行动者网络理论视阈下的物联网技术

物联网技术是一项旨在通过射频识别(RFID)系统、红外感应器、全球定位系统、激光扫描器等信息传感设备,按照约定的协议,把任何物体与互联网相连接,进行信息交换和通信,以实现对物体的智能化识别、定位、跟踪、监控和管理的技术形态。从行动者网络理论的视角审视物联网技术,不仅能够给我们带来深刻的哲学启示,还能够为该技术的发展提供新的对策思路。     

哈工大"试验卫星一号"工程项目中的"无缝之网"

本文借助"行动者网络理论",对哈尔滨工业大学"试验卫星一号"工程项目进行剖析和解读。通过对"试验卫星一号"工程项目进行的研究表明,技术的、经济的、社会的、政治的、文化的因素一开始就相互联系,形成一个有机的整体——行动者组成的网络。技术无论是构思设计,还是生产加工,乃至应用扩散,都是人类的事务;技术应被理解为一个社会过程,社会因素全面渗入技术中,从而打破了技术与社会的边界,形成了技术与社会的"无缝之网"。     

Construction of Learning Networks—Vanity Fair or Realistic Opportunities?

This paper focuses on learning networks in business life. The idea is to bridge the gap between theories and concepts from organizational learning and economic modeling of networked cooperation. The central question is whether it is possible to construct a business network aimed solely at enhancing learning or whether networks must be integrated in daily business activities. Based on the development of a leadership educational program in the northwestern part of Norway, and by using Actor-Network theory, we conclude that an operational learning network needs to be integrated with concrete business interests. Learning networks will become a vanity fair if they are not connected to business activities.
