Troyer falleció en 1842 y aun es rememorado en el folclore local.

In this episode we hear from John Troyer, author of Technologies of the Human Corpse and the Director of The Center for Death and Society at The University of Bath. We discuss the way technology is blurring the distinctions between life and death, the emergence of death studies from the 70s social and political milieu and how his own experiences of bereavement inform his research. The relationship of the dead body with technology through history, from nineteenth-century embalming machines to the death-prevention technologies of today. Death and the dead body have never been more alive in the public imagination—not least because of current debates over modern medical technology that is deployed, it seems, expressly to keep human bodies from dying, blurring the boundary between alive and dead. In this book, John Troyer examines the relationship of the dead body with technology, both material and conceptual: the physical machines, political concepts, and sovereign institutions that humans use to classify, organize, repurpose, and transform the human corpse. Doing so, he asks readers to think about death, dying, and dead bodies in radically different ways. Troyer explains, for example, how technologies of the nineteenth century including embalming and photography, created our image of a dead body as quasi-atemporal, existing outside biological limits formerly enforced by decomposition. He describes the “Happy Death Movement” of the 1970s; the politics of HIV/AIDS corpse and the productive potential of the dead body; the provocations of the Body Worlds exhibits and their use of preserved dead bodies; the black market in human body parts; and the transformation of historic technologies of the human corpse into “death prevention technologies.” The consequences of total control over death and the dead body, Troyer argues, are not liberation but the abandonment of Homo sapiens as a concept and a species. In this unique work, Troyer forces us to consider the increasing overlap between politics, dying, and the dead body in both general and specifically personal terms. Learn more about your ad choices.

If there is one thing in life that we could choose not to experience, it is the death of someone we love. Losing a friend or family member is heartbreaking and hard to accept, but how we deal with it, and how we ‘move on', varies from person to person.如果生活中有一件事是我们可以选择不经历的，那就是我们所爱的人的死。失去朋友或家人令人心碎且难以接受，但我们如何处理它，以及我们如何“继续前进”，因人而异。Death is, of course, inevitable, but sometimes we feel the passing of a loved one has come too soon. Our first reaction is to grieve, and even though we may soon be encouraged to accept closure and let go, the grieving can last a while. But grief is a very natural, human response to loss and can take the form of many unexpected emotions, from shock to guilt, anger and disbelief.死亡当然是不可避免的，但有时我们会觉得亲人的去世来得太早了。我们的第一反应是悲伤，尽管我们可能很快会被鼓励接受关闭并放手，但悲伤可能会持续一段时间。但悲伤是一种非常自然的人类对失去的反应，可以采取许多意想不到的情绪形式，从震惊到内疚、愤怒和怀疑。When someone dies, we may be tempted to put on a brave face and hide our feelings. But experts say that this is the time to talk about feelings – even cry and sob and show people you are suffering. There's nothing wrong with trying to keep the memory of the deceased alive. You can talk to them in your head, write them a letter or share memories with other people who knew them.当有人去世时，我们可能会试图装出勇敢的面孔并隐藏我们的感受。但专家说，现在是谈论感受的时候了——甚至哭泣和抽泣，向人们展示你正在受苦。试图让死者的记忆保持活力并没有错。您可以在脑海中与他们交谈，给他们写信或与其他认识他们的人分享回忆。Some people have chosen to make a more permanent reminder of someone by getting a memorial tattoo. Dr John Troyer from Bath University told the BBC: “You can have a continuing bond with the dead… I think it's a very important way for people to come to terms that someone's left.”有些人选择通过获得纪念纹身来更永久地提醒某人。巴斯大学的约翰·特洛耶博士告诉 BBC：“你可以与死者保持持续的联系……我认为这是人们接受某人离开的一种非常重要的方式。”Whatever approach you take to grieving and to keeping someone's memory alive, eventually the physical aching and pain caused by the loss of a loved one will subside. But the memories of that person and the times we shared can stay with us forever, and talking about them and expressing your feelings is all part of the healing process. But as singer and songwriter Patti Smith told the BBC: “Loss is something that we never get over.”无论您采取何种方法来悲伤和保持对某人的记忆，最终因失去亲人而造成的身体疼痛和痛苦都会消退。但是那个人的记忆和我们共享的时光可以永远留在我们身边，谈论他们并表达你的感受是治愈过程的一部分。但正如歌手兼词曲作者帕蒂史密斯告诉 BBC 的那样：“失去是我们永远无法克服的事情。”词汇表lose 失去heartbreaking 令人心碎的move on 接受现实，继续向前inevitable 不可避免的，必然发生的passing 逝世grieve （因某人过世而）伤心，悲痛closure 解脱，宽慰let go 放手grief 悲痛，悲哀disbelief 怀疑，不相信put on a brave face 强装勇敢，假装不在乎sob 抽泣suffer 受苦，经历（坏事）memory 记忆，回忆the deceased 去世的人，亡故者memorial 纪念性的，追悼的come to terms (with something) 逐渐接受loved one 亲人，家人healing process 治愈过程

Was nineteenth-century settler John Troyer a target of supernatural evil - or just paranoid?

Death and the dead body have never been more alive in the public imagination--not least because of current debates over modern medical technology that is deployed, it seems, expressly to keep human bodies from dying, blurring the boundary between alive and dead. In Technologies of the Human Corpse (MIT Press, 2020), John Troyer examines the relationship of the dead body with technology, both material and conceptual: the physical machines, political concepts, and sovereign institutions that humans use to classify, organize, repurpose, and transform the human corpse. Doing so, he asks readers to think about death, dying, and dead bodies in radically different ways. Troyer explains, for example, how technologies of the nineteenth century including embalming and photography, created our image of a dead body as quasi-atemporal, existing outside biological limits formerly enforced by decomposition. He describes the "Happy Death Movement" of the 1970s; the politics of HIV/AIDS corpse and the productive potential of the dead body; the provocations of the Body Worlds exhibits and their use of preserved dead bodies; the black market in human body parts; and the transformation of historic technologies of the human corpse into "death prevention technologies." The consequences of total control over death and the dead body, Troyer argues, are not liberation but the abandonment of Homo sapiens as a concept and a species. In this unique work, Troyer forces us to consider the increasing overlap between politics, dying, and the dead body in both general and specifically personal terms.

Topic 2 - You and I have been having this on-going conversations about DevOps and trying to figure out how it relates to your “former” community at VMware, and the broader world of IT. (e.g. - need for infrastructure and IT infra skills) Topic 3 - Now a days you are more engaged around open source communities. What are you seeing in terms of users vs. vendors vs. customers vs. a general understanding of these dynamics by the overall marketplace? Topic 4 - You and I were both at KubeCon last week. What were your thoughts on that “community” and the overall set of communities around containers? Topic 5 - Communities have evolved somewhat since you were at VMware. Things like Slack, GitHub, StackOverflow, the rise of Meetups, etc. are very different. What do you see that’s valuable and where do you see issues and complexities? Feedback?

Executive Director of EVANA

Brian talks with Nathen Harvey (@nathenharvey, Community Manager @chef) about how he became a Community Manager, his passion for DevOps, The Food Fight podcast, the future of configuration management and the best first steps to developing the skills to build infrastructure-as-code at your company. Interested in the Tech Reckoning? Our friend John Troyer (@jtroyer) does an outstanding job building communities. He's hosting an awesome event in Half Moon Bay, CA on Sept.13-14 for IT professionals and leaders that are shaping the future of the industry. You don't want to miss this one!

Topic 2 - We listen to Michael Ducy’s Goat Farm podcast, and hear a number of people from Chef speak at various events. It feels like what Chef is focused on is more about hands-on cultural change than technology. Is that a fair assessment of how it’s evolving? Topic 3 - I heard you speak recently at a Triangle DevOps event about Infrastructure-as-Code, which is a big concept, but it’s grounded in actual technology. But that topic always gets wrapped up in DevOps and all these other analogies (Unicorn, Goats, etc..). Does that get old for you, or is it just the nature of working on stuff that’s trying to change 20yrs of previous habits and culture? Topic 4 - Let’s talk about config management. There’s this new believe/buzz that maybe Docker eliminates the needs for previous config-mgmt system. Why are we hearing that discussion, and what are the broader realities of config-mgmt (and Infrastructure as Code)? Topic 5 - I feel like we have a big problem brewing, if this Cloud Native apps (Microservices, 12-Factor, etc.) stuff takes off, because a lot of the principles of DevOps are so foreign in today’s Ops teams. What do you recommend to people to get to learning and doing things “the right way” more quickly?

The word "Avatar" was not conceived by a Hollywood film producer but comes from the Sanskrit word for "descent". It relates to when a deity manifests in an earthly embodiment. In Christianity "incarnation" describes the coming of the divine in bodily form to the world in which we inhabit. Does this make Jesus an "Avatar"? Some Hindu's believe so. In this programme Ernie Rea explores the parallels and distinctions between the two and, as new technologies offer the prospect of digital "Avatars" able to simulate our personalities in the online world after death, discusses what such developments tell us about contemporary attitudes to life-after-death and immortality. Joining Ernie Rea to discuss the theology and digital reinvention of "Avatars" are Dr Chetna Kang, Hindu priest and psychiatrist, David Law Professor of Christian Thought and Philosophical Theology, and Dr John Troyer, Deputy Director of the Centre of Death and Society at the University of Bath. Producer: Catherine Earlam.
