摘要

Although the STS literature on boundary-work recognizes that such work unfolds within a "terrain of uneven advantage" vis-a-vis gender, race, and other inequalities, reflection about that uneven advantage has been strikingly underdeveloped. This article calls for a retheorizing of boundary-work that engages more actively with feminist, critical race, and postcolonial scholarship and examines more systematically the relation between scientific boundary-work, broader structures of sociopolitical inequality, and boundary-workers' (embodied) positionality. To demonstrate the need for this retheorization, I analyze ethnographic and interview data on scientific boundary-work in the natural and social sciences in Portugal, showing that scholars' gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and nationality affect the success of their boundary-work. I suggest, therefore, that in unequal societies where credibility is unevenly distributed, the conditions are not in place for some scholars' boundary-work to work. I draw on Sara Ahmed (and J. L. Austin) to argue that we must conceptualize scientific boundary-work as always potentially performative, but not always successfully so, and explicitly interrogate the actual conditions of performativity. Recognizing the links between inequality, embodiment, and non-performativity in scientific boundary-work will enable STS to better understand, and hopefully transform, the relations between contingent struggles over scientificity and entrenched structures of power.

L.奥斯丁）论证说，我们必须将科学的边界工作概念化为总是潜在的表现力，但并非总是如此成功，并明确地询问表现力的实际条件。认识到科学界边界工作中的不平等，体现和非执行力之间的联系，将使STS更好地理解并有望转变关于科学的偶然性斗争与根深蒂固的权力结构之间的关系。
