课程描述
本课程探讨科学研究的规范性和最新理论和方法。讨论以「复制／再造」概念为主，意指：
This course surveys canonical and recent theories and methods in science studies. We will organize our discussions around the concept of "reproduction," referring variously to:
- 科学复制（实验室、领域和学科如何重复成果）
Scientific reproduction (how results are replicated in lab, field, disciplinary contexts) - 社会复制（社会知识和关系如何随时日复制）
Social reproduction (how social knowledge and relations are regenerated over time) - 生物复制（基因时代如何管理有机物体）
Biological reproduction (how organic substance is managed in the genetic age) - 电子复制（信息如何以抄录、模拟、计算的技术重组）
Electronic reproduction (how information is reassembled in techniques of transcription, simulation, computation).
通过检视这些复制／再造流派的聚合和分裂，我们力图谱写我们的社会、生物和电子生命之间的关系。
Examining intersections and disruptions of these genres of reproduction, we seek to map relations among our social, biological, and electronic lives.
