THE TECHNOCRATIC ANTARCTIC: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE
Book ID/图书代码： 03360018C00016
English Summary/英文概要： The Technocratic Antarctic is an ethnographic account of the scientists and policymakers who work on Antarctica. In a place with no indigenous people, Antarctic scientists and policymakers use expertise as their primary model of governance. Scientific research and policymaking are practices that inform each other, and the Antarctic environment―with its striking beauty, dramatic human and animal lives, and specter of global climate change―not only informs science and policy but also lends Antarctic environmentalism a particularly technocratic patina.
Jessica O’Reilly conducted most of her research for this book in New Zealand, home of the "Antarctic Gateway" city of Christchurch, and on an expedition to Windless Bight, Antarctica, with the New Zealand Antarctic Program. O’Reilly also follows the journeys Antarctic scientists and policymakers take to temporarily "Antarctic" places such as science conferences, policy workshops, and the international Antarctic Treaty meetings in Scotland, Australia, and India. Competing claims of nationalism, scientific disciplines, field experiences, and personal relationships among Antarctic environmental managers disrupt the idea of a utopian epistemic community. O’Reilly focuses on what emerges in Antarctica among the complicated and hybrid forms of science, sociality, politics, and national membership found there. The Technocratic Antarctic unfolds the historical, political, and moral contexts that shape experiences of and decisions about the Antarctic environment.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《南极科学家》是一篇关于南极科学家和决策者的民族志文章。在一个没有土著居民的地方，南极科学家和决策者将专业知识作为他们的主要治理模式。科学研究和政策制定是相互传递信息的实践，南极环境——以其惊人的美丽、引人注目的人类和动物生命，以及全球气候变化的幽灵——不仅为科学和政策提供了信息，也使南极环境保护主义成为一种官僚主义的专利。
杰西卡•奥莱利为这本书做了大部分研究，她在新西兰——“南极门户”克赖斯特彻奇市的所在地——以及与新西兰南极计划一起前往无风的南极湾考察时进行了研究。奥莱利还跟踪南极科学家和政策制定者为临时“南极”地点而进行的旅行，比如在苏格兰、澳大利亚和印度举行的科学会议、政策研讨会和国际南极条约会议。对民族主义、科学学科、实地经验和南极环境管理人员之间个人关系的相互竞争的主张破坏了乌托邦式的认识共同体的想法。奥莱利关注的是在南极洲发现的科学、社会、政治和国家成员的复杂和混合形式。《南极科学家》展开了历史、政治和道德背景，塑造了南极环境的经验和决定。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：南极的科学家解决了关于自然如何被发现和政策制定的重要问题，紧密地交织在一起的实践将科学家和政策制定者的多个群体联系在一起。杰西卡•奥莱利选择了一个令人着迷的考察地点:南极大陆及其各种前哨——科学实验室、环境管理机构、绿色和平动员组织、新西兰机场以及分布在全球各地的国际会议室。奥莱利按时间顺序记录了五个引人入胜的案例研究，它们说明了科学和政策必然会在最世俗的活动中被强化。"The Technocratic Antarctic tackles important questions about how nature is discovered and policy crafted, intimately intertwined practices binding multiple communities of scientists and policymakers. Jessica O’Reilly has chosen a fascinating field site: the continent of Antarctica and its various outposts--scientific labs, environmental management agencies, Greenpeace mobilizations, the airport in New Zealand, and international meeting rooms scattered across the globe. O’Reilly chronicles five engrossing case studies that illustrate the ways in which science and policy are necessarily imbricated in the most mundane activities and the most monumental."
