摘　　要：在本文中,作者运用吉尔伯特·西蒙顿(Gilbert Simondon)的原创模型,对当前我们面临的理论临界状态作了深入思考。"理论"之死这种当代话语认为,或因过度解构,或因海量数据的压迫,"理论"已经死亡。作者提出,这种临界状态可以模拟热力学的相变来解释;确切地说,按照西蒙顿的理论,临界态就是一种被技术性和宗教之间的残余相变干扰的相变。因理论的临界态也是临界理论的状态,故而作者又选取了两个近期研讨过这种临界态的当代理论进行研讨:一个是推知实在论,一个是行动者网络理论。作者认为两者均无法解开技术宗教相移这个谜题,并陈述了理由。作者认为,当代的理论实践已经采取了当今技术性所允许的形式,这便预告了理论的临界态,也就是研究风起云涌、魔法遍地开花之时。In this paper,the author uses Gilbert Simondon's ontogenetic model to ponder about the critical state of theory we now face.Against contemporary discourses about the death of Theory,which has allegedly died of an excess of deconstruction or under a flood of data,he argues that this critical state might in fact be understood in the sense of a thermodynamic phase transition,and more precisely,following Simondon,as a phase transition impaired by a residual phase shift between technicity and religion.Since the critical state of theory is also a state of critical theory,he then move to the discussion of a couple of contemporary theories which have claimed recently to address this critical state:speculative realism and Actor-Network Theory.The author explains why he considers that neither can solve the riddle of the technoreligious phase shift.Instead,he argues that the contemporary practice of theory has taken the form that today's technicity allows,prefiguring its critical state,the time of swarm scholarship and distributed magic.
