摘要

本研究以墨西哥-美国的一家小型跨国公司的日常技术和专业交流(TPC)为例。边界说明了TPC分析中常用的协调分析框架——活动理论(AT)和行动者网络理论(ANT)——如何帮助TPC学者和实践者公平公正地解释他人的异步通信，即使在复杂的跨文化背景下也是如此。这些例子说明了为什么发展21世纪的规范伦理学需要关注目标导向的活动以及人类、非人类和黑盒力量的扁平、网络化互动在TPC从业者日常生活和工作中的交叉方式。

Everyday Ethics at the Border: Normative Ethics for the 21st Century

This study uses examples from a case of everyday technical and professional communication (TPC) at a small multinational company on the Mexico–U.S. border to illustrate how coordinating analytical frameworks commonly used in TPC analyses—activity theory (AT) and actor-network theory (ANT)—can help TPC scholars and practitioners negotiate interpreting others’ asynchronous communication fairly and justly, even in complex, intercultural contexts. The examples illustrate why developing normative ethics for the 21st century requires attention to the ways that goal-oriented activity and the flat, networked interaction of the human, nonhuman, and black-boxed forces intersect in everyday TPC practitioners’ lives and work.

期刊介绍： JBTC is a refereed journal that provides a forum for discussion of communication practices, problems, and trends in business, professional, scientific, and governmental fields. As such, JBTC offers opportunities for bridging dichotomies that have traditionally existed in professional communication journals between business and technical communication and between industrial and academic audiences. Because JBTC is designed to disseminate knowledge that can lead to improved communication practices in both academe and industry, the journal favors research that will inform professional communicators in both sectors. However, articles addressing one sector or the other will also be considered.
