随着复杂的数据驱动系统越来越多地用于了解和治理全球问题，社会法律的研究领域正在迅速变化。“社会的”和“法律的”都是通过算法规则和自动决策的过程来转变的。在安全领域，这些变化正在催生新的全球基础设施，通过提取、交换和分析大量数据来应对潜在风险。本文批判性地审视了这些数据基础设施对社会法律的研究的关键方法论影响，并认为应对这些挑战需要一种不同的研究方法--一种研究监管和数据基础设施的方法，一种与社会物质实践和新兴关系相适应的方法，一种表现性而不是代表性的方法。本文主要从行动者网络理论、面向物质的社会法律的工作和关键安全研究中，概述了一种用于了解和干预全球安全基础设施的实验性“方法组合”（“infra-legalities”），并探讨了这种研究方法的主要特点。社会法律的研究的重点是“真实的世界中的法律”-及其相关的认识论和方法论假设-需要受到挑战和修改，以应对全球安全基础设施和算法监管带来的问题。
As complex data‐driven systems are increasingly used to know and govern global problems, the terrain for socio‐legal studies research is rapidly changing. Both ‘the social’ and ‘the legal’ are transformed through processes of algorithmic regulation and automated decision making. In the security field, these changes are giving rise to novel global infrastructures for countering potential risks through the extraction, exchange, and analysis of vast amounts of data. This article critically examines the key methodological implications of these data infrastructures for socio‐legal research and argues that confronting these challenges requires a different approach to research methods – one that studies regulation and data infrastructurestogether, that is empirically attuned to socio‐material practices and emergent relations, and that is performative rather than representational in orientation. Drawing principally from actor–network theory, materiality‐orientated socio‐legal work, and critical security studies, this article outlines an experimental ‘method assemblage’ (‘infra‐legalities’) for knowing and intervening in global security infrastructures and explores the main features of this research approach. The focus of socio‐legal studies on ‘law in the real world’ – and its associated epistemological and methodological assumptions – needs to be challenged and modified to grapple with the problems posed by global security infrastructures and algorithmic regulation.
