Abstract: The internal ambiguity and complexity of posthuman culture include both technological aspects and science fiction imagination. Science fiction imagination is the companion of technology, and it also plays a promoting role in the development of technology. Posthuman has had a sci-fi component since its utopian origins, and sci-fi images have a particularly enlightening and motivating effect. The impact of “seeing” on reality is extremely significant, especially in the image of future robots or artificial intelligence. The Shapes of Human have the cultural power to convey human nature. The near future derived from science fiction is also isomorphic with Future studies in sociological sense, which causes some confusion of facts, but also plays a role in previewing future social conditions. The form of posthuman culture is complex and the internal meanings are complex and varied, but after all, it shows a clear and recognizable overall cultural outline, and the shaping function of science fiction factors on posthuman culture is one of the clear and visible clues.

Key words: science fiction imagination, posthuman culture, near future, humanoid, imagery

摘要: 后人类文化内部含混复杂,既有技术一面,又有科幻想象一面,科幻想象既是技术的伴生物,也对技术发展起到促进作用。后人类从其乌托邦起源处就具有科幻成分,科幻影像尤其起到了启示和激励作用。“看见”对事实性的影响是极其显著的,未来机器人或人工智能的影像形象更是如此,人形具有传递人性的文化力量。科幻近未来与社会学意义的未来学也具有同构性,这造成一定的事实混淆,同时也起到提前预演未来社会状况的作用。后人类文化形态复杂,内部含义复杂多变,但毕竟显示出一个清晰可辨的整体文化轮廓,科幻因素对后人类文化的塑造功能是其中一条清晰可见的线索。
