STS视角下的韩春雨事件分析--让科学回归真实的生活世界

The Analysis of Han Chunyu Incident from the Perspective of STS: Let Science Return the Real World of Life

摘要:

新媒体戏剧化的韩春雨事件报道过程反映出传统实证主义科技观仍在当前中国科学家和媒介观念中占据主导地位,也为STS学者提供了一次难得机会去审视当前中国科学家的真实知识生产及其与媒体科学传播的真实互动过程。本文首先从STS中默会知识理论和实验者回归悖论分析韩春雨事件中颇受争议的可重复性原则,指出可重复性原则不是一个镜式反映自然的表征过程,而是一个社会文化利益介入的实践建构过程。接着从STS中藤村的分子生物学彩车理论和拉图尔的信用循环理论角度分析韩春雨事件出现的社会原因。最后就如何避免类似韩春雨事件再次发生,提出自己的三点建议：首先,科研伦理与诚信建设机制需进一步重视与完善；其次,需在功利主义价值观与理想主义价值观之间保持合理的必要张力；最后,需加大STS教育的普及力度,让科学回归真实的生活世界。

Abstract:

The Han Chunyu incident’s dramatic reporting process of new medias reflects that the traditional positivist view of science and technology still dominates the current Chinese scientists and media ideas, and provides a rare opportunity for STS scholars to examine the current real knowledge production of Chinese scientists and their real interaction processes with media science communication. This paper first analyzes the controversial principle of reproducibility in the Han Chunyu incident from the tacit knowledge theory and the experimenter"s regression theory in STS, and points out that the principle of repeatability is not a mirror-like representation of natural characterization process, but the practice process intervened by the social and cultural interests. Then, from the perspective of the molecular biology float theory of Joan H.Fujimura in STS and the credit cycle theory of Bruno Latour, the social causes for the occurrence of the Han Chunyu incident are analyzed. Finally, we put forward three suggestions on how to avoid the recurrence of the Han Chunyu incident: Firstly, scientific ethics and integrity construction mechanism need to be further emphasized and perfected; Secondly, A reasonable necessary tension should be kept between utilitarian values and idealistic values; Thirdly, the popularity of STS education should be greatly increased in order to let science return the real world of life.
