Abstract This article argues that the Cold War-era battle between information and uncertainty is a critical origin point for contemporary social theory-informed, dataintensive projects of the US national security state. Beginning in the 1950s, international relations experts and government officials turned to digital computing to help make decisions under the unavoidable pressures of geopolitical uncertainty. By the 1970s, their data banks of political knowledge and novel statistical tools purported to forecast political unrest long before an unaided human could. These efforts sparked a new epistemology of political knowledge, one that is now common in data science, in which designers and users prioritize correlation over causality and the instrumental management of problems over scholarly understanding or explanation. Far from a historical curiosity, this history is a warning. The sensibilities of Cold War technopolitical projects are continually rematerialized in contemporary computational security projects. Left unchallenged, their durability will continue to increase in tandem with the national security state's continued investment in computational social scientific projects for geopolitical management.
摘要本文认为,冷战时期的信息与不确定性之间的斗争是当代美国国家安全国家的社会理论信息和数据密集型项目的关键起源点。从20世纪50年代开始,国际关系专家和政府官员转向数字计算,以帮助在地缘政治不确定性的不可避免的压力下做出决策。到20世纪70年代,他们的政治知识数据库和新颖的统计工具声称,在没有帮助的人类预测政治动荡之前,他们就能预测政治动荡。这些努力引发了一种新的政治知识认识论,这种认识论现在在数据科学中很常见,在这种认识论中,设计师和用户优先考虑相关性而不是因果关系,优先考虑问题的工具管理而不是学术理解或解释。这段历史绝不是历史珍品,而是一个警告。冷战时期技术政治项目的敏感性在当代计算安全项目中不断重现。如果不受到挑战,随着国家安全部门对地缘政治管理的计算社会科学项目的持续投资,它们的耐用性将继续增加。

Imaginary of Behavioral Governing 行为控制的想象

Abstract The article introduces the concept of the imaginary of behavioral governing to capture the view on the role of behavioral research in governing behavior that is widely shared in the academic and public discussions about behavioral policy (nudging), including the recent debates about reliance on big data and algorithms to influence people's behavior. It is believed that behavioral science provides knowledge of stable regularities of behavior and of the cognitive processes that lead to them, and that policymakers/governments act upon this knowledge to change behavior of individuals. I argue that this set of claims about the knowledge provided by the behavioral sciences is not substantiated in behavioral research. The formal theoretical frameworks of behavioral science come to be interpreted—via the imaginary of behavioral governing—as relating to human agents that power can act upon. I reflect on the possible point of entry for critique of this imaginary and its effects.
本文引入了行为治理想象的概念,以捕捉行为研究在行为治理中的作用的观点,这一观点在学术界和公众关于行为政策(助推)的讨论中广泛共享,包括最近关于依赖大数据和算法来影响人们行为的争论。人们认为,行为科学提供了行为的稳定规律和导致行为的认知过程的知识,决策者/政府根据这些知识采取行动来改变个人的行为。我认为这一系列关于行为科学提供的知识的主张并没有在行为研究中得到证实。行为科学的正式理论框架——通过行为治理的想象——被解释为与权力可以作用的人类代理人有关。我思考对这种想象及其影响进行批判的可能切入点。

Biden Hears a WHO 拜登听取世界卫生组织讲话

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO), the body charged with implementing global pandemic response, figured heavily in the Republican and Democratic campaigns of the 2020 US presidential election. The contrast was stark: Donald Trump drew on and ramped up dissatisfaction with the United Nations system in general and the WHO in particular, culminating in his decision to pull the US out of the WHO in the middle of the pandemic, while Joe Biden rescinded the decision to leave the WHO the day after assuming the presidency. Despite this difference, neither party heeded renewed calls during COVID to put health justice and primary healthcare at the heart of global health policy. Both parties continued to prefer private philanthropic sources of funding for global vaccine initiatives, and both sought economic returns on vaccine development, potentially missing a rare opportunity to incorporate global health justice into US global health diplomacy.
世界卫生组织(WHO)是负责实施全球流行病应对的机构,在2020年美国总统大选的共和党和民主党竞选活动中发挥了重要作用。对比鲜明:唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)利用并加剧了对整个联合国系统,尤其是世卫组织的不满,最终在疫情期间决定让美国退出世卫组织,而乔·拜登(Joe Biden)在担任总统的第二天就撤销了退出世卫组织的决定。尽管存在这种差异,但双方都没有在COVID期间再次呼吁将卫生正义和初级卫生保健置于全球卫生政策的核心。双方继续倾向于为全球疫苗倡议提供私人慈善资金来源,双方都寻求疫苗开发的经济回报,这可能会错过将全球卫生正义纳入美国全球卫生外交的难得机会。

Counting the Dead in Nursing Homes during the COVID-19 Pandemic 统计COVID-19大流行期间养老院的死亡人数

Abstract This article analyzes the genesis and consolidation of the “statistical argument” (Desrosières 2008) of mortality during the pandemic. Public health data are approached from the perspective of “biopower” which can be read as a statization of life, combining the power of both science and the state. The authors explore the social conditions of the production and dissemination of mortality data in French nursing homes in a period of strong uncertainty. The web of interactions between agencies of public health generates vagueness and uncertainty, but also weak and fragile data, in a period nevertheless marked by the centralization of power. The fragility of mortality data is mirrored by the fragility of the nursing home as institution—an expression of numerous fallibilities, in particular economic (lack of resources), symbolic (out-of-sight situations) and institutional (tension between health and social care).
本文分析了大流行期间死亡率的“统计论据”(desrosi, 2008)的起源和巩固。公共卫生数据是从“生物权力”的角度来看待的,它可以被理解为一种生命的静态化,结合了科学和国家的力量。作者探讨的生产和死亡率数据的传播在法国养老院在一个时期的强烈不确定性的社会条件。在一个以权力集中为标志的时期,公共卫生机构之间的互动网络产生了模糊和不确定性,但也产生了薄弱和脆弱的数据。死亡率数据的脆弱性反映在养老院作为一个机构的脆弱性上——它表达了许多不可靠之处,尤其是经济上的(缺乏资源)、象征上的(视线之外的情况)和制度上的(健康和社会护理之间的紧张关系)。

The Morality of Investment 投资的道德
2区 社会学 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-11-02 DOI: 10.1215/08992363-10742565

Abstract This article details how the influence of financial investment on insurance has produced a morality discourse that provides new insights on a social theory of stigma. Specifically, it examines the Insurance Development Forum (IDF) and the role morality plays in its commitments to climate governance. Initially conceived by political leaders advising on disaster risk reduction at a 2013 UN General Assembly meeting, the IDF recognizes financial institutions, practices, and devices as integral to addressing climate change. Through its activities and investments in an open-access database, insurance has come to shape material claims about the reputational status of people, things, natures, and places. At the heart of the article's analysis is the observation that the organizational structure of the IDF depends on the efficient flow of information to manage the stigma often associated with finance capitalism.
本文详细介绍了金融投资对保险的影响如何产生了一种道德话语,为耻辱的社会理论提供了新的见解。具体而言,它考察了保险发展论坛(IDF)以及道德在其气候治理承诺中发挥的作用。IDF最初是由政治领导人在2013年联合国大会会议上就减少灾害风险提出建议的,它承认金融机构、实践和设备是应对气候变化不可或缺的组成部分。通过其在开放访问数据库中的活动和投资,保险业已经开始形成关于人、物、自然和地方的声誉地位的物质索赔。文章分析的核心是观察到IDF的组织结构依赖于有效的信息流动来管理通常与金融资本主义相关的污名。

From Thin to Thick 从薄到厚
2区 社会学 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-11-02 DOI: 10.1215/08992363-10742593

This article argues that contemporary research practices in artificial intelligence will produce AI technologies incompatible with human flourishing, social complexity, or vibrant politics. Adopting James Scott's anarchist squint, it instead proposes a vision of AI that embraces local vernaculars, the multiplicity of objectives, the responsibilities that come with producing persons, and the potential of instigating rather than circumventing political contestation. To clarify the stakes, it draws on the key evolutionary idea of niche construction, contrasting the thin, universalizing, top-down construction characteristic of contemporary AI with thick, local, and contested co-construction. It also introduces the idea of semantic power, showing how AI's ability to impose objective functions on the world shapes our very categories of meaning. Finally, it calls for a new social science of possible worlds, outlining strategies for rigorous exploration of the imaginal world where unrealized but possible social arrangements reside.
本文认为,当代人工智能的研究实践将产生与人类繁荣、社会复杂性或充满活力的政治不相容的人工智能技术。采用詹姆斯·斯科特(James Scott)的无政府主义观点,它提出了一种人工智能的愿景,包括当地方言、目标的多样性、生产人员的责任,以及煽动而不是规避政治争论的潜力。为了澄清利害关系,它借鉴了生态位构建的关键进化思想,将当代人工智能的薄、普遍、自上而下的构建特征与厚、局部、有争议的共同构建进行了对比。它还引入了语义力量的概念,展示了人工智能将客观功能强加于世界的能力如何塑造了我们的意义类别。最后,它呼吁建立一种新的可能世界的社会科学,概述了对想象世界进行严格探索的策略,在想象世界中,未实现但可能的社会安排存在。

On the Systematic and Historical Analysis of Concessionary Zones 试论租界的系统历史分析

Abstract Recent scholarship has emphasized the importance of extractive zones and enclaves in contemporary capitalism. This article seeks to understand the form of authority within these zones. To do so, it charts a brief genealogy of the concession, the reciprocal agreements entered into by states and companies that govern many extractive enclaves. Because concessions have a long, convoluted, and underexamined history, they are an ideal object for examining the shifting configurations of law, sovereignty, property, and government that undergird contemporary extraction. Neither simply public law nor private right, concessions are a unique legal form designed to produce nonsystematic and exceptional legal spaces that remain central to capitalist societies today.
最近的学术研究强调了采掘地带和飞地在当代资本主义中的重要性。本文试图理解这些区域内的权威形式。为了做到这一点,它绘制了一个简短的特许谱系图,即管理许多采掘飞地的国家和公司签订的互惠协议。由于租界有一段漫长、曲折且未被充分研究的历史,它们是研究当代榨取基础上的法律、主权、财产和政府结构变化的理想对象。特许权既不是简单的公法,也不是私人权利,它是一种独特的法律形式,旨在产生非系统的、特殊的法律空间,这些空间在今天的资本主义社会中仍然是核心。

Abstract Although the imperial ship has been a key location through which to theorize colonialism and the origins of racial capitalism, little research exists on the postcolonial ship as an analytical indicator for the persistence and distinctiveness of contemporary racial capitalism. This article explores a largely uncharted territory through a critical appraisal of postwar Greek-owned shipping. Greece's dominant place in global shipping offers an illuminating and yet understudied entry point to political economies of neocolonial / racial capitalism at sea. The first part of this brief intervention invokes the Greek-owned tanker in threefold ways: as a geopolitical actor in response to the decolonization of maritime energy routes and to worldmaking at and through the sea; as a floating financial device that produces deterritorialized hierarchies of global space through processes of flagging-out and offshoring; and as a physical site where structures of racial capitalism, mainly in terms of labor, proliferate. The second part of the article discusses certain forms of community waters’ defense as a possible path toward decolonization and Indigenous efforts to “take sea back.”
虽然帝国船只一直是理论化殖民主义和种族资本主义起源的关键地点,但很少有研究将后殖民船只作为当代种族资本主义持续存在和独特性的分析指标。本文通过对战后希腊航运的批判性评价,探索了一个很大程度上未知的领域。希腊在全球航运业中的主导地位为海上新殖民主义/种族资本主义的政治经济学提供了一个启发性的、但尚未得到充分研究的切入点。这一短暂干预的第一部分以三种方式调用希腊拥有的油轮:作为回应海上能源路线非殖民化和在海上和通过海上制造世界的地缘政治行动者;作为一种浮动的金融工具,通过下线和离岸过程产生全球空间的非地域性等级;作为一个实体场所,种族资本主义的结构,主要是在劳动力方面,激增。文章的第二部分讨论了社区水域防御的某些形式,作为非殖民化和土著努力“收回海洋”的可能途径。
