The Post-Body: Demographic, Economic and Social Dilemmas of the Present
Bryan S. Turner 한국사회학회 2015 韓國社會學 Vol.49 No.6
We are all familiar with the idea that as a result of improvements in the standard of living there has been a significant improvement in the life expectancy of people in the developed world. In this article, I focus on a related development – the so-called ‘life extension project’. This program promises through extensive technological intervention to maximize both therapy (to remove suffering) and enhancement (to improve our capabilities) resulting in an indefinite prolongation of life. Radical bio-gerontology promises not only that humans will live well beyond 120 years, but they can do so without illness and disease. The utopian dream of radical post-humanism is that death, at least as we understand it today, is not inevitable. Hypothetically the outcome of the life extension project is the post-body. The ‘natural body’ is replaced by a synthetic or hybrid body – an assemblage of human organs supplemented with computers, nanotechnological machines, artificial organs, and a brain enhanced by drugs and medical technologies. In short, the ‘human’ will be ontologically transformed by technology. In the future society, there will be both humans, who do not have the benefit of expensive technology, and post-humans, who have the economic resources to finance such transformations.

The Globalization of Human Rights:Violence, New Wars and Failed States
Bryan S. Turner 한국학술연구원 2006 Korea Observer Vol.37 No.1
The development and importance of human rights has been neglected by sociology as a major feature of globalization in the second half of the twentieth century. Indeed we might speak usefully of a “juridical revolution” or “entitlements revolu-tion” comparable to other great revolutions of which sociologists are fond -- industrial, capitalist or French revolutions. Perhaps one reason for the neglect is that, unlike citizenship, about which so-ciologists have written a lot, human rights are by definition not social rights of national citizens. Human beings have rights because they are vul-nerable and the social institutions that are designed to protect them are also precarious. Can sociolo-gists develop a adequate causal accounts of the rise of human rights as global phenomena? Many writ-ers have argued that the struggle against slavery laid the foundation for these rights, but the concept of “crimes against humanity” is a consequence of the modernisation of warfare and the rapid in-crease in civilian casualties in World War II. Subse-quently the development of “new wars” involving systematic rape, harassment of civilian populations and erosion of civil institutions illustrates how the technical development of violence and reduced costs of weapons produces a rights crisis. Failed states by definition cannot protect citizenship rights, and hence human rights are a global re-sponse to such crimes against humanity. These lo-cal low intensity wars are unlike the mass wars of the first half of the twentieth century, and have had devastating consequences in failed states. Finally, the future of globalisation will involve increasing attacks against ordinary citizens, and will require determined responses from both global civil society and nation states if the rule of law is to be de-fended.
