Societal Impact in Research Collaborations beyond the Boundaries of Science 超越科学界限的研究合作的社会影响

Abstract Research collaborations beyond the boundaries of science—such as transdisciplinary, participatory or co-research projects—usually aim at increasing the societal impact of the research conducted. In the literature discussing such collaborations, as well as in science policy endorsing them, it is generally assumed that the wanted societal impact is achieved through exchange that contributes to knowledge production and to the results of the research. However, collaboration beyond the boundaries of science can help a research project reach its societal impact goals even if it does not contribute to the epistemic outcomes of the project at all. Instead, other kinds of contributions from the extra-academic partners, and what the extra-academic partners receive from the collaboration, can be crucial. Recognizing this helps us to better understand existing practices, and to identify potentially interesting forms of collaboration beyond the boundaries of science.
超越科学界限的研究合作,如跨学科、参与性或合作研究项目,通常旨在增加所进行研究的社会影响。在讨论这种合作的文献中,以及在支持这种合作的科学政策中,人们通常认为,想要的社会影响是通过有助于知识生产和研究结果的交流来实现的。然而,超越科学界限的合作可以帮助一个研究项目实现其社会影响目标,即使它根本没有对项目的认知结果做出贡献。相反,来自非学术合作伙伴的其他类型的贡献,以及非学术合作伙伴从合作中获得的东西,可能是至关重要的。认识到这一点有助于我们更好地理解现有的实践,并确定超越科学界限的潜在有趣的合作形式。

Latour on Politics: Political Turn in Epistemology or Ontological Turn in Politics? 论政治的拉图尔:认识论的政治转向还是政治的本体论转向?
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-02-01 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00583

Abstract According to some authors, Latour’s attention to politics during the last decades is the result of his proposing a different approach to politics that entails, with respect to his overall project, one of two situations. Either his epistemological proposal has suffered a “normative turn”—which necessarily breaks with the previous assumptions of Actor-Network Theory (ANT); or, if ANT’s view on technosciences remains valid, his political proposal becomes not possible as a new normative approach. In this paper, I will focus on the critique voiced by John Law, as well as Graham Harman. I will argue that this is a false dilemma because there has not been a change in Latour’s conceptual basis, nor a lack of coherence within his thought that would undermine the democratic commitment of his Political Epistemology. I will justify this by exposing the fact that Latour’s overall project, as part of Science Studies, has not lately followed a “political” but an “ontological” turn, which has been underling his works since the very beginning of ANT.
根据一些作者的说法,拉图尔在过去几十年里对政治的关注是他提出了一种不同的政治方法的结果,就他的整体项目而言,这需要两种情况之一。要么是他的认识论主张遭遇了“规范转向”——这必然与行动者网络理论(ANT)先前的假设相违背;或者,如果ANT对技术科学的看法仍然有效,那么他的政治建议就不可能成为一种新的规范方法。在本文中,我将重点关注约翰·劳以及格雷厄姆·哈曼所提出的批评。我认为这是一个错误的困境,因为拉图尔的概念基础并没有改变,他的思想中也没有缺乏连贯性,这将破坏他的政治认识论的民主承诺。我将通过揭露这样一个事实来证明这一点,即拉图尔的整体项目,作为科学研究的一部分,最近并没有遵循“政治”而是“本体论”的转向,这从ANT开始就一直支撑着他的作品。

Reinvigorating the Nineteenth Century Scientific Method: A Peirce-pective on Science 重振19世纪的科学方法:皮尔斯对科学的看法
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00605

Abstract This paper proposes to recover the topic of the philosophy of scientific method from its late nineteenth-century roots. The subject matter of scientific method sprouted from key inferential ingredients identified by Charles Peirce. In this paper, the historical path is traversed from the viewpoint of contemporary Cognitive Structural Realism (CSR). Peirce’s semiotic theory of methods and practices of scientific inquiry prefigured CSR’s reliance on embodied informational structures and experimentation upon forms of relations that model generic scientific domains. Three results are shown to follow from this convocation: (i) a naturalization of Peirce’s interconnected abductive, deductive and inductive stages of the logic of science, here characterized de novo in terms of CSR. (ii) a perspective to scientific modeling that incorporates processes of abstraction and generalization as originated from Peirce’s logic of science, and (iii) diagrammatic reasoning as a pivotal method in analyzing scientific reasoning in experimental practices.
摘要:本文试图从19世纪末的根源中恢复科学方法哲学这一主题。科学方法的主题从查尔斯·皮尔斯确定的关键推论成分中萌芽。本文从当代认知结构现实主义(CSR)的观点出发,穿越了这一历史路径。皮尔斯关于科学探究方法和实践的符号学理论预示了企业社会责任对具体信息结构的依赖和对一般科学领域的关系形式的实验。从这一召集中显示出三个结果:(i) Peirce的科学逻辑相互关联的溯因,演绎和归纳阶段的归化,在这里以CSR为特征从头开始。(ii)结合源自皮尔斯科学逻辑的抽象和概括过程的科学建模视角,以及(iii)图解推理作为分析实验实践中科学推理的关键方法。

Constitutional Ecology of Practices. Bringing Law, Robots and Epigrams into Latourian Cosmopolitics 实践的宪政生态。将法律、机器人和警句带入拉图里亚的世界政治
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00585
N. van Dijk
Abstract This article explores the role of constitutional thought in Latour’s work on cosmopolitics. It will study his non-modern proposal in the Politics of Nature (2004) and argue for a constitutional rather than political understanding. To address criticisms of being too metaphysical or unpractical, we will work out the notion of a “constitutional ecology of practices” to highlight how different practices such as politics, science, organization, but also law, all contribute to the design of the stage and processes for composing a common world. Special focus will here be placed on the role of “epigrams”: practical models for ordering contributions of different practices or modes in hierarchical relationships. This renders them identifiable, mobilizable, and contestable as cross-cutting models for shaping mutual relations in concrete collaborative settings. The case of the legal regulation of robots will be presented as an example of a cosmopolitical attempt to introduce non-human entities in the common collective. We will here observe the role that epigrams play in framing, ordering and contesting the epistemic contributions of the various practices involved in this innovation ecology. This case will be used to discuss Latour’s proposals and to study non-modern constitutionalism in action.
摘要本文探讨了宪法思想在拉图尔世界政治学研究中的作用。它将研究他在自然政治(2004)中的非现代建议,并主张宪法而不是政治理解。为了解决对过于形而上学或不切实际的批评,我们将提出“实践的宪政生态”的概念,以强调政治、科学、组织以及法律等不同的实践如何为构成共同世界的阶段和过程的设计做出贡献。这里将特别关注“警句”的作用:在等级关系中排序不同实践或模式的贡献的实用模型。这使得它们作为在具体合作环境中塑造相互关系的跨领域模型具有可识别性、可调动性和可竞争性。机器人的法律法规的情况下,将提出作为一个例子,一个世界性的尝试,以引入非人类实体的共同集体。在这里,我们将观察警句在构建、排序和争论这种创新生态中涉及的各种实践的认知贡献方面所起的作用。这个案例将被用来讨论拉图尔的建议,并研究非现代宪政的实践。

Actor Network Theory and Sensing Governance: From Causation to Correlation 行动者网络理论与感知治理:从因果关系到相关关系
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00584

Abstract This article is organized in four sections. The first section introduces sensing governance in terms of the governance of effects rather than causation, focusing on the work of Bruno Latour in establishing the problematic of contingent interaction, rather than causal depth, as key to emergent effects, which can be unexpected and catastrophic. The second section considers in more depth how sensing governance enables politics by other means through putting greater emphasis on relations of interaction, rather than on ontologies of being, and links the methodological approach of sensing governance closely to actor network assumptions that disavow structures of causation. The final two sections analyze how correlation works to reveal new agencies and processes of emergence and how new technologies have been deployed in this area, providing some examples of how the shift from causal relations to sensing effects has begun to alter governmental approaches.
本文共分为四个部分。第一部分从效应治理而非因果治理的角度介绍了感知治理,重点介绍了布鲁诺·拉图尔(Bruno Latour)在建立偶然互动问题(而非因果深度)方面的工作,这是紧急效应的关键,可能是意想不到的和灾难性的。第二部分更深入地考虑了感知治理如何通过更多地强调相互作用的关系,而不是存在的本体论,以其他方式实现政治,并将感知治理的方法方法与否认因果关系结构的行动者网络假设紧密联系起来。最后两节分析了相关性如何揭示新的机构和出现的过程,以及新技术如何在这一领域得到部署,并提供了一些例子,说明从因果关系到感知效应的转变如何开始改变政府的方法。

Bruno Latour’s Science Is Politics By Other Means: Between Politics and Ontology 布鲁诺·拉图尔的《科学是另一种方式的政治:在政治与本体论之间》
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00579
È. Seguin, Laurent-Olivier Lord
Abstract “Science Is Politics By Other Means” (SIPBOM) was coined in The Pasteurization of France, Latour’s 1984 empirical study of the birth of microbiology. Yet, it encapsulates an outstanding political theory of science that Latour has never formalized and that has remained unnoticed to this day. The theory is comprised of two dimensions. The first one is the ontological labor performed by science, that is, the laboratory production of new nonhumans. The second one is the ability of science to devise and implement novel policies targeted at the new beings it produces. These “other means” are incorporated in political projects and contribute to the shaping of society. Fifteen years later, Latour published Politics of Nature ([1999] 2004), a full-blown political treatise equally devoted to the political character of science. It would be mistaken, however, to assume that it falls in the same SIPBOM paradigm as the Pasteur study. The compositionist theory it offers redefines politics as the institution of the nonhumans that make up external reality, a task that has traditionally been monopolized by Science. In this sense, “science is politics by other means” has become “politics is science by other means,” these “other means” now referring to “cosmopolitics,” that is, the due process advocated by compositionism. The first claim of the present paper is that the respective weight ascribed to politics and ontology is different in The Pasteurization of France and in Politics of Nature. The second claim is that compositionism is not as successful as Latour’s early theory to account for the politicity of science.
“科学是政治的另一种方式”(SIPBOM)是拉图尔1984年对微生物学诞生的实证研究《法国的巴氏灭菌》中提出的。然而,它包含了一种杰出的科学政治理论,拉图尔从未将其形式化,直到今天仍未被注意到。这个理论由两个维度组成。第一种是科学进行的本体论劳动,即新的非人类的实验室生产。第二个是科学设计和实施针对它所产生的新生物的新政策的能力。这些“其他手段”被纳入政治项目,并有助于塑造社会。15年后,拉图尔出版了《自然的政治》([1999]2004),这是一本同样致力于科学的政治特征的成熟的政治论文。然而,假设它属于与巴斯德研究相同的SIPBOM范式将是错误的。它提供的构成主义理论将政治重新定义为构成外部现实的非人类的制度,这一任务传统上由科学垄断。在这个意义上,“科学是通过其他方式的政治”变成了“政治是通过其他方式的科学”,这些“其他方式”现在指的是“世界政治”,即构成主义所倡导的正当程序。本文的第一个主张是,在《法国的巴氏灭菌》和《自然的政治》中,各自赋予政治和本体论的权重是不同的。第二种观点认为,在解释科学的政治学方面,组合论并不像拉图尔早期的理论那样成功。

Attending to Latour’s Militaristic Rhetoric and Politics “With Other Means” 论拉图尔的军国主义修辞与政治“用其他手段”
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00581
L. Nelson
Abstract While much has been written on Latour’s politics and use of militaristic language, by attending to some of Latour’s lesser known or read writings, his political location within the traditional Left-Right spectrum becomes more discernable, as does the reason for his frequent resort to the language of war. This article does not seek to defend Latour’s politics or rhetoric, but to provide a corrective by incorporating, rather than taking distance from, his use of militaristic language. Doing so reveals an understanding of Latour’s project as having always been—if not traditionally Left—charting a different Leftist approach.
虽然关于拉图尔的政治和军国主义语言的使用已经写了很多,但通过关注拉图尔一些鲜为人知或读过的作品,他在传统的左右光谱中的政治位置变得更加明显,这也是他经常诉诸战争语言的原因。这篇文章并不是试图为拉图尔的政治或修辞辩护,而是通过将他对军国主义语言的使用纳入其中,而不是与之保持距离,来提供纠正。这样做揭示了对拉图尔的计划的理解——如果不是传统意义上的左翼——一直在绘制一种不同的左翼方法。

How Do Technological Systems Define Who War Victims Are? 技术系统如何定义谁是战争受害者?
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00586
María Belén Albornoz, J. A. J. Becerra
Abstract In a range of peace process scenarios, the expert’s knowledge has become a fundamental tool for generating information systems as a mechanism for the storage and circulation of data. These information artifacts are supposed to faithfully document situations of human rights violations and contribute to the design of public policy and the construction of collective memory. Following Latour’s (1993) original coinage of the term coproduction, this paper analyzes how the Inter-Institutional System of Information for Justice and Peace (SIIJYP)1 was designed to define victims of war and means of reparation from the State in Colombia. From an actor network theory perspective, we explain how victimizers become the main beneficiaries of the application of the SIIJYP. To comprehend this unintended social impact of the technological artifact and how it becomes an artifact that functions as an aseptic mediator of the historical-judicial truth, and the policy of transitional justice, we examine the relations between human and nonhuman actors, how information is collected, organized, hierarchized, and negotiated, as well as the consequences of the technical and legal construction of the notion of victims of war.
在一系列和平进程情景中,专家的知识已成为生成信息系统的基本工具,作为数据存储和流通的机制。这些信息制品应该忠实地记录侵犯人权的情况,并有助于制定公共政策和构建集体记忆。根据Latour(1993)最初创造的术语“合作生产”,本文分析了如何设计“促进正义与和平的机构间信息系统”(SIIJYP)来定义哥伦比亚的战争受害者和国家赔偿手段。从行动者网络理论的角度,我们解释了施暴者如何成为SIIJYP应用的主要受益者。为了理解技术产物的这种意想不到的社会影响,以及它如何成为一个作为历史司法真相和过渡司法政策的无菌调解人的产物,我们研究了人类和非人类行动者之间的关系,如何收集、组织、分层和谈判信息,以及战争受害者概念的技术和法律建构的后果。

Politicizing Algorithms by Other Means: Toward Inquiries for Affective Dissensions 通过其他方式将算法政治化:对情感纠纷的询问
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_a_00582
Florian Jaton, D. Vinck
Abstract In this paper, we build upon Bruno Latour’s political writings to address the current impasse regarding algorithms in public life. We assert that the increasing difficulties at governing algorithms—be they qualified as “machine learning,” “big data,” or “artificial intelligence”—can be related to their current ontological thinness: deriving from constricted views on theoretical practices, algorithms’ standard definition as problem-solving computerized methods provides poor grips for affective dissensions. We then emphasize on the role historical and ethnographic studies of algorithms can potentially play in the politicization of algorithms. By both digging into the genealogy of algorithms’ constricted definition and by making their contemporary constitutive relationships more visible, both historical and ethnographic studies can contribute to vascularizing algorithms and making them objects of enlarged disputes.

在本文中,我们以布鲁诺·拉图尔的政治著作为基础,解决当前公共生活中关于算法的僵局。我们断言,管理算法的难度越来越大——无论它们被称为“机器学习”、“大数据”还是“人工智能”——可能与它们目前的本体论单薄有关:源自对理论实践的狭隘看法,算法的标准定义是解决问题的计算机化方法,对情感纠纷的把握很差。然后,我们强调算法的历史和民族志研究在算法政治化中可能发挥的作用。通过挖掘算法狭隘定义的谱系,并使它们的当代构成关系更加明显,历史和民族志研究都可以为算法的血管化做出贡献,并使它们成为扩大争议的对象。最后,我们利用在计算机科学实验室进行的人种学研究的材料,对我们所呼吁的血管化努力的政治潜力进行了一番探讨。

Introduction: Science Is Politics By Other Means Revisited 引言:科学是政治的另一种形式
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-12-14 DOI: 10.1162/posc_e_00578
È. Seguin, D. Vinck
Abstract In the past forty years, Bruno Latour’s claim that Science Is Politics By Other Means (SIPBOM) has been the underlying creed of Science and Technology Studies (STS), most of us simply taking it for granted. In contrast, this special issue is predicated on the observation of an enduring lack of exegesis of this catchphrase so remarkable that is has caused an outcry among natural scientists, echoed in some social science quarters. If SIPBOM has been a resource for decades, by turning it into a topic this special issue revisits one of the most exciting and challenging insights of contemporary thought.
在过去的四十年里,布鲁诺·拉图尔的“科学是政治的另一种方式”(SIPBOM)一直是科学技术研究(STS)的基本信条,我们大多数人只是认为它是理所当然的。相比之下,这期特刊是基于对这一引人注目的口号长期缺乏注释的观察,这一口号在自然科学家中引起了强烈抗议,在一些社会科学领域也得到了回应。如果SIPBOM几十年来一直是一种资源,那么通过将其变成一个主题,本期特刊重新审视了当代思想中最令人兴奋和最具挑战性的见解之一。
