▌2020學實學校｜不死之軀——續命術、數位替生與賽伯格
「不死之軀」系列講座以人類對於「永生」的慾望為出發點，及醫療知識對人類生、死經驗的中介與影響，逐場次地推展關於科技發展下對未來生命想像的討論。

▌講座大綱
講題｜死亡、醫療化與文明的進程
講師｜蔡友月（中央研究院社會學研究所副研究員）
回應人｜孫效智（臺灣大學哲學系教授）
法國史學家菲立普‧埃里耶斯（Philippe Aries）在他的著作《我們的死亡時刻》（The Hour Of Our Death, 1974）一書中，描寫整個歐洲文明由早期基督教時代一直到今日，隨著不同時期社會的變遷中，所形塑出人對死亡的態度也會有所不同。埃里耶斯指出溫馴的死亡是十世紀初主要的特色，「溫馴」代表對死亡抱持著一種平常的態度，死是一件很簡單的事，死亡只是生命的一部份，是日常生活中司空見慣的一種現象。在這個時期死亡並非是一項個人單獨的冒險，而是包含著全體社區共同的連帶，透過集體的公共儀式使成員感到力量再生，化解失落的危機。直到整個二十世紀中後期（1950－1975），死亡才轉變為是一種羞恥（shameful）的事，隨著醫療科技的進步，家庭制度的變遷，以及對臨終病人醫療照顧制度化的影響，死亡已很少發生在家中。本次演講將反省死亡在過去幾百年前和今日有何不同？死亡被納入醫療化處理有什麼特色？醫療科技的進步，如何使現代人面臨更多複雜的倫理抉擇？我們是否能透過醫療理念、制度的改進，達到安詳、尊嚴死亡的目標？

As a thematic lecture/workshop series initiated by TheCube Project Space in 2016, Praxis School has been co-organized by TheCube and C-LAB since 2018, and will enter its fifth year in 2020.
Following the theme Tiangong Kaiwu II: Modern Life and the History of Technology that ran through the events in 2018 and 2019, the 2020 Praxis School advances it by treating human desire for immortality as the point of departure, focusing on how medical knowledge intervenes in and affects human experiences of life and death, so as to progressively spark insightful discussions on the imagination of future life in view of current technological development. The main theme of the 2020 Praxis School, Immortal Body, is divided into several subthemes that touch upon the concepts of life sustaining wizardry, digital replacement, cyborg, and so forth, through which the 2020 Praxis School attempts to explore the views of life in different societies and knowledge systems as well as in different stages of technological development.
The scheduled lecture series will be delivered by scholars including Hung Kuang-Chi, Tsai Yu-Yueh, Wu Chia-Ling, Li Shang-Jen, Chuang Chun-Mei, and Lin Wei-Ping whose specializations encompass the history of science, palliative care, thanatology, reproductive technology, the history of occidental medicine, post-colonialism, and feminism. In addition, the 2020 Praxis School is going to hold two thematic lectures under the rubric of Gaia, Technology, and Extinction this October as a response to the 2020 Taipei Biennial—You and I don’t live on the same planet: New Diplomatic Encounters, for which Bruno Latour and Martin Guinard serves as the curators.

❚ Death, Medicalization and The Progression of Civilization
Lecturer: Tsai Yu-Yueh (assistant researcher, Department of Sociology at Academia Sinica)
Discussant: Sun Hsiao-Chih (prof., Department of Philosophy at the National Taiwan University)
Venue: C-Lab, ART SPACE I Gray-Box (No.177, Sec. 1, Jianguo S. Rd., Da’an Dist., Taipei City)
In his book The Hour of Our Death (1974), French historian Philippe Aries charted the European attitude toward death shaped by social changes from the early Christianity to his days. He pointed out that the early 10th century was characterized by the tame death, in which “tame” implies having a poised attitude toward death and taking it easy as a part of life, namely a common occurrence in daily life. During this period, death was not so much a personal adventure as the superglue for the whole community that breathes new life into its members via collective rites, thereby solving the crisis of their sense of loss. It was not until the mid- and late-20th century (1950-1975) that death became shameful. Death seldom occurs at home nowadays, as medical technology advances, the family system changes, and the hospice care is institutionalized. This lecture will review the different views of death from the past centuries to the present era, and revolve around the following questions: What are the characteristics of including death in the medicalization? How do the advances in medical technology complicate the ethical choices for modern people? Can we have a peaceful, dignified death with the improvement of medical philosophy and medical system?
