Enhancement, prostheses, body upgrades - in recent times, we have come to observe a technological penetration of the body that must be conceived of as a symptom of a far-reaching social, economic and cultural transformation towards a culture of optimization and upgrading. Why should the increasingly generalized imperatives towards optimization not apply to the body? In the context of a growing technological reproducibility of the body, the individual seems to be liberated from the limits of their natural constitution: regardless of medical indications, medicinal and surgical possibilities of optimization are being used just as actively as technological enhancement or digitized concepts of performance and health. Dierk Spreen reconstructs the context in which the transformation of values resulting in this culture of upgrade took place, and discusses possibilities for theoretical responses in sociology. Dierk Spreen (PD Dr.), Soziologe und Politikwissenschaftler, arbeitet zu Allgemeiner Soziologie, Medienkultur, Gewalt und Krieg in der Weltgesellschaft sowie zur Technisierung des Menschen.

Enhancement, prostheses, bio-upgrade - recently, there has been an observable technological permeation of the body, which is to be understood as a symptom of a deep societal, economic, and cultural shift towards a culture of enhancement and upgrading. In the context of increased technological reproducibility of the body, the individual seems to be increasingly free of the limits of its natural constitution. So why should societal optimizing imperatives stop short of the body? Dierk Spreen reconstructs the contexts of origin of this value shift and discusses their chances and risks. eBook Dierk Spreen PDF, Transcript Verlag, 01.07.2015, Transcript Verlag, 2015<
