摘要

STS对科学民主化的规范性承诺在多大程度上是民主环境的产物,而民主环境是科学民主化最常见的产物?STS学者在历史上提供了一个强大的批判性视角,通过它来理解科学的社会结构,并且在这一领域的开创性贡献概述了公民改善科学行为及其结果的方法。然而,除了少数例外,大多数STS学者仍然回避了对富裕的、所谓成熟的西方民主国家中公众参与科学的更具问题的案例的研究,以及对贫穷的、有时是非民主的环境中的科学制造的审查。对STS学者传统上忽视的问题案例和不同政治背景的研究如何以新的方式推动这一领域的发展?这篇论文回应了来自两个东方社会学学会主席小组关于反科学时代的科学和技术研究的论文主题。它考虑了在STS传统中工作的社会学家对科学民主化的规范承诺的含义。

Science and Democracy Reconsidered
To what extent is the normative commitment of STS to the democratization of science a product of the democratic contexts where it is most often produced? STS scholars have historically offered a powerful critical lens through which to understand the social construction of science, and seminal contributions in this area have outlined ways in which citizens have improved both the conduct of science and its outcomes. Yet, with few exceptions, it remains that most STS scholarship has eschewed study of more problematic cases of public engagement of science in rich, supposedly mature Western democracies, as well as examination of science-making in poorer, sometimes non-democratic contexts. How might research on problematic cases and dissimilar political contexts traditionally neglected by STS scholars push the field forward in new ways? This paper responds to themes that came out of papers from two Eastern Sociological Society Presidential Panels on Science and Technology Studies in an Era of Anti-Science. It considers implications of the normative commitment by sociologists working in the STS tradition to the democratization of science.
