项目摘要
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Global Economy, Technical Expertise and Mega-PortDevelopment in Northern MoroccoThis doctoral research explores the technical expertise, infrastructure and everyday practices of global logistics,focusing on the planning, implementing, and controlling of the global movement of goods and resources from places of origin to places of consumption at the emerging logistics hub of a new mega-port in Northern Morocco. Through semi-structured interviews with logistics professionals and participant observation in academic and on-site training programs in the Tangier region, this research will examine the perceptions and experiences of Moroccans training and working for this expanding industry. Three months of comparative research will be conducted in Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, the largest logistics hub in the United States. This study aims to elucidate (1) the complex social and technical processes of logistics enabling the efficient flow of goods in the global economy and (2) how a global form of technical expertise is constituted in particular places. Intellectual meritThis study will connect literatures in Cultural Anthropology and Science and Technology Studies (STS) in order to advance the social scientific understanding of globalization, technical expertise, and the local trajectories and impacts of training global experts. There are anthropologists who argue that the contemporary world should be studied by tracing the global flows of things, people and ideas. This study examines the material and technical dimension to the metaphor of global flow since most globally traded goods are organized by logistics experts to literally flow across the world's oceans. This study also builds on the commitment in STS to identify the social issues and political stakes in developing scientific and technological expertise in the post-colonial world.Broader impactsAn ethnographic study of global logistics is timely given the increasing outsourcing of shipping services and infrastructure, the social and environmental impacts of mega-port development, and the centrality of uninterrupted global flows of goods in current US national security policy.
博士论文研究:全球经济,技术专长和摩洛哥北部的大型港口发展这项博士研究探讨了全球物流的技术专长,基础设施和日常实践,重点是规划,实施和控制货物和资源从原产地到消费地的全球运动,在摩洛哥北部一个新的大型港口的新兴物流中心。通过对物流专业人士的半结构化访谈和参与丹吉尔地区学术和现场培训项目的观察,本研究将考察摩洛哥人在这一不断扩大的行业中接受培训和工作的看法和经验。将在美国最大的物流中心加州洛杉矶和长滩进行为期3个月的比较研究。本研究旨在阐明(1)物流的复杂社会和技术过程,使货物在全球经济中有效流动;(2)全球形式的技术专长如何在特定地方构成。本研究将连结文化人类学和科学技术研究(STS)的文献,以促进社会科学对全球化、技术专长和培养全球专家的当地轨迹和影响的理解。有些人类学家认为,应该通过追踪事物、人员和思想的全球流动来研究当代世界。本研究考察了全球流动隐喻的物质和技术维度,因为大多数全球贸易商品都是由物流专家组织的,从字面上看,它们流经世界各地的海洋。本研究还以STS的承诺为基础,确定后殖民世界发展科学和技术专门知识的社会问题和政治利害关系。更广泛的影响鉴于航运服务和基础设施的日益外包,大型港口发展的社会和环境影响,以及当前美国国家安全政策中不间断的全球货物流动的中心地位,对全球物流进行人种学研究是及时的。
