課程概述

■課程介紹:

基礎設施(infrastructure)是都市發展的條件、成果,以及象徵性展現。道路、橋梁、電訊、電力、天然氣、供水和排水等技術系統和都市服務,不僅支持著城市的順利運轉,構成都市景觀,還是社會關係與過程的環節、經濟發展和財務投資的重點,也是政治爭議及慾望投射的焦點。因此,基礎設施作為都市功能和都市形式的承載體,可說是「都市意義」(urban meaning)和運轉的重要基礎。再者,供應人類需求的基礎設施,也蘊含了人與自然的互動與共構,或者說,涉及了人類對自然資源的擷取、改造、輸送與想像。

於是,基礎設施是探討現代性、都市性、技術發展,以及人與自然之關係的重要媒介。它是生產和遞送必要物質、財貨與服務之持續流動的人造環境與過程的網絡。基礎設施的核心特質為系統、網絡、連結、循環、流動,自然也藉此轉化而與人類社會產生關連。因此,基礎設施乃社會-自然的技術複合體,構成人類生活的環境或氛圍,更是人類之社會-物質存有與流變(social-material ontology and becoming)的關鍵部分。

本課程介紹晚近國際學界對於基礎設施的新取向,亦即超越狹隘的工程、科技、財務和管理觀點,以政治、社會和文化為探討重點,考察基礎設施所體現的技術與社會、人類與自然、知識與實作的關係。本課程首先介紹基礎設施、現代性和技術政治等概念,然後研讀特定個案研究成果,包括核能發電、電力網、資訊基礎設施、天然氣管線、供水管線、運河、水壩、道路等。最後,本課程並延伸論及基礎設施的僵固性、基礎設施和日常生活,以及基礎設施失靈危機等議題。
 

課程目標
■課程目標:

  本課程目標在於令修課者 (1) 掌握基礎設施之技術政治的重要理論和經驗研究成果;(2) 通過閱讀、報告、討論和實際課題研究,學習運用既有理論概念來探討基礎設施政治議題;(3) 通過實際基礎設施議題的探討和掌握,摸索與既有理論取向對話的可能性。

■適合對象:碩士班二年級以上與博士班學生。
 
課程要求
■課程要求:

盡力閱讀課程材料,勇於發問,勤於出席。修習者的投入與表現,對本課程能否順利運作非常重要。本課程採取講演和討論課(seminar)並行方式,每次上課由教師講授和提示重點,並由參與者分配導讀該週的閱讀材料,每篇文章報告時間,必須控制於十五分鐘,盡量留時間發問和討論,探討能跟理論概念對話的經驗議題。報告者必須分發書面提要(必須包含三百字以內之摘述,主要論點和論證邏輯之說明【配合論證圖示】,以及評論和問題)。
沒有分配到當週閱讀材料導讀的同學,則需繳交針對某一篇或全部閱讀材料的讀書心得和提問,至少一頁。旁聽的同學,不需分配閱讀材料的導讀,也不必繳交作業,但必須每堂課繳交讀書心得與提問。

本課程的設計份量,需要修課者在課堂外花費四倍以上的時間,也就是3 X 4=12個小時,包括閱讀教材、與同學討論、撰寫摘要或讀書心得及提問的時間。

■摘要寫作要點:
書面摘要必須於首頁列明報告文獻書目(APA格式)、日期、報告人,先有三百字摘要,述明整篇文章的問題意識和主要論點。然後是經過消化的、條理分明的內容概述。換言之,不宜逐段摘譯,最好是整理出文中討論的主要問題,以及作者對這些問題的回答或爭辯,建議以圖表方式整理出主要的論證架構,也可以搭配一些圖片,譬如說作者照片、書影或文中提到的人物和事件圖片。如果直接引述文中語句或段落,必須以不同字體清楚標示,並加註頁碼。最後,必須針對文獻內容提出問題,或是可供延伸討論的經驗議題。

書面摘要和提問討論單,都要於當日下午五點以前,上傳至本課程Ceiba網頁討論區。

■作業要求與評分:

1.學術書評:針對本課程開列的一本或數本專書,撰寫符合學術期刊規格之書評,三千至五千字,佔15%。

2.期末報告:以特定都市與區域之基礎設施為主題的學術論文一篇,必須以經驗材料為基礎,運用本課程提到的概念來協助分析。該經驗現象可以位於台灣或其他國家,也可以是歷史材料。該項作業的具體題目,必須事先與教師商議,並撰寫一份期末報告計畫書,說明問題意識、相關文獻和研究方法等(約三頁)。學期中先繳交初稿,經教師批閱後,於學期最後一周繳交完稿,並準備課堂口頭報告。期末報告的規格和排版必須符合學術要求,可參照《台灣社會學刊》或《台灣社會學》的格式。完稿必須包含中英文題目、中文摘要和關鍵詞等項目;字數以一萬五千字為度。期末報告計畫書佔5%,期末報告初稿佔20%,期末報告完稿佔10%,合計35%。

4.平時表現:包含出席狀況10%、參與討論10%、課堂口頭報告與書面摘要表現30%等,合計50 %。

5.各項報告須準時繳交,遲交一天扣五分(以扣除五十分為上限),但期末報告不可遲交。繳交時間明定於各周進度中。
