Aramis, or the Love of Technology pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Frankenstein's monster was born of human endeavour and 19th-century ignominious end but provided many lessons during his 24 years of plans and prototypes. Aramis, the guided-transportation system intended for Paris, represented a major advance in "personal rapid transit" - a system that combined the efficiency of a subway with the flexibility of the private automobile. But in the end, the system of electronic couplings proved too complex and expensive, the political will failed, and the plans were jettisoned in 1987. The story of Aramis, of its birth and death, is told here by several different parties, none of which is given precedence over any other: an engineer and his professor, who together act as "detectives" to ferret out the reasons for the project's failure; company executives and elected officials; a sociologist; and finally Aramis itself, who delivers a passionate plea on behalf of technological innovations that risk being abandoned by their makers. Technology has needs and desires, especially a desire to be born, but cannot function without the sustained commitment of those who have created it. Part novel and part sociological study, Bruno Latour has written a tale of a technological dream gone wrong. As the young engineer and professor follow Aramis's trail - conducting interviews, analyzing documents, assessing the evidence - perspectives keep shifting: the truth is revealed as multilayered, unascertainable, comprising an array of possibilities worthy of "Rasbomon". The reader is eventually led to see the project from the point of view of Aramis, and along the way gains insight into the relationship between human beings and their technological creations.
在"真相"大白之際,這個從未存在過就因被拋棄而死去的機器對著一桌人類"嫌疑犯"悲憤地說: 你們從未愛過我,你們愛的隻是我這個概念。 因為我存在之前不夠完美,我就不配存在嗎?

評分一些朋友恨到死的書,我愛到流淚。以創意文學的形式,利用ANT理論,做瞭一個failed innovation的case study,frankenstein不斷地齣現,昭示著作者後續對於love your monster/technology的堅持。一個關於公共交通迭代的偵探故事,一個不斷重復沒有終點隻有contingency的曆史研究。
評分主要描述瞭Aramis(一種設想中的交通係統)在巴黎為什麼失敗。這奇怪的民族誌由幾個部分組成:相關人員訪談、ANT理論描述、作為一個專業工程師的 “我”和研究科學社會學的Norbert教授之間的對話。Latour強調不能根據最終的果來判定之前發生的事情是否是一個項目能否做成的因,因為那些被人說成是原因的東西隻是人們在知道結果後的定論。所以即使是研究一個從來都沒發生的事情,也不能輕下結論,認為是技術上的不成熟、民眾的不支持,或者所謂的政府決策原因導緻瞭它最終的流産,而要繞到曆史裏麵去分析這個項目最初想法的來源,以及這些想法如何在不同的行動者的閤作網絡中不斷被轉換的過程。書中的“我”是個很好玩的角色,Latour似乎故意安排瞭這樣一個鄙視科學社會學研究的科學傢來和社會學傢吵架。總之,這書很神棍。
