2003SARS在兩岸----生物政治學的研究途徑

2003SARS在兩岸
------以生物政治學的研究途徑
摘要
生物政治利用SARS事件對人類主體的政治學做出反思,把人類重新放置於「生物」本體的立基點來思考,描繪人類政治學中的權力機制的根源及其作用。生物政治學在研究方法上以系譜學為主,將傳統的權力研究更進一步至確定主體的研究,能重新思考人的本體論,從而開展另一層次的知識論及方法論。2003年春夏所爆發的SARS疫情在海峽兩岸及全世界都造成巨大的影響,而兩岸的經貿、文教交流和外交關係都達到谷底。本文試圖以系譜學方式整合流行病學與政治學研究,觀察海峽兩岸SARS事件始末並推論出其中權力行使的細緻意涵,研究將以社論新聞及實地參與觀察為主。
SARS在國內層面上關注於對身體的控制,國家無法管理病毒,所以以管理身體的方式來管理病毒,對身體監視(量體溫)、對身體限制(隔離)和對身體作用(醫治),而在國際方面國家的能力被簡化成控制身體的能力,於是也有身體的禁止(疫區)、身體能否得到醫治的許可(WHO出席)等等。研究顯示:一方面SARS是一種新型疾病,人們對於SARS的認識都充滿不確定性,但是人們在心理上要對SARS有所認識,因此SARS的流行病學的論述充滿了知識/權力的辯證關係;另一方面,依照SARS的流行病學對於SARS病毒/病人的管制:從SARS的名稱開始,到帶原者的分類,處理傳染與隔離的設施到疫區的判斷方式,也存在身體政治的意涵。證明了疾病的系譜是隨著主體的建構而有多重面向。

----On the Bio-Political Perspective
Abstract
The epidemic, SARS, erupted on two sides of the Taiwan Strait in spring and summer of 2003. Cross-Strait exchanges fell to close to none. It brought great influence to not only East Asia, but also the whole world. This essay attempts to employ the methodology of Genealogy to explore the SARS incident and to understand how power maneuvers in this context. The research materials will primarily be editorials and news. The research reveals that: SARS is a new disease. People are uncertain about the SARS symptom and desired to know more as possible. Therefore, the discourse of SARS is dialectic of knowledge/power. One the other hand, the signification of body politics can be seen in the control of virus/patients: from the name of SARS, to the categorization of virus carriers, and the way to handle the disease and quarantine. The final discuss is on the implication of disease in the context of globalization and international politics.
Western philosophical thinking the human being is the greatest of the living thing, and the other organism of the nature is object being. The assumption that human beings have the power to decide and discover their Subjects dictates the interactions between human beings and other creatures/ objects. The existence of “others” thus serves as a background and secondary meaning to human. Bio-politics aims to discuss a different kind of thinking which puts “others” in the position of Subjects. This is to deconstruct the opposite relations between human and nature, and to describe the source of power in humankind’s political science. Genealogy’s research on power traces back to the research on Subjects; while Bio-politics can employ Genealogy’s methodology to discover another level of research on power.
