This paper fashions a lens through which to view scholarly identity and the experience of academic writing. The lens of inquiry I apply is the metaphor of Season 1 of sci-fi HBO television show Westworld and its characters, especially its cyborg protagonist Dolores. Thrumming like electric currents through this lens of inquiry are Haraway’s theorization of the cyborg, the fictional worlds of science fiction and Wonderland, my own lived experience, and Deleuze and Guatta ri’s desiring - machines and bodies without organs. I engage in the cyborgic technology of writing in order to playfully explore what it means to be a cyborg academic operating in intersecting machinic worlds. I ask: Can we listen to our internal voices and write our own stories? Can we burn the world clean with our scholarship and the ways in which we interrogate ingrained and expected practices?

机器人，想要的机器，没有器官的身体和西方世界：质疑学术著作和学术身份

本文为观察学者身份和学术写作经验提供了一个镜头。我使用的调查镜头是科幻HBO电视节目《西部世界》（Westworld）第一季的隐喻，以及其人物，尤其是半机械人的主人公多洛雷斯。通过这个探究镜头像电流一样扑朔迷离，是哈拉威对半机械人的理论化，科幻小说和仙境的虚构世界，我自己的亲身经历以及德勒兹和瓜塔里对机器和没有器官的身体的渴望。我从事写作的赛博格技术，以期能乐于探索在相交的机械世界中从事半机械人的工作。我问：我们可以听取内部声音并撰写自己的故事吗？我们是否可以用我们的奖学金以及审讯根深蒂固的预期做法的方式来清洁世界？
