项目摘要

DIY biology is arguably the most controversial offshoot of maker subculture, giving rise to heated debates across theglobe. DIY biologists experiment with gene editing technologies but do not operate under the supervision and safetyguidelines of established institutions. The movement juxtaposes the controversial domain of biotechnology with adisruptive innovation, anti-establishment ideology. In some nation states, DIY biology raises hopes of a bio-techrevolution. Elsewhere, it is associated with a dystopian future of high-consequence pathogens escaping from thelaboratories. There are no culturally-sensitive analyses which ask why the movement is celebrated and swiftly adapted inone country, while it is restricted in others. Therefore, I propose a 3-year, comparative study of three nation states:Germany, the UK and Canada. This qualitative project explores the social processes involved in the co-production ofimaginaries and policy. The goal of this project is to understand how each country envisions DIY biology differently,bridging the tension between a controversial, globally networked DIY science movement, and national cultures, identitiesand socio-economic objectives. The project's comparative perspective will provide important insights into the lack ofgeneralizability of ideas about what constitutes innovation. It will additionally present recommendations that enablepolicymakers to engage with the challenges of DIY science in culturally appropriate ways.

DIY生物学可以说是创客亚文化中最具争议的分支，在全球范围内引发了激烈的争论。DIY生物学家对基因编辑技术进行实验，但不受既定机构的监督和安全指导。该运动将有争议的生物技术领域与颠覆性创新、反建制意识形态并列。在一些民族国家，DIY生物学引发了一场生物技术革命的希望。在其他地方，它与反乌托邦的未来有关，即后果严重的病原体从实验室中逃逸。没有文化敏感的分析来问为什么运动在一个国家受到庆祝和迅速适应，而在另一个国家受到限制。因此，我建议对三个民族国家进行为期三年的比较研究：德国、英国和加拿大。这个定性的项目探讨了与想象和政策共同产生的社会过程。该项目的目标是了解每个国家对DIY生物学的不同设想，弥合有争议的、全球网络化的DIY科学运动与国家文化、身份和社会经济目标之间的紧张关系。该项目的比较视角将提供重要的见解，以了解关于什么是创新的想法缺乏通用性。它还将提出建议，使政策制定者能够以文化上适当的方式应对DIY科学的挑战。
