最近对掺假牛肉的恐慌导致美国联邦政府制定了所谓的“基于风险，基于科学”的食品安全方法。美国农业部没有让联邦检查人员监控尸体上的微生物污染，而是实施了一种名为HACCP的系统，要求企业监管自己的生产过程。HACCP是一种审计事件，是国家机关广泛采用的一种新的管理方法。本文认为，尽管“下水道国家”试图通过消除污染来建立对政府的信任，但基于审计的系统却自相矛盾地通过强调污染泛滥和污染猖獗的“蛮荒地带”来制造焦虑。
Abstract Recent panics over adulterated beef have led the US federal government to institute what it calls a ‘risk-based, science-based’ approach to food safety. Rather than having federal inspectors monitoring carcasses for microbial contamination, the USDA has implemented a system known as HACCP that asks firms to regulate their own production processes. HACCP is an incidence of audit, a new method of governmentality widely used by state agencies. This paper argues that although ‘sewer states’ try to create trust in government by eliminating contamination, audit-based systems paradoxically create anxiety by highlighting overflows of filth and ‘zones of wildness’ where contamination is rampant.
