论技术的“性别化”

“Gender” theory of technology

摘要:

“技术与性别”论题是技术哲学与技术社会学研究新的关注点。作为与传统技术哲学研究不同方式出现的、对技术以“他者”方式进行的理论反思,技术的“性别研究”,可以获得对技术以及创造并使用技术的“性别化的人类”更全面的理解。它先后历经了两个阶段：首先是对传统技术史进行性别反思,认为需要对技术史中被忽视的女性技术发明家进行“补偿式”研究。其次则试图在社会与文化结构中探讨作为一种社会因素的“性别”对技术的建构过程。考察技术与性别关系,应既包括作为动态的技术过程中的性别因素,还须包括作为静态的技术制品与技术知识中的性别因素。反思技术的性别化问题,并不是要从技术的“男性化”时代逆转为技术的“女性化”时代,而是要力图建构“性别和谐”的技术发展价值观。

Abstract:

The topic of “Technology and gender” is a new research focus on philosophy of technology and sociology of technology. Appeared in a way different from traditional philosophy of technology research, on the theory of reflection technology to “other” mode, technology of "gender studies", can obtain the technology and to create and use technology of “Gender of human beings” more comprehensive understanding. It has experienced two stages: The first stage is gender reflection of the traditional technology, its holds that we need to compensate to research about neglected female technology inventor on technical history. The second stage is trying to explore the social and cultural structure as a kind of social factors "gender" to the construction of technical process. To investigate the relationship between the technology and gender, both as a gender factors in the process of dynamic technology, also include as static knowledge of technology products and technology in gender factors. Rethinking the problem of technology of gender is not aimed at shifting masculine technology era to the female technology era, but attempt to construct "gender harmony" technology development value.
