Immortalities: The Changing Nature of the Human Being

Awarded: NOK 91,249

Technological innovation in human-computer interfaces, breakthroughs in medical biotechnology, and the emerging notion that aging is a disease seriously challenge established understandings of what a human being is, or might be. A substantial reason for current popular interest in emerging technologies is the possibility of living forever; the prospect of human immortality. This project will explore contemporary pursuits of immortality in order to enhance our understanding of the ways in which a new human being is articulated, and examine the social and cultural basis for these conceptualizations.
