artificial intelligence, posthuman condition, ethnomethodology, new materialism, cognitive assemblage

本研究嘗試以俗民方法學為基礎，提出一個可探究充斥著演算法
與人工智慧之後人類處境的理論與分析架構。以俗民方法學的提問為
核心，「後」俗民方法學將基本的分析單位轉換為一個異質組裝的行動
場景，並以下列提問為分析目標：藉由重組行動場景並拆解各類（包
含人與非人的）認知者的認知與行動樣態，進而探究這些行動又是以
什麼樣的方式解明其行動場景？同時也追問，什麼樣的「常識知識」
在行動中被以什麼樣的方式持續再建構？

This study proposes a theoretical and analytical framework grounded
in ethnomethodology to investigate the posthuman condition in the context
of the increasing prevalence of algorithmic systems and artificial
intelligence. In exploring the complex interactions between human and
nonhuman actors, this study’s so-called post-ethnomethodological approach
considers the basic unit of analysis to be the heterogeneous assemblage of
an action scene. This study probes the following question: How do the
actions of such heterogeneous cognizers (humans and nonhumans) make
their action scenes accountable? This study seeks to reassemble action
scenes and to analyze their cognitive and behavioral patterns. Furthermore,
in the reassembly process, this study investigates the type of common-sense
knowledge that is continually reconstructed in action, as well as the manner
in which it is reconstructed.
