2008年9月的“问题奶粉”事件中,“凯氏定氮法”受到质疑,从事分析测试的科技工作者开始讨论新的检测食品中蛋白质含量的方法。本文试从Bruno Latour,John Law和Mitchel Callon等当代科学社会学、科学人类学学者的ANT(行动者网络理论)出发来分析“问题奶粉”中涉及的科技问题。在ANT的框架中,“凯氏定氮法”不仅仅是一种被动的分析技术,而是乳制品生产销售消费网络中的积极行动者。它的参与导致网络中的各种关系的变化,并最终促使了技术本身的发展。本文援引的ANT理论从根本上动摇了西方哲学体系中二元认识论,从而为当代复杂的社会科技伦理混合问题提供了一种崭新的研究角度。
In September 2008, the “Kjeldahl Method” was questioned in “Problem Milk Powder.” Scientists engaged in analytical testing began to discuss new ways to measure the protein content of foods. This article attempts to analyze the scientific and technological issues involved in “milk powder ” from the contemporary sociology of science such as Bruno Latour, John Law and Mitchel Callon and ANT (Theories of the Network of Theorists) of science anthropologists. In ANT’s framework, “Kjeldahl” is more than just a passive analytical technique, but an active actor in the production, distribution, and consumption of dairy products. Its involvement led to changes in the various relationships in the network and eventually led to the development of technology itself. The ANT theory quoted in this article fundamentally shakes the dual epistemology in the western philosophical system, thus providing a brand new research angle for the complicated contemporary social science ethics.
