这本书致力于一个看似简单但原创的论点：复制是人类必不可少的一部分，复制的能力值得庆祝，如果不认识到复制对人类是多么不可或缺，我们就无法理解我们自己或我们生活的世界。尽管有法律、耻辱和焦虑，但“复制”这个词渗透到当代文化中，塑造了从嘻哈到数字化再到性别调整等问题的话语，在有关知识产权和版权的法律辩论中尤为关键。然而，作为一个哲学概念，复制仍然鲜为人知。马库斯·布恩的工作跨越了不同的文化和时代，他对这个词的历史、文化和哲学意义，以及为什么它让我们充满恐惧和迷恋进行了研究。他认为，今天定义复制的占主导地位的法律-政治结构掩盖了更广泛的模仿过程，这些过程长期以来构成了人类社区，并在今天继续塑造着各种亚文化。借鉴当代艺术、音乐和电影、美学史、批评理论和佛教哲学和实践，《赞美复制》试图展示复制如何有效以及为什么复制有效，其力量的来源是什么，以及在全球化时代重新谈判我们重视复制的方式的政治利害关系。
This book is devoted to a deceptively simple but original argument: that copying is an essential part of being human, that the ability to copy is worthy of celebration, and that, without recognizing how integral copying is to being human, we cannot understand ourselves or the world we live in. In spite of the laws, stigmas, and anxieties attached to it, the word 'copying' permeates contemporary culture, shaping discourse on issues from hip hop to digitization to gender reassignment, and is particularly crucial in legal debates concerning intellectual property and copyright. Yet as a philosophical concept, copying remains poorly understood. Working comparatively across cultures and times, Marcus Boon undertakes an examination of what this word means - historically, culturally, philosophically - and why it fills us with fear and fascination. He argues that the dominant legal-political structures that define copying today obscure much broader processes of imitation that have constituted human communities for ages and continue to shape various subcultures today. Drawing on contemporary art, music and film, the history of aesthetics, critical theory, and Buddhist philosophy and practice, "In Praise of Copying" seeks to show how and why copying works, what the sources of its power are, and the political stakes of renegotiating the way we value copying in the age of globalization.
