“Postdualist” approaches, such as the material turn in the humanities and social sciences, represent understandable reactions to the humanist and idealist traditions in Western thought, but tend to be deluded by a focus on individual artifacts rather than on the global, material relations on which their existence depends. The attribution of agency and even desires to abiotic objects, championed by posthumanist researchers such as Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway, is cognate to the category mistakes recurrently identified by social theorists as fetishism and anthropomorphism. Paradoxically, given their subversive ambitions, proponents of the new concern with materiality and artifactual agency are offering an ideology that ultimately buttresses the capitalist world order by ignoring the materiality of world trade and the causality inherent in the artifact of money. The concerns with distributed agency also tend to displace responsibility and accountability from humans to artifacts. Moreover, in converging with a deep genealogy of ideas that blur the boundary between nature and artifice, the material turn depoliticizes technology by naturalizing it. The article proposes a new anthropology of technology that acknowledges the reliance of modern technology on asymmetric global resource flows orchestrated by money and the fictive reciprocity of market prices.

物体没有欲望：超越拟人论的技术人类学

“后二元论”方法，例如人文社会科学中的物质转向，代表了对西方思想中的人文主义和唯心主义传统的可以理解的反应，但往往被关注个体人工制品而不是全球的物质关系所迷惑。他们的存在取决于。由布鲁诺·拉图尔和唐娜·哈拉威等后人类主义研究人员所倡导的将能动性甚至欲望归因于非生物对象，与社会理论家反复认定的拜物教和拟人论的类别错误是同源的。矛盾的是，鉴于他们的颠覆野心，对物质性和人工制品的新关注的支持者正在提供一种意识形态，这种意识形态最终通过忽视世界贸易的物质性和货币制品中固有的因果关系来支持资本主义世界秩序。对分布式代理的担忧也倾向于将责任和问责制从人类转移到人工制品。此外，在与模糊自然与人工界限的深刻思想谱系相融合时，物质转向通过自然化技术而使技术去政治化。这篇文章提出了一种新的技术人类学，它承认现代技术依赖于由货币和市场价格的虚构互惠协调的不对称全球资源流动。[ 对分布式代理的担忧也倾向于将责任和问责制从人类转移到人工制品。此外，在与模糊自然与人工界限的深刻思想谱系相融合时，物质转向通过自然化技术而使技术去政治化。这篇文章提出了一种新的技术人类学，它承认现代技术依赖于由货币和市场价格的虚构互惠协调的不对称全球资源流动。[ 对分布式代理的担忧也倾向于将责任和问责制从人类转移到人工制品。此外，在与模糊自然与人工界限的深刻思想谱系相融合时，物质转向通过自然化技术而使技术去政治化。这篇文章提出了一种新的技术人类学，它承认现代技术依赖于由货币和市场价格的虚构互惠协调的不对称全球资源流动。[ 这篇文章提出了一种新的技术人类学，它承认现代技术依赖于由货币和市场价格的虚构互惠协调的不对称全球资源流动。[ 这篇文章提出了一种新的技术人类学，它承认现代技术依赖于由货币和市场价格的虚构互惠协调的不对称全球资源流动。[物质转向、后人文主义、拜物教、技术、后二元论]
