當「我們」在一起：都市合作農耕之社會技術配置

Abstract

本文旨在說明都市合作農耕如何透過人與非人的裝配，促成公民參與社區經濟的結果。本文以行動者網絡理論作為方法上的取徑，追隨行動者的軌跡，勾勒出都市合作農耕從概念到實踐的形成過程。首先，都市合作農耕並不是一個具有固定形體、固定論述、固定操作方式的概念，它的「在」與「不在」必須在形象上、論述上以及實作上等層面被定義。其次，都市合作農耕概念的實踐是流動的，有賴異質行動者不斷地協商、結盟，來形成逐漸穩定的網絡，同時保有網絡的彈性邊界，並允許行動者持續加入或退出的行動者網絡，由此所形成的技術網絡，即為一去中心的配置系統。最後，強調流動技術、彈性網絡的都市合作農耕，使得消費者、生產者以及其他的非人行動者，在社區的範圍內彼此緊密連結。那麼，農園的生產功能不再是為了累積資本，而是以滿足需求為主；農園的剩餘也將更進一步地促成社區的公共財。在這樣的基礎上，社區經濟的雛形可見一斑。

This article aims to elaborate on how urban collaborative farming assembled by human and non-human actors, and leads to citizenship and community economy. By the approach of actor-network theory, I follow the actors to draw the outline of evolution from an abstract concept to a concrete practice of urban collaborative farming. First, urban collaborative farming doesn’t have a fixed figure, discourse and the way of practice. Whether it is “there,” should be defined on multiple aspects. Secondly, urban collaborative farming is fluid. Thus, to realize the concept of urban collaborative farming, it’s important that heterogeneous actors keep negotiate, ally with one another, and form a gradually stabilized network. Also, network with flexible boundary allows actors to join in and drop out is of equal importance and makes sense to citizen participation. Lastly, with the emphasis on fluid techniques and flexible network, urban collaborative farming connects consumers, producers and other non-human actors together within the community. By this token, the function of urban collaborative farms is nothing but meet the needs, and the surplus would not be accumulated as personal capital but serve as public goods. This way, the prototype of community also appears.
