As genetic knowledge continues to strengthen notions of identity in Euro-American societies and beyond, epigenetic knowledge is intervening in these legitimation frameworks. I explore these interventions in the realm of assisted reproduction—including adoption, donor conception, and gestational surrogacy. The right to identity is protected legally in many states and receives due attention in public and private international law. Originating from the context of adoption, donor-conceived and surrogacy-born persons have recently demanded the same protections and focused on the right to genetic knowledge. This article explores possible implications of epigenetic knowledge on identity. I start by articulating the deep influence of genetics on the notion of identity, and how this unfolds in legal contexts. Next, I examine how epigenetic findings that stress the importance of seeing biological life as situated and embedded in environments can challenge how adoption, donor conception, and gestational surrogacy are experienced and understood. While I argue that epigenetic knowledge can reify identity with the same determinism underpinning genetics, it can also allow for more biosocial understandings of identity that consider history and experience as entangled with biology.
随着遗传知识继续加强欧美社会及其他地区的身份概念,表观遗传知识正在干预这些合法化框架。我在辅助生殖领域探讨了这些干预措施,包括收养、捐赠受孕和代孕。身份权在许多国家受到法律保护,并在国际公法和国际私法中得到应有的重视。从收养的角度出发,捐助者怀孕和代孕出生的人最近要求同样的保护,并侧重于遗传知识的权利。本文探讨了表观遗传知识对身份的可能影响。我首先阐述了遗传学对身份概念的深刻影响,以及这在法律背景下是如何展开的。接下来,我研究了表观遗传学的发现,这些发现强调了将生物生命置于环境中并嵌入环境的重要性,这些发现如何挑战人们对收养、供体受孕和妊娠代孕的体验和理解。虽然我认为表观遗传学知识可以用支撑遗传学的同样的决定论来具体化身份,但它也可以允许更多的生物社会对身份的理解,将历史和经历与生物学纠缠在一起。

“Samples Are Precious”: Value Formations in the Potentiality and Practices of Biobanking in Singapore “样本是宝贵的”:新加坡生物银行潜力和实践中的价值形成

Biobanking in Singapore is characterized by contested relations between funding ambitions and research practices, and different notions of what the (potential) value of storing samples and data for medical research is. Different biobanking efforts anticipate the production of public goods from stored materials in specifically situated ways. These efforts to produce public goods in the form of scientific and economic value can be fruitfully understood in terms of extraction, a complex sociotechnical process of retrieving (potential) value from raw materials, which both informs and is informed by specific social values. In exploring the extraction of potential value in relation to practice values, I propose the notion of value formations to account for the coproduction of and intersections between different forms of value(s) in scientific practices situated in particular social contexts. I trace value formations across the life span of biobanking collections, which range from recruitment, collection, and processing of samples to their storage, retrieval, and use. Observations along this life span show the social and temporal complexity of value-making in biobanking in Singapore, pointing to the contextual specificity of how biobanking is understood as a public good.
新加坡生物银行的特点是,资助目标与研究实践之间的关系存在争议,对储存样本和数据用于医学研究的(潜在)价值有不同的看法。不同的生物银行计划以特定的方式从储存的材料中生产公共产品。这些以科学和经济价值的形式生产公共产品的努力可以从提取的角度得到有效的理解,这是一个从原材料中提取(潜在)价值的复杂社会技术过程,它既通知了特定的社会价值,也被特定的社会价值所通知。在探索与实践价值相关的潜在价值的提取时,我提出了价值形成的概念,以解释在特定社会背景下的科学实践中不同形式的价值的共同产生和交集。我跟踪整个生命周期的生物库收集的价值形成,其范围从招募,收集和处理样品的存储,检索和使用。沿着这一生命周期的观察显示了新加坡生物银行价值创造的社会和时间复杂性,指出了生物银行如何被理解为公共产品的上下文特异性。

An Interpretation of Value Change: A Philosophical Disquisition of Climate Change and Energy Transition Debate 价值变化的阐释:气候变化与能源转型辩论的哲学研究

Changing values may give rise to intergenerational conflicts, like in the ongoing climate change and energy transition debate. This essay focuses on the interpretative question of how this value change can best be understood. To elucidate the interpretation of value change, two philosophical perspectives on value are introduced: Berlin’s value pluralism and Dworkin’s interpretivism. While both authors do not explicitly discuss value change, I argue that their perspectives can be used for interpreting value change in the case of climate change and the energy transition. I claim that Berlin’s pluralistic account of value would understand the value change as an intergenerational conflict and therefore provide a too narrow and static ground for understanding ongoing value change. Instead, by exploring Dworkin’s standpoint in moral epistemology, this essay distills a more encompassing perspective on how values may relate, converge, overlap, and change, fulfilling their functions in the course of climate change and energy transition. This perspective is further detailed by taking inspiration from Shue’s work on the (re)interpretation of equity in the climate change debate. I argue that the resulting perspective allows us to see value change as a gradual process rather than as a clash between generations and their values.
价值观的变化可能会引发代际冲突,就像正在进行的气候变化和能源转型辩论一样。本文关注的是如何最好地理解这种价值变化的解释性问题。为了阐明价值变化的解释,本文介绍了柏林的价值多元主义和德沃金的解释主义两种哲学价值观。虽然两位作者都没有明确讨论价值变化,但我认为他们的观点可以用于解释气候变化和能源转型情况下的价值变化。我认为,柏林对价值的多元解释将把价值变化理解为代际冲突,因此为理解持续的价值变化提供了一个过于狭隘和静态的基础。相反,通过探索德沃金在道德认识论方面的立场,本文提炼出一个更全面的观点,即价值观如何在气候变化和能源转型的过程中相互联系、融合、重叠和变化,履行其职能。这一观点得到了舒的启发,她在气候变化辩论中对公平进行了(重新)解释。我认为,由此产生的观点使我们能够将价值观的变化视为一个渐进的过程,而不是几代人之间及其价值观的冲突。

Diversifying the Deliberative Turn: Toward an Agonistic RRI 多元化的审议转向:走向一种竞争的RRI

In its “deliberative turn,” the field of science and technology studies (STS) has strongly advocated opening up decision-making processes around science and technology to more perspectives and knowledges. While the theory of democracy underpinning this is rarely explicitly addressed, the language and ideas used are often drawn from deliberative democracy. Using the case of synthetic biology and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), this paper looks at challenges of public engagement and finds parallels in long-standing critiques of deliberative democracy. The paper suggests that STS scholars explore other theories of decision-making and explores what an RRI grounded in agonistic pluralism might entail. An agonistic RRI could develop empirical research around questions of power relations in contemporary science and technology, seek to facilitate the formation of political publics around relevant issues, and frame different actors’ stances as adversarial positions on a political field rather than “equally valid” perspectives.
在其“审议转向”中,科学技术研究领域(STS)强烈主张向更多的观点和知识开放围绕科学技术的决策过程。虽然支持这一点的民主理论很少被明确提及,但所使用的语言和思想往往来自协商民主。本文以合成生物学和负责任的研究与创新(RRI)为例,探讨了公众参与的挑战,并在长期以来对协商民主的批评中找到了相似之处。本文建议STS学者探索其他决策理论,并探讨基于竞争多元主义的RRI可能带来的影响。对抗型RRI可以围绕当代科学和技术中的权力关系问题开展实证研究,寻求促进围绕相关问题形成政治公众,并将不同行为者的立场框架为政治领域中的对抗立场,而不是“同等有效”的观点。

Artificial Intelligence from Colonial India: Race, Statistics, and Facial Recognition in the Global South 来自殖民印度的人工智能:全球南方的种族、统计和面部识别

This article examines the history of a similarity measure—the Mahalanobis Distance Function—and its movement from colonial India into contemporary artificial intelligence technologies, including facial recognition, and its reapplication into postcolonial India. The article identifies how the creation of the Distance Function was connected to the colonial “problem” of caste and ethnic classification for British bureaucracy in 1920-1930s India. This article demonstrates that the Distance Function is a statistical method, originating to make anthropometric caste distinctions in India, that became both a technical standard and a mobile racialized technique, utilized in machine learning applications. The creation of the Distance Function as a measure of “similitude” at a particular period of colonial state-making helped to model wider categories of classification which have proliferated in facial recognition technology. Overall, we highlight how a measurement function that operates in recognition technologies today can be traced across time and space to other racialized contexts.
本文考察了一种相似度量——马氏距离函数——的历史,以及它从殖民时期的印度向当代人工智能技术(包括面部识别)的转变,以及它在后殖民时期的印度的重新应用。这篇文章指出了距离函数的创建是如何与20世纪20- 30年代英国官僚机构的种姓和种族分类的殖民“问题”联系在一起的。本文表明,距离函数是一种统计方法,起源于印度的人体测量种姓区分,它成为一种技术标准和移动种族化技术,用于机器学习应用。在殖民国家建立的特定时期,创建距离函数作为“相似性”的衡量标准,有助于为面部识别技术中激增的更广泛的分类类别建模。总体而言,我们强调了当今识别技术中运行的测量函数如何跨越时间和空间追溯到其他种族化背景。

The Politics of Postgenomic Reproduction: Exploring Pregnant Narratives from within a Clinical Trial 后基因组生殖的政治:从临床试验中探索怀孕的叙述

There are more large-scale pregnancy trials that implement lifestyle interventions than ever before; yet, there is a dearth of information on pregnant peoples’ experiences in such trials. Contemporary lifestyle pregnancy trials draw on epigenetics and DOHaD research to design and justify prenatal interventions on the material environment to reduce health risks in future generations. This article draws on ethnographic data from a prenatal trial in the United Kingdom and focuses specifically on the experiences of pregnant participants during the intervention phase. In this article, I develop the politics of postgenomic reproduction as a feminist and critical race framework to examine the complex and mercurial stakes of contemporary pregnancy trials. I argue that narratives of control and responsibility in epigenetic models are echoed and preceded by participants’ own embodied experience. The pregnant narratives show at once how their bodies are exposed to unpredictable and uncontrollable environmental exposures and that they are required to respond as if they have absolute control and responsibility. Attending to trial participants’ narratives from a feminist and critical race framework reveals how individualized lifestyle interventions are deeply political and racial, and carry implications for how pregnancy trials influence postgenomic reproduction.
实施生活方式干预的大规模妊娠试验比以往任何时候都多;然而,关于孕妇在此类试验中的经历的信息缺乏。当代生活方式怀孕试验利用表观遗传学和DOHaD研究来设计和证明对物质环境的产前干预措施,以减少后代的健康风险。本文借鉴了英国一项产前试验的人种学数据,特别关注了干预阶段怀孕参与者的经历。在这篇文章中,我将后基因组生殖政治发展为一个女权主义和批判性的种族框架,以审视当代怀孕试验的复杂和反复无常的利害关系。我认为,在表观遗传模型中,控制和责任的叙述是由参与者自己的具体化经验所呼应和先于的。怀孕的叙述立刻展示了她们的身体是如何暴露在不可预测和无法控制的环境中,她们被要求做出反应,好像她们有绝对的控制权和责任。从女权主义和批判种族的框架来看试验参与者的叙述,揭示了个性化的生活方式干预是如何深刻地具有政治和种族色彩的,并对怀孕试验如何影响后基因组生殖产生了影响。

In view of persistent global inequalities in scientific knowledge production with clear centers and peripheries, this paper examines a lingering concern for many scientists in the Global South: why is it, at times, so hard to have scientific insights from the South recognized? This paper addresses this big question from within a long-term field immersion in a Ugandan–Australian scientific collaboration in molecular biology. I show how disciplinary hierarchies of value affect the distribution of labor between Uganda and Australia and thematize the role of place and its affective atmospheres that texture the quotidian scientific work in this project. Unsurprisingly, they tend to devalue Ugandan sites and contributions, and turn Uganda into a rather unlikely site for new insights to emerge. However, in spite of doing devalued and outsourced “menial” labor such as fieldwork, Ugandan biologists’ fieldwork involves affective encounters with their experimental banana plants that thereby become differently thinkable. The paper argues that attending to affective atmospheres that infuse research sites offers clues about scientists’ position in global hierarchies and at the same time can help make room for insights that emanate from unexpected places.
鉴于科学知识生产中具有明确中心和边缘的全球不平等现象持续存在,本文探讨了全球南方许多科学家挥之不去的一个问题:为什么有时很难让来自南方的科学见解得到认可?这篇论文从乌干达和澳大利亚分子生物学科学合作的长期实地考察中解决了这个大问题。我展示了价值的学科等级如何影响乌干达和澳大利亚之间的劳动力分配,并将地方的作用及其情感氛围主题化,这些氛围在这个项目中构成了日常的科学工作。不出所料,他们倾向于贬低乌干达的网站和贡献,并把乌干达变成一个不太可能出现新见解的网站。然而,尽管乌干达生物学家做的是贬值和外包的“卑微”劳动,如田野调查,但他们的田野调查涉及到与他们的实验香蕉植物的情感接触,从而变得不同。这篇论文认为,关注注入研究地点的情感氛围提供了关于科学家在全球层级中的地位的线索,同时可以帮助为来自意想不到的地方的见解腾出空间。

Fixing Subjects, Fixing Outcomes: Civic Epistemologies and Epistemic Agency in Participatory Governance of Climate Risk 确定主体,确定结果:气候风险参与式治理中的公民认识论和认知代理

Participatory forms of policy-making have often been criticized for insufficiently theorizing the coproduction of publics and matters of concern. This paper seeks to investigate this relationship further by analyzing how the concept of civic epistemologies (CEs) can provide insights for understanding how political contexts shape both publics and contestable debates. Presenting fieldwork on cyclone governance in Odisha, India, based on the analysis of interviews with vulnerable fishing communities and state actors, the article shows how CEs influence the interdependent formation of vulnerable fisher and state subjectivities on one hand with representations of risk located in external biophysical atmospheric gases on the other, thereby sustaining reductive roles and futures. At the same time, the paper develops the concept of CEs by examining them as performative acts carried out by marginalized communities and state actors at the subnational level of a nonindustrialized country, thereby indicating sites at which epistemic agency can be increased and governed. Participatory knowledge production needs to understand how it is affected by CEs if it is to generate effective expertise for transformative futures in the face of increasing climatic risks.
参与形式的政策制定经常受到批评,因为没有充分理论化公众和所关注事项的共同生产。本文试图通过分析公民认识论(CEs)的概念如何为理解政治背景如何塑造公众和可辩论的辩论提供见解,从而进一步研究这种关系。本文介绍了在印度奥里萨邦进行的气旋治理实地调查,基于对脆弱渔业社区和国家行为体的访谈分析,展示了生态系统如何一方面影响脆弱渔民和国家主体性的相互依存形成,另一方面影响外部生物物理大气气体中的风险表征,从而维持减少的作用和未来。与此同时,本文通过研究非工业化国家的边缘社区和国家行为者在次国家层面上实施的行为,从而发展了认知代理的概念,从而指出了可以增加和治理认知代理的场所。面对日益增加的气候风险,参与式知识生产如果要为变革的未来产生有效的专业知识,就需要了解它是如何受到可持续发展的影响的。

At the same time, the paper develops the concept of CEs by examining them as performative acts carried out by marginalized communities and state actors at the subnational level of a nonindustrialized country, thereby indicating sites at which epistemic agency can be increased and governed. Participatory knowledge production needs to understand how it is affected by CEs if it is to generate effective expertise for transformative futures in the face of increasing climatic risks.","PeriodicalId":48083,"journal":{"name":"Science Technology & Human Values","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91210369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Afterword: Shifting the Terms of the Debate 后记:改变辩论的条件

The afterword discusses how this special issue’s articles work from different angles to unsettle the precepts of “attentional sovereignty” — the socially, politically, and economically valorized virtue that anchors most discussions over attention in its contemporary technological predicament. Whether the attentional sovereign appears in its liberal humanist or its neoliberal behavioral economic guise, sovereignty is valorized and considered under threat. By revealing the contemporary and historical backstories to our investment in this notion, these articles shift the terms of the debate around the attention crisis and clear space for thinking anew about the possibilities and limits of attention today.
后记讨论了本期特刊的文章如何从不同的角度来动摇“注意力主权”的原则——在当代技术困境中,这种社会、政治和经济上被珍视的美德锚定了大多数关于注意力的讨论。无论注意力主权以自由主义的人道主义还是以新自由主义的行为经济为幌子出现,主权都是被珍视的,并被认为受到了威胁。通过揭示我们对这一概念的投资的当代和历史背景,这些文章改变了围绕注意力危机的辩论的条款,并为重新思考今天注意力的可能性和局限性提供了空间。
