在流行和学术话语中，可穿戴技术的主要特征是量化技术，为穿戴者提供关于自身及其环境的新知识。这种有限的表征并没有充分利用那些确实可穿戴但不简单量化的技术。这篇文章认为，可穿戴性包括修辞工作以外的流行，主流技术，如健身追踪器和睡眠监测器。使用朱迪西格尔的“kairology”，本文跟踪五个造口术袋的叙述，重点是权力和约束的叙述，并分析穿着和不同的身份，这些经验支持竞争的经验。本文最后对kairology如何非常适合帮助研究人员梳理出佩戴者和技术之间的动态过程以及这些过程所带来的身份进行了初步探讨。
In both popular and scholarly discourse, wearable technologies are characterized primarily as technologies that quantify, providing wearers with new knowledge about themselves and their environments. Such limited characterizations do not fully engage technologies that are, indeed, wearable but do not simply quantify. This essay argues that wearability encompasses rhetorical work beyond that of popular, mainstream technologies like fitness trackers and sleep monitors. Using Judy Segal’s “kairology,” this essay traces five ostomy pouch narratives—focusing on narratives of empowerment and constraint and analyzing competing experiences of wearing and the divergent identifications those experiences support. The essay concludes with preliminary insights into how kairology is well-suited to help researchers tease out the dynamic processes between wearer and technology, as well as the identities that those processes make possible.
