ANT的“互构论”世界图景及其“组合方法”

The World Picture of“Co-construction”and Its“Method Assemblage”of ANT

在借鉴“常人方法论”社会生成性等观点的基础上,在案例深描的过程中提出,ANT作为动员盟友的资本化铭写,技科学在简化和操控世界的过程中联结并置换了人类和非人类的异质性行动者。基于此,ANT提供了审视科学与社会相互建构的这一世界图景,从而启迪人们在本体论层面将身处的世界视为纷繁复杂且不断重构的“科技社会系统”。ANT“互构论”世界图景的呈现,得益于其自身中隐含的“组合方法”--推行“新规范主义、关系主义、实践生成主义、人文主义”等方法论准则。尽管ANT不仅是一种理论、更是一种方法,但是目前也不应推行“征服世界”这一学科帝国主义立场。

Based on the viewpoint of social generationism from Ethnomethodology,the actor-network theory(ANT)proposes that techno-science,as the capitalized inscription of mobilizing allies,associates and replaces the heterogeneous human and non-human actors in the process of simplifying and controlling the world through deep description of cases.As a result,ANT,as the"middle-level theory"of sociology,provides a world picture of co-construction of science and society,so as to inspire people to regard the world they live in as a complex and constantly reconstructed"socio-technical system"at the ontological level.The presentation of the enacted world picture of "co-construction"of ANT benefits from the"method assemblage"implied in itself,which promotes the methodological norms of"new normalism,relativism,generationism and humanism".Although ANT is not only a theory,but also a method,it should not take on the imperialist position of"conquering the world".
