摘要

巴基斯坦最大的水电开发项目卡拉巴格大坝的建设已经停滞了几十年。这篇文章询问了这个项目为什么以及如何被搁置了这么长时间。这表明,支持大坝建设的国家及其行政机构将其观点建立在“专家”知识之上,而将环保主义者、民族主义者和精神主义者组成的反大坝联盟提出的反知识斥为“不专业”。因此,大坝已成为大坝支持者和反大坝活动家之间争论知识主张的代理人。本文运用哈贝马斯的交往行为理论,将专家知识批判为“工具理性”,论证了巴基斯坦反大坝运动的交往行为在阻碍大坝建设中发挥了关键作用。它对为大坝辩护和反对的参与者进行了类型化,并记录了他们的知识主张。本文通过阐明反大坝活动家构建交流主张的方式,并将其用于工具性知识和利益的公开争论,为环境运动文学做出了贡献。

Contesting Instrumental Knowledge With Communicative Action: Why Kalabagh Dam (Pakistan) Remains Unbuilt
The building of Kalabagh Dam—Pakistan’s largest hydropower development project—has been stalled for decades. This article interrogates why and how this project has been grounded for so long. It shows that the state and its administrative agencies that support dam building rest their case on “expert” knowledge, while dismissing the counterknowledge produced by the anti-dam coalition of environmentalists, nationalists, and spiritualists as “inexpert.” Consequently, the dam has become a proxy for contending knowledge claims between the dam’s supporters and anti-dam activists. Deploying Habermas’s communicative action theory that critiques expert knowledge as “instrumental rationality,” this article demonstrates that the Pakistani anti-dam movement’s communicative action played the pivotal role in stalling the dam’s building. It typologizes actors, defending and opposing the dam, and documents their knowledge claims. The article contributes to the environmental movement literature by illuminating the ways in which anti-dam activists structure communicative claims, and deploy them for the public contestation of instrumental knowledge and interests.
