本文借鉴了Butler的工作[Butler,J.(2005).对自己的行为作出说明。纽约:福德姆大学出版社],对透明度作为一种问责制的运作和充分性提出批评。本文首先通过拉康对承认的社会动力学的描述和弗洛伊德对内疚的描述,探索了作为主体的责任。这种分析,然后通知探索什么是被认为是我们典型的矛盾拥抱的透明度作为一种形式的问责制。本文的最后一部分探讨了一种更“智能”的问责形式的潜力,这种形式以谦卑和慷慨的伦理为基础,通过有意识地承认我永远无法完全知道我在做什么的方式而成为可能。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper draws on the work of Butler [Butler, J. (2005). Giving an account of oneself. New York: Fordham University Press] to develop a critique of the operation and adequacy of transparency as a form of accountability. The paper begins with an exploration of accountability as subjection explored through Lacan's account of the social dynamics of recognition, and Freud's account of guilt. This analysis then informs an exploration of what is argued to be our typically ambivalent embrace of transparency as a form of accountability. The final section of the paper investigates the potential for a more 'intelligent' form of accountability, grounded in an ethic of humility and generosity, made possible by a conscious acknowledgement of the ways in which I can never quite know what it is that I am doing.
