Situated Knowledge: Forms and Functions of Weak Bodies of Knowledge (A06)

现代社会的特点是由国家组织的社会软弱和强大的关系。这些都是由社会实践塑造的，其庄严的组织结构是通过求助于作为医学、福利和社会偏差领域的重要资源的“知识”来塑造的。在社会强者的知识存量面对社会弱者的星座中，出现了一个相互关联的复杂的社会弱者知识星座。一方面是关于社会弱势和社会弱势行为者的知识，另一方面是关于弱势行为者自身状况的知识。在庄严的资源制度如何处理社会弱点方面，这两种形式的知识具有不同的功能。

Modern societies are characterized by relationships of social weakness and strength organized by the state. These are molded by social practices whose stately organization is shaped by a recourse to “knowledge” as an important resource in the realms of medicine, welfare, and social deviance. In a constellation, in which the stocks of knowledge of socially strong actors face socially weak actors, a complicatedly mutually interrelated constellation of the knowledge of social weakness occurs. There is, on the one hand, the knowledge about social weakness and socially weak actors, on the other hand, the knowledge of weak actors about their own condition. The two forms of knowledge have different functions in regard to how stately resource regimes deal with social weakness.
