关于技术争论及其解决方式的社会学探讨——基于“F滤波器”标准化案例的经验考察

A Sociological Inquiry into Technical Controversies and Its Closure: Based on the Case of "F-Filter"

争论是科学社会学和技术社会学共同关注的问题,解决争论的过程同时也是建构事实的过程。本文以标准化这种解决技术争论的典型制度化途径作为研究技术争论的切入点,根据一般标准化协商过程的"准入-争论-转译"(ACT)理论,对A标准化工作组中的"F滤波器"争论过程进行追踪,结果发现工作组成员共同遵循的介观标准是展开争论并达成共识的基础。基于对介观标准构成要素的分析,作者认为应该从人与物之间具有时间延续性的相互作用关系来理解社会建构的过程。

Controversies are common concerns of sociology of science and social study of technology. The process of dealingwith controversies to seek a closure always means a construction process of fact. Focusing on standardization, a typical institutionalapproach to achieve consensus, as a cut-in point to study technological controversy, this research traces a controversy case of'F-Filter' based on the Access-Controversy-Translation Model raised by Junbin SU (2008) . 'F-Filter' Case indicates that the'meso-standard' shared among members of A Working Group is a precondition based on which controversy proceeds and getsclosured. After analyzing the factors that constitute the meso-standard of A Working Group, the author points out that the socialconstruction process should be interpreted by the continuing interaction between human and non-human actors.
