چکیده
در جهان مدرن، پیشرفت‌های بی‌سابقه تکنولوژیک به تحولی بنیادین در تعریف بدن و شیوه‌های زیست انسان انجامیده است. در این میان، ترابشریت به مثابه یکی از بزرگ‌ترین چالش‌های فلسفی و عملی عصر حاضر، با بهره‌گیری از فناوری‌های پیشرفته، سعی در عبور از مرزهای محدودیت‌های فیزیکی و روانی انسان دارد. این پژوهش، با اتکا بر پدیدارشناسی مرلوپونتی، به کاوش و بازتعریف مفهوم بدن در عصر ترابشریت و ورزش می‌پردازد. نتایج حاکی از آن است که فناوری‌های ترابشری، همچون پروتزهای مصنوعی و مهندسی ژنتیک، به صورتی بنیادین بر ادراک و تجربه بدنی ورزشکاران اثر گذاشته و افق‌های نوینی را برای تفسیر بدن به عنوان موجودی پویا و در حال تکامل می‌گشاید. در عصر ترابشریت، مفهوم سنتی بدن دیگر قادر به تبیین گستره تجربه و ادراک انسان‌ها نیست. بر اساس پدیدارشناسی مرلوپونتی، پیشنهاد می‌شود به جای "بدن"، از مفهوم "سیستم تجربی پویا" برای درک تحول‌پذیری و چندوجهی بودن بدن در دنیای تکنولوژیک استفاده شود. این بازتعریف، ماهیت پویا و در حال تحول بدن را در ارتباط با محیط‌های مختلف از جمله فیزیکی، دیجیتال و ذهنی به تصویر می‌کشد و به تحلیل تجربه‌محور زیست و هویت در عصر ترابشریت می‌پردازد.

چکیده English

In the modern world, unprecedented technological advancements have fundamentally transformed our understanding of the human body and our lived experiences. Among these, transhumanism stands as one of the greatest philosophical and practical challenges of our time, seeking to transcend the limits of human physical and mental capabilities through advanced technologies. This research, grounded in Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, delves into and redefines the concept of the body in the age of transhumanism and sports. the findings reveal that transhuman technologies, such as prosthetic limbs and genetic engineering, profoundly influence the perception and bodily experiences of athletes, opening new horizons for interpreting the body as a dynamic and evolving entity. In the transhuman era, the traditional concept of the body is no longer sufficient to account for the breadth of human experience and perception. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, we propose replacing "body" with the concept of a "dynamic experiential system" to capture the transformability and multifaceted nature of the body in a technological world. This redefinition highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of the body in relation to various environments, including the physical, digital, and mental, and facilitates an experience-based analysis of life and identity in the age of transhumanism.
