中醫做為方法：STS如何向中醫的多元認識空間學習？

Chinese Medicine as Method: How can STS Learn from Chinese Medical practices?

在科技與社會研究（STS）由實作反思中醫的經驗意涵的豐富成果上，本文釐清當前中醫實作者的經驗模式與規範架構，探討如何以中醫經驗作為拓展研究視野的方法。本文首先介紹對中醫多元發展與轉變的研究。其次，本文根據訪談資料，定位八種台灣中醫與西醫的互動經驗類型，並釐清四種規範架構。最後本文藉由這些重新定位，提出以中醫做為方法的三種策略：第一種，發展正視經驗為基礎的理解。第二種，釐清多元認識規範架構存在與影響。第三種，以中醫認識空間拓展研究視野，如何挑戰如行動者網絡理論等既有STS理論與方法。本文藉此由在地中醫經驗與視野出發，開拓STS的格局與想像力。 Based on the fruitful STS studies of Chinese Medicine (CM), this paper further explores how the diverse practices and embedded normative frameworks of CM practitioners can enrich STS perspectives. It first introduces and reflects on the studies of development of CM within hegemonic biomedicine. Drawing on interviews with CM practitioners in Taiwan, this paper discerns eight modes of relations between CM and biomedicine in four normative frameworks. Finally, this paper elaborates three strategies for using CM as method: first, making sense of the experiences of CM; second, exploring the multitude of normative frameworks; third, expanding our research perspectives on the basis of CM methods to challenge STS theoretical approaches, such as actor-network theory. This paper aims to expand the scope and imagination of STS on the basis of those situated CM experiences and perspectives.
