ABSTRACT

The feeling of social isolation can be uncomfortable, painful even, and as modernity continues to shift from a period of ‘solidity’ into one of ‘fluidity’ individuals are certain to encounter it more frequently. However, a way of dealing with this circumstance is to view social isolation as something that can be directly embraced and exploited. That is to say, with enough creativity, imagination, and determination social isolation can be reimagined to open up new possibilities of enchantment. With this in mind, this paper focuses on a group of urban explorers who manage to invent themselves through a process of self-creation known as anthropotechnics. What this means is that pursuits such as urban exploration can be used to transform carceral archipelagos of isolation into carceral archipelagos of leisure. In short, these can be understood as occasions where individuals harness an ‘inner chaos’ that is normally contained and controlled in everyday life.

摘要

社会孤立的感觉可能令人不舒服，甚至是痛苦的，随着现代性继续从“稳固”时期转变为“流动性”时期，个人肯定会更频繁地遇到这种感觉。然而，处理这种情况的一种方法是将社会孤立视为可以直接接受和利用的东西。也就是说，只要有足够的创造力、想象力和决心，就可以重新想象社会隔离，从而开辟新的魅力可能。考虑到这一点，本文关注一群城市探险家，他们设法通过被称为人类学的自我创造过程来创造自己. 这意味着城市探索等追求可用于将孤立的监狱群岛转变为休闲的监狱群岛。简而言之，这些可以理解为个人利用日常生活中通常包含和控制的“内心混乱”的场合。
