Primo Levi's Narratives of Embodiment: Containing the Human (Routledge Studies In Twentieth-century Literature Ser. #16)
by Charlotte RossThis innovative reading of Primo Levi’s work offers the first sustained analysis in English of his representations of bodies and embodiment. Discussion spans the range of Levi’s works — from testimony to journalism, from essays to science fiction stories — identifying and tracing multiple narratives of embodiment and disembodiment across his oeuvre. These narratives range from the abject, disembodied condition of prisoners in Auschwitz, to posthuman or cyborg individuals, whose bodies merge with technological devices. Levi’s representations of bodies are explored in relation to theories of embodiment and posthumanism, bringing his work into new dialogue with critical discourses on these issues. Taking inspiration from Levi’s definition of the human being as a constructor of containers, as well as from the recurring references to both material and metaphorical containing structures in his work, the book suggests that for Levi, embodiment involves constant negotiations of containment. He depicts the complex relationships between physical and social bodies, the material and the immaterial self, the conscious and unconscious subject, the organic and the technologically-enhanced body, engaging with evolving understandings of the boundaries of the body, the self, and the human.

Primus AD
by Mauricio R B Campos Billy ClintonDie landvorming proses op Mars sou nooit suksesvol gewees het teen die tyd dat dit uitgevoer is as daar geen hulp van die robots was nie. Toe die eerste Huŏxīng 3.0-masjiene op Mars aangekom het, het hulle die aanvanklike menslike kolonies gevind. Heeltemal afhanklik van voorrade wat gereeld vanaf die Aarde gebring word. Die masjiene was reeds selfversorgend, geprogrammeer om in die Marsse grond te vind wat hulle nodig het om replikas van hulleself te skep, en boumateriaal vir die kweekhuisgasbedrywe, wat koolstofdioksied in suurstof aangewend het. Elke nuwe skip wat op die rooi planeet aangekom het, het aan die menslike gemeenskap voorsien, 'n nuwe reeks masjiene het aangekom om die proses van landvorming te help. Benewens die Humanoid robots van die werkersklas, het die sowers gekom. Die saaiers was groot springrobotte, wat voordeel getrek het uit die seldsame atmosfeer van die planeet om spoed tot dertig meter hoog in hul voortbeweging uit te voer. Hulle het in hulle boesem 'n kolonie bakterieë gedra wat hulle in die dertiende dale en vlaktes van Mars gekweek en versprei het. Bakterieë wat spesiaal vir hierdie doel ontwikkel is deur aardse genetici, het vinnig gereproduseer en deur fotosintese het koolstofdioksied in suurstof verander.Vir baie jare het hierdie robotte hierdie proses van landvorming voortgesit totdat daar onder wetenskaplikes ooreengekom is dat die water by die Marspole nie sal smelt teen die spoed wat nodig is om 'n omgewing te skep wat bevorderlik is vir menslike lewe nie. Na baie beraadslaging het ons tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die beste opsie om water na Mars te bring, sou wees om die yswater tussen die mane en die atmosfeer van Jupiter te trek. Dit sou verskeie missies in hierdie vyandige omgewing inneem, sodat die hoeveelheid water voldoende was. Tegnologiese ontwikkelingsmaatskappye moes masjiene toerus met toenemend komplekse kunsmatige intelligensie prosesse vir hierdie poging om die masjiene vry te stel van afstandmoni
