Sexbots Playing the Imitation Game.
Anthropologists generally reject philosophical issue-based scenarios such as trolley problems, viewing them as thin and decontextualized in comparison to ethnographic engagement. This article argues, though, that philosophical scenarios and ethnography share a structural homology in that they are bo...

This article argues, though, that philosophical scenarios and ethnography share a structural homology in that they are both attempts to articulate not only a range of solutions but also the nature of the underlying problem that generates them. It investigates the implications of this homology for anthropological analysis by comparing the Turing Test, here framed as a philosophical scenario, with how secular and religious American transhumanists discuss the possibility of sexual encounters with mechanical or computer-virtual entities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
