Building regulations set standards that aim to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions, and thereby to support the development of a more sustainable building stock. The Norwegian government uses building regulations to influence the construction industry, and they directly affect how craftspeople from the industry apply their skills. Regulations are converging with understandings about sustainability, energy use, building materials, and comfort requirements that are circulating in society. In this paper, we investigate the negotiations between the meaning and value associated with the requirements for the material structure and the craftsperson’s role. Two houses in Central Norway are the starting point, where qualitative methods, primarily semi-structured interviews and observation, are used to gain insight into the craftsperson’s view of the Norwegian building regulations. The two houses represent two different building standards. A Passive House in Afjord Municipality, completed in 2014, and ZEB Living Lab in Trondheim, a zero emission building (ZEB), completed in 2015. In Norway, the building regulations are reviewed every five years. In 2011, craftspeople were constructing buildings to the low-energy standard. This led to an increased focus on “super insulating” building techniques during period 2013-16 when the case studies took place. Starting with a craftsperson’s (in this case most often a carpenter’s) view of current and future building standards, this paper asks what implications the increasing demands for energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings have on the role of the craftsperson and their application of skill. The paper shows that the construction industry bases much of its activity on Norwegian construction traditions and skill; and that this guides the development of new generations of buildings. The use of established skills and knowledge is both a strength and a challenge when dealing with a new set of building regulations. Skill is a resource to build upon, but it is also influenced by a conservativism that has difficulties getting beyond the extra time and costs associated with new regulations. It can therefore function as a barrier to the use of construction crafts to establish more sustainable building forms within the Norwegian market.
建筑法规制定了旨在减少能源使用和二氧化碳排放的标准,从而支持更可持续的建筑存量的发展。挪威政府利用建筑法规来影响建筑业,它们直接影响该行业的工匠如何运用他们的技能。法规与社会上流传的关于可持续性、能源使用、建筑材料和舒适度要求的理解正在融合。在本文中,我们研究了与材料结构要求相关的意义和价值与工匠角色之间的谈判。挪威中部的两栋房子是起点,在那里,定性方法,主要是半结构化的采访和观察,被用来深入了解工匠对挪威建筑法规的看法。这两栋房子代表了两种不同的建筑标准。阿峡湾市的一栋被动式住宅于2014年竣工,特隆赫姆的ZEB生活实验室是一栋零排放建筑,于2015年竣工。在挪威,建筑法规每五年审查一次。2011年,工匠们正在按照低能耗标准建造建筑。这导致在2013-16年期间,当进行案例研究时,人们越来越关注“超级隔热”建筑技术。本文从工匠(在这种情况下,通常是木匠)对当前和未来建筑标准的看法开始,询问对节能环保建筑日益增长的需求对工匠的角色及其技能应用有何影响。论文表明,建筑业的大部分活动都建立在挪威建筑传统和技能的基础上;这将指导新一代建筑的发展。在处理一套新的建筑法规时,使用既定的技能和知识既是一种优势,也是一种挑战。技能是一种可以建立的资源,但它也受到保守主义的影响,这种保守主义很难超越与新法规相关的额外时间和成本。因此,它可以成为使用建筑工艺在挪威市场内建立更可持续建筑形式的障碍。

Craftsmanship in the machine: sustainability through new roles in building craft at the technologized building site 机器中的工艺:通过在技术化建筑工地的建筑工艺中扮演新角色实现可持续性

The building industry is becoming increasingly characterized by automated production, and in line with this, the nature of craftsmanship is transforming. In this article, we look for a sustainable path for this transformation through a case study that follows a team of carpenters building a set of tower blocks at a high-tech building site using “lean” construction techniques and robotic production technology. The builders are organized according to complex schedules of lean construction, making work at the building site resemble that of a large machine. The builders hold multiple roles within this machine: more than simply “living mechanisms” inside the machine, they also take on more parental roles as “machinists,” employing their crafting skills in planning, problem solving, improvising, coordinating and fettling in order to make the building machine run smoothly and to minimize environmental uncertainty. The craftsmanship in action is characterized by what we call workmanship of uncertainty – the ability to produce certain results in uncertain conditions. We identify this as the collective skill of a community of practice. The sustainability of craftsmanship in the machine is analyzed according to three kinds of sustainability: cultural, social and ecological. We suggest that all three forms depend on the building company’s ability to provide working conditions that allow the builders to form stable communities of practice in order to perform, share and develop craftmanship. Finally, we show that working in and with technological production systems does not require fewer skills (of craftsmanship) than traditional building, but a nuanced application of these skills.
建筑业越来越具有自动化生产的特点,与此相适应,工艺的本质正在发生变化。在这篇文章中,我们通过一个案例研究来寻找这种转变的可持续路径,该案例研究跟踪了一组木匠使用“精益”施工技术和机器人生产技术在高科技建筑工地建造一组塔楼。施工人员根据复杂的精益施工时间表进行组织,使建筑工地的工作类似于大型机器。建设者在这台机器中扮演着多重角色:他们不仅仅是机器中的“活机制”,他们还扮演着更多的“机械师”角色,在计划、解决问题、即兴创作、协调和装饰方面运用他们的手工技能,以使建筑机器平稳运行,并最大限度地减少环境的不确定性。行动中的工艺特点是我们所说的不确定性工艺——在不确定的条件下产生特定结果的能力。我们认为这是一个实践社区的集体技能。根据文化、社会和生态三种可持续性来分析机器工艺的可持续性。我们建议,这三种形式都取决于建筑公司提供工作条件的能力,使建筑商能够形成稳定的实践社区,以便表演、分享和发展工艺。最后,我们表明,在技术生产系统中工作并不需要比传统建筑更少的(工艺)技能,而是对这些技能的细微应用。

Training Technologies. Science, Humans and Dogs in the Age of Positive Dog Training 培训技术。科学,人类和狗在积极的狗训练时代
Pub Date : 2017-08-10 DOI: 10.5324/NJSTS.V5I1.2251

The practices of dog training influence the lives of numerous dogs and dog owners, but have not received much academic attention in terms of empirical studies. Both humans and dogs are shaped through these practices, but as the conditions are partly determined by already established networks, it is not simply a matter of the trainer’s personal choice. In order to explore the entanglements of technology, gender, humans, and dogs in dog training practices, this article applies a material semiotic perspective inspired by John Law and Donna Haraway. Taking the changes towards "positive training" and the technology of clicker training as its point of departure, the article explores the emergence and effects of different training practices and the networks that provide their conditions.
训犬实践影响了许多狗和狗主人的生活,但在实证研究方面没有得到太多的学术关注。人和狗都是通过这些实践来塑造的,但由于条件在一定程度上是由已经建立的网络决定的,这不仅仅是驯兽师个人选择的问题。为了探索技术、性别、人类和狗在训犬实践中的纠缠,本文运用了约翰·劳和唐娜·哈拉韦的材料符号学视角。本文以“正向训练”的转变和点击训练技术为出发点,探讨了不同训练实践的出现及其效果,以及为其提供条件的网络。

Unsung heroes and multiple practices 无名英雄和多重实践
Pub Date : 2017-08-10 DOI: 10.5324/NJSTS.V5I1.2311

A few weeks ago, the city of Trondheim hosted the Starmus festival, an event celebrating science, the universe, life and rock music. The festival gathered an impressive collection of older white males, in the form of esteemed scientists, Nobel laureates and astronauts, with the goal of celebrating the “true heroes” of enlightened knowledge and exploration. Starmus was draped in rhetoric about brilliance, genius, excellence and courage, cultivating metaphors where scientists emerged as athlete-rockstar-superheroes faced with the messianic challenge of educating the ignorant masses of lay-people through the gospel of capital “S” science in singular form. Stephen Hawking was the festival headliner, but could not attend due to health issues. Nevertheless, the moment of peak-festival for many was when Mr. Hawking over video-link declared that humanity has no more than 100 years left before we need to evacuate the planet and colonize another world to survive.
几周前,特隆赫姆市举办了Starmus音乐节,这是一个庆祝科学、宇宙、生命和摇滚音乐的活动。这个节日聚集了一群令人印象深刻的老年白人男性,以受人尊敬的科学家、诺贝尔奖获得者和宇航员的形式出现,目的是庆祝启蒙知识和探索的“真正英雄”。施塔穆斯用华丽的辞令来形容才华、天才、卓越和勇气,他还培养了一些隐喻,把科学家比喻成运动员、摇滚明星、超级英雄,他们面临着救世主般的挑战,要用独特形式的大写字母S的科学福音来教育无知的外行大众。史蒂芬·霍金是电影节的主角,但由于健康问题未能出席。然而,当霍金通过视频连线宣布,人类只有不到100年的时间需要撤离地球,去另一个世界殖民生存时,许多人都达到了高潮。

Humans, Animals and Biopolitics: The More-than-Human Condition 人类、动物和生物政治:超越人类的状况
Pub Date : 2017-08-10 DOI: 10.5324/NJSTS.V5I1.2312
David Redmalm
Edited by Kristin Asdal, Tone Druglitro and Steve Hinchliffe (Routledge, 2017) Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics captures the way a decentralized form of governing measures and mobilizes life itself through a number of technologies, such as demographics, surveillance and health initiatives, with the aim to prolong and enhance the lives of a population. According to Foucault, this biopolitical form of governing characteristic of modernity implies a detached and technical stance towards individual lives. In short, biopolitics turns individual lives into life as a mass noun. Interestingly, when human life is treated as a resource, human’s self-proclaimed position as the crown of creation is unsettled and humans find themselves part of the same biopolitical nexus as many other animals. The technologies and consequences of the biopolitization of humans and other animals is the subject of the volume Humans, Animals and Biopolitics , edited by Kristin Asdal, Tone Druglitro and Steve Hinchliffe. It is a book that should be required reading for Foucauldian theorists and human-animal studies scholars alike.
由Kristin Asdal、Tone Druglitro和Steve Hinchliffe编辑(Routledge出版社,2017年)。米歇尔·福柯的生物政治概念抓住了一种分散形式的治理措施,并通过人口统计、监测和健康倡议等多种技术动员生命本身,目的是延长和提高人口的寿命。根据福柯的说法,这种现代统治特征的生命政治形式意味着对个人生活的超然和技术立场。简而言之,生命政治把个体的生命变成了作为质量名词的生命。有趣的是,当人类的生命被视为一种资源时,人类自诩为创造之冠的地位就不稳定了,人类发现自己和许多其他动物一样,是同一生物政治关系的一部分。人类和其他动物生物政治化的技术和后果是《人类、动物和生物政治》一书的主题,该书由Kristin Asdal、Tone Druglitro和Steve Hinchliffe编辑。这本书应该是福柯理论理论家和人类-动物研究学者必读的。

A question of power: the politics of kilowatt-hours 电力问题:千瓦时的政治
Pub Date : 2017-08-10 DOI: 10.5324/NJSTS.V5I1.2249

This article builds on long-term, ongoing studies of energy efficiency governance, and reports from one recent case study of a multi-use area development combining local heating/cooling and district heating. We approach the subject matter with a particular interest for the heterogeneous substances and processes at play in realising an engineering project. With a particular focus on controversies, we analyse the achievements of energy efficient solutions as processes of transformation, translation and exchange. The study involves exploration of different energy systems. However, while isolation and infinity are natural entities in the laboratories, they are rare in the real world. The real world leaks , and we intentionally allow some leakages but not others. That is the politics of energy efficiency: in the translation processes of energy streams into classification schemes, we isolate some parts of our systems but not others; we include some energy considerations but not others. This pragmatic is a virtue of necessity, since the impossible imperative of following all energy paths in infinity would require us to constantly deal with the whole world. Power being relational, successful energy efficiency lends support from careful exploitation of processes of transformation, translation and exchange, both within and across material-technological and socio-political domains. The conclusion of our studies is twofold: First, in order to understand the phenomenon of energy efficiency one needs to understand the functioning of sociomaterial networks and analyse the sociomaterial controversies and transformation processes that takes place within them, under the imperative of the formal and often highly standardised technical system classifications. We may call this the politics of kilowatt-hours. Second, exploring new scaling philosophies and strategies require parallel, research based exploration of new energy efficiency governance principles.
本文建立在对能源效率治理的长期、持续研究的基础上,并从最近的一个将本地供暖/制冷和区域供热相结合的多用途区域开发案例研究中获得报告。我们对在实现工程项目中发挥作用的异质物质和过程特别感兴趣。特别关注争议,我们分析了节能解决方案作为转换,翻译和交流过程的成就。这项研究涉及对不同能源系统的探索。然而,尽管隔离和无限在实验室中是自然存在的,但在现实世界中却很少见。现实世界是会泄漏的,我们故意允许某些泄漏,而不允许其他泄漏。这就是能源效率的政治:在将能源流转化为分类方案的过程中,我们隔离了系统的某些部分,但不隔离其他部分;我们考虑了一些能源因素,但没有考虑其他因素。这种实用主义是一种必要的美德,因为在无限中遵循所有能量路径是不可能的,这就要求我们不断地与整个世界打交道。权力是相互关联的,成功的能源效率可以通过在物质技术和社会政治领域内部和跨领域仔细利用转型、翻译和交流过程来提供支持。我们的研究结论是双重的:首先,为了理解能源效率的现象,人们需要理解社会物质网络的功能,并分析社会物质的争议和在其中发生的转变过程,在正式和通常高度标准化的技术系统分类的要求下。我们可以称之为“千瓦时政治”。其次,探索新的规模化理念和策略需要对新的能效治理原则进行平行的、基于研究的探索。

Learning academic writing is important for communicating research and participating in scholarly debates. This learning is traditionally conceptualized through a hierarchical teacher-student relation or individual accomplishment. However, in this paper we ask how we might understand the development of academic writing skills as a collective practice within a writing community. We draw on experiences from our own departmental writing group of PhD candidates and highlight our specific peer community as a tool and the draft texts we deliver as boundary objects through which we develop and broaden our academic skills.
学习学术写作对于交流研究和参与学术辩论非常重要。传统上,这种学习是通过等级师生关系或个人成就来概念化的。然而,在这篇论文中,我们要问我们如何理解学术写作技能的发展是写作社区中的一种集体实践。我们借鉴了我们自己的博士生系写作小组的经验,并强调我们特定的同行群体是一种工具,我们提供的文本草案是我们发展和拓宽学术技能的边界对象。

2016 has been a wild year for democracy in many different locations. The situation gives room for reflection also from an STS perspective.
2016年是许多不同地区民主的疯狂之年。这种情况也为从STS的角度进行反思提供了空间。

Domesticating Homecare Services; Vehicle Route Problem Solver Displaced 家庭护理服务的本土化;车辆路线问题解决方案
Pub Date : 2016-12-29 DOI: 10.5324/NJSTS.V4I2.2184

This article presents a case study of a vehicle route problem solver in the context of homecare work. Vehicle route problem solvers are technologies that calculate geographically rational driving routes. Primarily framed as tools for financial control, they have been tested in homecare services with good results under controlled circumstances. However, they have not been studied as part of users’ everyday work after implementation. The case study shows how, through processes of domestication, the vehicle route problem solver becomes unable to provide homecare workers with ‘optimal’ driving routes. Additionally, it shows how this ‘malfunction’ renders it understood as inconsequential to the very activities it was designed to support which ultimately leads to its removal from driving route production processes. The results highlight the importance of carefully studying how vehicle route problem solvers and other technologies interact with the everyday lives of those who are meant to benefit from them.
这篇文章提出了一个案例研究的车辆路线问题解决方案在家庭护理工作的背景下。车辆路线问题解决器是计算地理上合理的行驶路线的技术。它们最初是作为财务控制的工具,在家庭护理服务中进行了测试,在可控的情况下取得了良好的效果。然而,在实施后,它们并没有作为用户日常工作的一部分进行研究。案例研究表明,通过驯化过程,车辆路线问题解决者如何变得无法为家庭护理人员提供“最佳”驾驶路线。此外,它还显示了这种“故障”如何使它被理解为对其设计支持的活动无关紧要,最终导致其从驾驶路线生产过程中移除。研究结果强调了仔细研究车辆路线问题解决器和其他技术如何与那些有意从中受益的人的日常生活相互作用的重要性。
