摘要

本文探讨了基础设施意识形态如何在世界大国之间的依赖和独立的地缘政治斗争中作为工具发挥作用。Meese等人(2020)认为,围绕5G的争议源于地缘政治框架下最好的基础设施焦虑。我们在这项工作的基础上,根据不断变化的全球分工,分析了5G的新兴基础设施意识形态和社会技术想象(Jasanoff和Kim, 2015)。社会技术想象指的是技术本身的愿景,而意识形态指的是社会关系的整体,将物质条件的客观现实转化为主观的生活经验(Bory, 2020)。西方对5G基础设施的想象反映、转移、转化和升华了与中国作为新兴霸主开发和部署新网络范式相关的基础设施焦虑。5G的争议性、矛盾的内容和碎片化的呈现,是西方超级大国失去历史主体的创伤中生活的必要组成部分。我们从事GSM、互联网和5G技术的代码人种志(Rosa, 2022),并参与观察互联网和5G的主要标准制定组织。我们的方法论假设来自世界体系理论(Wallerstein, 2004),即想象的特征和内容及其基础意识形态创造性地翻译了行动者在全球劳动分工中的地位。本文有助于理解媒体基础设施在地缘政治权力斗争中的作用,并跨越了唯物主义媒体研究、科学技术研究和国际关系领域。

Geopolitics in the infrastructural ideology of 5G
This paper explores how infrastructural ideologies function as tools in geopolitical struggles for dependence and independence between world powers. Meese et al. (2020) suggest that controversies around 5G stem from infrastructural anxieties best examined in the framework of geopolitics. We build on this work by analysing the emerging infrastructural ideology and sociotechnical imaginaries (Jasanoff and Kim, 2015) of 5G in light of the changing global division of labour. Sociotechnical imaginaries refer to the vision of technologies themselves, while ideologies refer to the totality of social relations, translating the objective reality of material conditions to subjective lived experience (Bory, 2020). The Western imaginaries around 5G infrastructures reflect, deflect, translate and sublimate the infrastructural anxieties tied to the development and deployment of new network paradigms by China as an emerging hegemon. The controversial nature, contradictory content and fragmented presentation of 5G is a necessary part of living through the trauma of lost historical agency on the part of Western superpowers. We engaged in code ethnography (Rosa, 2022) of GSM, internet and 5G technologies, as well as participant observation in the main standard-development organisations of the internet and 5G. Our methodological assumption, taken from world systems theory (Wallerstein, 2004), is that the character and content of imaginaries and their underpinning ideologies creatively translate the position of actors in the global division of labour. This paper contributes to the understanding of the role of media infrastructures in geopolitical power tussles and straddles the fields of materialist media studies, science and technology studies and international relations.
