本文重点介绍了新兴的应用遗传技术在畜牧业,研究这些是如何改变畜牧养殖知识的做法和动物生活的代表。传统的牲畜育种依赖于对动物的视觉评估和维护性能记录,而遗传和基因组技术提供了评估动物基因型特定方面的潜力。由参与开发遗传技术的组织制作的广告和宣传材料,以及农业媒体中对此类技术的报道和讨论,被用来研究未来生物体的生产和价值在新兴的知识实践网络中被绘制出来的方式,这些网络围绕着牲畜体是什么和应该做什么或应该做什么的特定愿景和表现。本文认为,机构应部分理解的更广泛的空间关系,他们纠缠。“循环参照”的过程[拉图尔,B.,1999.潘多拉的希望:科学研究的现实论文。哈佛大学出版社,剑桥,MA],其中简化轮发生与家畜动物的遗传品质的表示有关。然而,当牲畜育种者试图利用遗传知识-实践时,这些简化的尝试产生了新的复杂性。识别不同的模式的复杂性,本文讨论了它们的空间性之间的差异,从动物的身体和育种家的多层次的“奠定”他们的牲畜动物的知识的遗传抽象。
This paper focuses on the burgeoning application of genetic techniques in livestock agriculture, examining how these are changing livestock breeding knowledge-practices and the representation of animal life. Conventional livestock breeding relies on visual appraisal of animals and maintaining performance records, whereas genetic and genomic techniques offer the potential to assess particular aspects of animals’ genotypes. Advertising and promotional material produced by organisations involved in developing genetic techniques, and reportage and discussion of such techniques in the agricultural media, are used to examine the ways in which the production and value of living bodies in the future is being mapped out in emerging knowledge-practice networks which centre around particular visions and representations of what livestock bodies are and should do or be. The paper argues that bodies should be understood in part in terms of the wider spatial relationships in which they are entangled. A process of’circulating reference’ [Latour, B., 1999. Pandora’s Hope: Essays on the Reality of Science Studies. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA] is identified in which rounds of simplification occur in relation to the representation of the genetic qualities of livestock animals. However, these attempts to simplify produce new complexities when livestock breeders attempt to make use of genetic knowledge-practices. Identifying different modes of complexity, the paper discusses their spatiality in terms of differences between genetic abstractions from animal bodies and breeders ‘multi-layered ‘lay’ knowledges of their livestock animals.
