摘要

科学技术研究（STS）和社会学之间的关系有着悠久的相互联系的传统，但STS的一个关键影响者Michel Serres却没有得到充分利用。社会学的跨学科性使其成为探索Serres独特而优雅的方法的理想之选。本文将概述欧洲中心主义假设在社会学中造成的盲点。在考察米歇尔·塞雷斯的思想之前，他将定位于他所影响的更广泛的STS和演员网络理论。将特别关注塞雷斯关于寄生虫和天使的概念；关键是他对关系、沟通及其破裂的看法。然后，这将被用来追踪欧洲中心寄生主义的几个历史例子中的关系和由这些关系构成的对象。它将与作者对田野调查的反思以及对塞雷斯思想的部署进行对比，以建立一个更加联系、公平和交流的社会科学。

Between Parasites and Angels: Sociology, Eurocentrism, and Michel Serres

The relationship between science and technology studies (STS) and sociology has a long tradition of interconnection, yet one key influencer of STS, Michel Serres, has been underutilized. The interdisciplinarity of sociology makes it ideal for exploring Serres’ unique and elegant approach. This article will outline the blind spots in sociology caused by Eurocentric assumptions. Before examining the thinking of Michel Serres, he will be located in the broader STS and actor-network theory he influenced. Special attention will be given to Serres’ concepts of parasites and angels; key to his perspective on relations, communication, and their breakdown. This will then be used to trace relations and the objects constituted by those relations within several historical examples of Eurocentric parasitism. It will be contrasted with reflections on the author’s fieldwork and deployment of Serres’ ideas for a more connected, equitable, and communicative social science.
