This study provides a cultural-historical analysis of remote control in three stages. In the early 20th century, remote control first emerged as the extension of individual intention across geographic space. Later, remote control became articulated to shifting geopolitical contexts, which placed in tension the reliability and security of the connection between the individual and the outcome. In more recent years, remote control has been articulated as both a geopolitical threat and a domestic blessing. As a result, this study demonstrates the complexity of the concept of remote control and the utility of a cultural historical approach for understanding the mutual constitution of technologies and culture.

遥控:一段文化史

本研究分三个阶段对远程控制进行文化历史分析。20世纪初,遥控作为个体意图在地理空间上的延伸首次出现。后来,远程控制与不断变化的地缘政治环境相联系,这使个人与结果之间联系的可靠性和安全性变得紧张。近年来,远程控制已被阐明为地缘政治威胁和国内福祉。因此,本研究证明了远程控制概念的复杂性以及文化历史方法在理解技术和文化的相互构成方面的效用。
