《化身博士》中的身体政治和人工智能隐喻

李    璇（Li Xuan） [1]

摘要：罗伯特·斯蒂文森的《化身博士》长期以来被视为探讨身份、自我与人格分裂的经典文本。然而，其中蕴含的身体政治与人工智能隐喻却未得到充分关注。本文探讨科学实践如何颠覆传统的身心统一性，塑造畸形的具身性。通过分析杰基尔博士的药物实验对身体的规训，预警当代具身智能发展中的权力挑战。海德对杰基尔的侵占与反噬，揭示了创造物对造物者的主体性威胁，也映射出人工智能发展的困境。本文重新挖掘《化身博士》的当代价值，为人工智能时代的主体性与身体界限问题提供新思考。

Title: Body Politics and Artificial Intelligence Metaphors in Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Abstract: Robert Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) has long been regarded as a classic text exploring identity, self, and the split personality. However, the body politics and artificial intelligence metaphors embedded within it have not received sufficient attention. This paper analyzes Dr Jekyll’s bodily transformation and discipline through drug experiments, exploring how scientific practices subvert the traditional unity of mind and body and shape a deformed embodiment. It also serves as a warning for the new power challenges in the development of contemporary embodied intelligence. By examining how Hyde encroaches upon and backlashes against Jekyll, it reveals the threat of human creations to subjectivity and the dilemmas in the development of contemporary artificial intelligence. This paper re-explores the contemporary value of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, providing new avenues for thinking about subjectivity and bodily boundaries in the age of artificial intelligence.
