課程描述
本課程探討科學研究的規範性和最新理論和方法。討論以「複製／再造」概念為主，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:
- 科學複製（實驗室、領域和學科如何重複成果）
Scientific reproduction (how results are replicated in lab, field, disciplinary contexts) - 社會複製（社會知識和關係如何隨時日複製）
Social reproduction (how social knowledge and relations are regenerated over time) - 生物複製（基因時代如何管理有機物體）
Biological reproduction (how organic substance is managed in the genetic age) - 電子複製（信息如何以抄錄、模擬、計算的技術重組）
Electronic reproduction (how information is reassembled in techniques of transcription, simulation, computation).
通過檢視這些複製／再造流派的聚合和分裂，我們力圖譜寫我們的社會、生物和電子生命之間的關係。
Examining intersections and disruptions of these genres of reproduction, we seek to map relations among our social, biological, and electronic lives.
