项目摘要

This study attempted to explore the possibilities for us to apply actor-network theory (ANT) to area studies. In other words, we tried to describe and analyze events and phenomena (such as development, local technology, and air base problems) as dynamic and heterogeneous networks of human beings, things and signs. After reorganizing our field data in terms of ANT concepts and also examining new trends in ANT and its related theories, the following points were made clear.1). ANT, which has originally been developed to analyze science and technology, has not a sufficient analytical vocabulary for those events and phenomena mentioned above in area studies. It appeared to us that a new vocabulary is required to be added to ANT.2). We came across two interesting theories which seem to be compatible with ANT, namely, ecological psychology (EP) and Mediology(ME). EP analyzes a human activity as a complex process of mediation between human(s) and cultural tools (language, tool, technology objects etc.). ME discuses about how an ideology is historically mediated with institutions and things to get its power. We then came to realize that these two vocabularies might contribute to elaborating ANT's theoretical and methodological discussions further. For instance, we may be able to replace the key concept of network in ANT with that of mediation in EP and ME to emphasize the process of enrolling various actants.3). Through the above examination, we are able to restate a new ANT framework as a complex historical mediation among human(s) and cultural tools including institutions and ideologies. This finding might give us a wider perspective in the above studies.

本研究试图探索将行动者网络理论(ANT)应用于区域研究的可能性。换句话说，我们试图将事件和现象(如发展、当地技术和空军基地问题)描述和分析为人、物和符号的动态和异质网络。在根据蚂蚁的概念重新整理了我们的现场数据，并考察了蚂蚁及其相关理论的新趋势后，明确了以下几点。蚂蚁最初是为了分析科学和技术而开发的，对于上述领域研究中提到的事件和现象，蚂蚁没有足够的分析词汇。对我们来说，似乎需要增加一个新的词汇。我们遇到了两个有趣的理论，它们似乎与蚂蚁相容，即生态心理学(EP)和介质学(ME)。EP将人类活动分析为人(S)和文化工具(语言、工具、技术对象等)之间的一个复杂的调解过程。我讨论了一种意识形态是如何在历史上通过制度和事物来获得其权力的。然后我们意识到，这两个词汇可能有助于进一步阐述ANT的理论和方法讨论。例如，我们可以用EP和ME中的调解来取代ANT中的网络这一关键概念，以强调招募各种行为者的过程。通过上述考察，我们能够重新表述一个新的蚂蚁框架，它是人(S)与包括制度和意识形态在内的文化工具之间的复杂的历史调解。这一发现可能会为我们在上述研究中提供更广阔的视角。
