中文简介: | 本课程考察美洲和欧洲最持久和最具影响力的身份和经验形式之一,特别是在科学实践和话语中创造、证明或争论种族和种族主义的方式。利用从杜波依斯到古尔德到吉尔罗伊的古典和当代读物,我们问基因组学和信息学世界中的种族逻辑是否正在发生变化,以及随着这种变化的逻辑,我们今天如何应对种族、科学、技术和不平等的新格局。被认为是进化种族主义的兴起;20世纪初关于优生学的争论;纳粹关于种族卫生的概念;拉丁美洲的国家建设项目和种族;现代生物学从种族到人口再到基因和基因组的运动。 |
课程简介: | This course examines one of the most enduring and influential forms of identity and experience in the Americas and Europe, and in particular the ways race and racism have been created, justified, or contested in scientific practice and discourse. Drawing on classical and contemporary readings from Du Bois to Gould to Gilroy, we ask whether the logic of race might be changing in the world of genomics and informatics, and with that changed logic, how we can respond today to new configurations of race, science, technology, and inequality. Considered are the rise of evolutionary racism; debates about eugenics in the early twentieth century; Nazi notions of "racial hygiene״; nation-building projects and race in Latin America; and the movement in modern biology from race to populations to genes and genomes. |
关 键 词: | 科学种族主义; 优生学; 人类生物多样性; 种族隔离 |
