本文调查了《连线》杂志（2008-2012）上提出的量化自我（QS）的隐喻。四个相互关联的主题——透明度、优化、反馈回路和生物黑客——被认为是定义新的数字自我和促进数据主义范式的形成性主题。《连线》杂志用QS比喻抓住了某些兴趣和欲望，而忽略和淡化了其他的，暗示QS将自我跟踪设备和应用程序定位为激发技术参与的界面，从而推动我们以数据驱动的方式重新思考生活。QS的主题分析被视为提出关于自我量化的关键问题的概要性援助，例如，检测认识论主张、技术设备和做市努力的合并。从这个角度来看，QS的另一个定义出现了：一个在目标上保持灵活的知识系统，可以用作认识论探究和形成替代范式的资源。
This article investigates the metaphor of the Quantified Self (QS) as it is presented in the magazine Wired (2008–2012). Four interrelated themes—transparency, optimization, feedback loop, and biohacking—are identified as formative in defining a new numerical self and promoting a dataist paradigm. Wired captures certain interests and desires with the QS metaphor, while ignoring and downplaying others, suggesting that the QS positions self-tracking devices and applications as interfaces that energize technological engagements, thereby pushing us to rethink life in a data-driven manner. The thematic analysis of the QS is treated as a schematic aid for raising critical questions about self-quantification, for instance, detecting the merging of epistemological claims, technological devices, and market-making efforts. From this perspective, another definition of the QS emerges: a knowledge system that remains flexible in its aims and can be used as a resource for epistemological inquiry and in the formation of alternative paradigms.
