本文讨论了当地居民如何为可燃垃圾堆放场火灾的科学评估知识建设做出贡献。基于主要来自社会世界理论的分析概念以及行动者网络理论的一些概念,该分析显示了生活在垃圾场附近的一些居民如何发起异议和一些科学争议,他们被证明是优秀的网络建设者,并与媒体和独立科学家建立了许多联盟,从而质疑当局及其专家的合法性。此外,情境分析还确定了少数人(不是很有组织性)如何利用他们的综合资源和强大的联盟建设能力就科学问题展开辩论,从而证明在某些情况下不需要更高级别的组织。
This article discusses how residents in a local area contributed to the construction of knowledge in regard to scientific assessments in relation to a fire in a storage dump of burnable waste. Building on analytical concepts primarily from Social Worlds theory as well as some concepts from Actor–Network Theory, the analysis shows how dissent and a number of scientific controversies were initiated by some residents living nearby the waste dump who proved to be excellent network builders and who built a number of alliances with media and independent scientists, thus questioning the authorities’ and their experts’ legitimacy. Furthermore, the situated analysis identifies how a few persons—not very organized—were able to create a debate about scientific matters using their combined resources and strong alliance-building abilities, thus proving that in some cases there is no need for a higher level of organization.
