 R.U.R. and the Vision of Artificial Life【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A new translation of Karel ?apek’s play ＜em＞R.U.R＜/em＞.ーwhich famously coined the term “robot”ーand a collection of essays reflecting on the play’s legacy from scientists and scholars who work in artificial life and robotics.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Karel ?apek's “R.U.R.” and the Vision of Artificial Life＜/em＞ offers a new, highly faithful translation by ?t?p?n ?imek of Czech novelist, playwright, and critic Karel ?apek’s play ＜em＞R.U.R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots＜/em＞, as well as twenty essays from contemporary writers on the 1920 play. ＜em＞R.U.R.＜/em＞ is perhaps best known for first coining the term “robot” (in Czech, ＜em＞robota＜/em＞ means serfdom or arduous drudgery). The twenty essays in this new English edition, beautifully edited by Jitka ?ejkov?, are selected from ＜em＞Robot 100＜/em＞, an edited collection in Czech with perspectives from 100 contemporary voices that was published in 2020 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the play.＜/p＞ ＜p＞?apek’s robots were autonomous beings, but biological, not mechanical, made of chemically synthesized soft matter resembling living tissue, like the synthetic humans in ＜em＞Blade Runner, Westworld＜/em＞, or ＜em＞Ex Machina＜/em＞. The contributors to the collectionーscientists and other scholarsーexplore the legacy of the play and its connections to the current state of research in artificial life, or ALife. Throughout the book, it is impossible to ignore ?apek’s prescience, as his century-old science fiction play raises contemporary questions with respect to robotics, synthetic biology, technology, artificial life, and artificial intelligence, anticipating many of the formidable challenges we face today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Contributors＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Jitka ?ejkov?, Miguel Aguilera, I?igo R.

 R.U.R.【電子書籍】[ Karel Capek ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞One of the classics of twentieth-century theater, this brilliantly conceived and exquisitely executed play by Czech playwright Karel ?apek (1890?1938) looks to a future in which all workers are automatons, or "robots" ー a word this play made a permanent part of the language. The robots revolt when their manufacturing formula is changed to make them more irritable and to give them the human ability to hate, and the resulting catastrophe makes for a powerful and deeply moving theatrical experience.＜br /＞ "It is murderous social satire, done in terms of the most hair-raising melodrama," wrote Alexander Woolcott in his 1922 review of the first U.S. performance of this universally admired play. Heywood Broun wrote, "?apek is potentially one of the great men in the modern drama. He has devised a scene at the end of the third act as awesome as anything we have ever seen in the theatre." This is the scene in which one of the last remaining humans, knowing himself and his species to be doomed, muses: "It was a great thing to be a man. There was something immense about it."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 132円 |
