Research On Body Discipline Of Smart Bracelet From Embodied Perspective

The body is the basis for people to interact with the outside world.People pay increasing attention to and attach importance to the body.The body senses the environment and interacts with the world.With the development of technology,people are eager for "redundant needs" and have a deeper desire to explore the body.Wearable technology comes into being under such needs,and smart bracelet is one of the representatives.It can record,interact and analyze real-time data of the body,and reconstruct a digital avatar for people by putting the body in a scene of virtual and real mixing.To be the intermediary of perception between the body and the body,the intermediary of connection between the body and the real world.In this study,semi-structured interview method and participatory observation method will be adopted to study people’s body discipline in the process of using smart bracelet from the perspective of embodied through in-depth use and participatory observation degree.Based on embodied theory,the theory of body discipline will be used as the framework.As an embodied medium,smart bracelet emphasizes the interaction of "human-technology-environment",forming a micro power in the mutual discipline with the body.The space of body discipline is expanded and time is extended under the embedment of smart bracelet,and micro power penetrates daily life all day long.Although individuals are manipulated,supervised and controlled to a certain extent,they become the owner of the smart bracelet through physical discipline in this power relationship.Specifically,this paper first elaborates the research background,and discusses the existing research on smart bracelets and embodied media.Secondly,it discusses that smart bracelets become an important channel for people to obtain body information during the use of smart bracelets,from the monitoring of the body to the change of people’s own behavior and cognition.Thirdly,through in-depth interview,the body discipline under the use of smart bracelet is analyzed and discussed from three aspects:hierarchical monitoring,normative adjudication and ritualized inspection.Through observation and interview,it is found that the body discipline brought by smart bracelet is more comprehensive and hidden,which has both positive and negative effects.For the negative effects of smart bracelet discipline,people are not at the disposal,but resist through ignoring,refusing and other ways in the process of body discipline.Finally,it reflects on the body discipline in the use of smart bracelet.As a writing machine,the body has complicated entanglements with technology.However,under the new technology,technology goes deep into the body,so people need to look at the discipline brought by technology more rationally,face the problems between technology and the body in the best state,and pursue the "self-liberation" of the body.
