威權統治下的學術五毛與知識生產——一份轉型正義與知識不正義之間的跨領域研究倡議

Academic Charlatans and their Knowledge Production under Authoritarian Regime - An Interdisciplinary Research Proposal between Transitional Justice and Epistemic Injustice

本文藉由轉型正義與知識不正義的理論分析學術研究者與威權政權之間的關係，去解釋威權主義如何影響一個社會的知識生產與發展。透過案例研究，本文主張雖然兩方理論能部份地解釋一個威權統治下的社會在知識生產與傳播上所面臨的困難，但是它們各自的解釋似乎都無法充分地處理這個問題。在文獻回顧之後，本文發現：（1）轉型正義似乎無法解釋威權政權在知識上對一個社會所造成的負面影響，以及（2）知識不正義似乎無法解釋基於該政權之政治意識形態而來的偏見問題。據此，筆者提出一個跨領域研究計畫、其相關問題以及解答，以求更完整地理解這個問題，對轉型正義與知識不正義等理論做出學術貢獻。

This paper analyses the relationship between academic researchers and an authoritarian regime through theories of transitional justice and epistemic injustice to explicate how authoritarianism impacts knowledge production and development of a society. By case studies, the paper claims that although both theories could partially explain difficulties of production and spread of knowledge in an authoritarian-ruled society, it seems that each of their explanations taken individually is not adequate to address the problem. After reviewing the literatures, the paper finds that (1) transitional justice seems not able to explain the negative influences on knowledge on which an authoritarian regime has put the society and that (2) epistemic injustice seems not able to account for prejudices based on the political ideology of the regime. The author thereby proposes an interdisciplinary research project between the two fields so as not merely to seek a rather full understanding of the problem but to make contributions to them.
