艾莉森凝视着一个正在解冻的肉滤器说:“我很难看清它到底是什么。”我们在本文中提出的‘它’,至少在三种意义上被有益地认为是‘管制的对象’,这三种意义一起标志着我们对福柯问题的继承和我们对它的背离。我们的建议是,即使是受到这些著作启发和启发的关于生物政治学、生物权力和生物安全的最好的作品,也复制了福柯自己为把握复杂的问题而进行的斗争,他不同地将这些事情称为“天然的”或“人工的”“吉文斯”。通过跟随科学和技术研究学者使用广泛的人种学技术来探索实践的交叉点上的对象,我们通过思考食品安全保障的实证研究-特别是艾莉森对餐厅厨房的检查,在一定程度上纠正了这种平衡。我们发现,确保肉类成为监管的重要对象,主要是通过讨论未来的多种版本来完成的,这需要大量通常被低估、被低估和理论上不够清晰的表述工作。随着英国基于风险的监管、成本分担和公共部门削减将重新定义艾莉森和她的同事与食品企业经营者打交道的方式,我们最后主张更多地欣赏处理食品安全紧张局势的熟练工作,以及认识到其局限性。
“I'm struggling to see what it actually is”, says Alison, peering into a colander of defrosting meat. What ‘it’ is, we propose in this paper, is helpfully thought of as ‘the object of regulation’ in at least three senses which together signal both our inheritance of a Foucauldian problematic and our departure from it. Our suggestion is that much of even the best work on biopolitics, biopower, and biosecurity that has been inspired and informed by these writings has replicated Foucault's own struggle to get to grips with the complexity of matters that he variously refers to as “natural” or “artificial” “givens”. By following science and technology studies scholars in using broadly ethnographic techniques to explore objects as and at the intersection of practices, we redress this balance somewhat by thinking through an empirical study of the securing of food safety—specifically Alison's inspection of a restaurant kitchen. What we find is that the securing of meat as a material object of regulation is primarily done by in-volving multiple versions of the future, something which requires a great deal of usually underrecognised, undervalued, and undertheorised articulation work. With risk-based regulation, cost sharing, and public sector cuts in the UK set to redefine the ways in which Alison and her colleagues engage with food business operators, we conclude by arguing for a greater appreciation of the skilful work of tending the tensions of food safety, as well as recognition of its limitations.
