, technology and human self-identity in the new millennium. Far from being new, these emerging social forms capture unresolved ambivalences which have long cast a shadow over late-modern society and culture.
