本課程為「生命政治」(biopolitics)的初階導論課程,不完全聚焦於 Michael Foucault,但相對重視生物醫學、生物科技的社會面向主題,因此課程的領域定 位是政治社會學、醫療社會學和科技與社會研究(STS)。Biopolitics(或類似概 念)並不新,卻是在新世紀之交才開始在不同領域獲得矚目(「人類基因體計畫」 扮演重要角色),並出現許多原創性的衍生概念。要進入這個理論旅程,需要初 步而可以作為進階預備的導覽,此為本課程的目的。
課程設計分為四部分。第一部分為 biopolitics 概念啟發的經驗研究,涵蓋不 同領域和主題,目的是透過經驗研究案例,初步掌握研究脈絡中的理論概念及其 應用方式。第二部分透過 Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction(Lemke, 2011)這 本精簡導論的導覽,biopolitics 的觀念史有個基本完整的全景圖像。第三部分前 半以 Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction 為依據,選讀 biopolitics 經典文獻,主 要集中在 Michel Foucault、Giorgio Agamben 及 Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri。 第三部分後半同樣以 Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction 為依據,選讀晚近從 biopolitics 衍生之原創性理論概念的重要文獻。最後一部分由修課者決定,選項 包括:延續前一部分之經典或重要理論文獻的選讀、2010 年迄今的重要理論或 經驗研究文獻選讀、選讀討論 biopolitics 與 neoliberalism 關係的文獻,或自選與 自己研究興趣相關之理論文獻或經驗研究。
透過「理論啟發的研究→理論全景導覽→理論文獻(經典文獻→重要創新文 獻)選讀→客制化主題」的四階段設計,本課程希望提供修課者「重要概念和研 究主題」的理論全景、「如何進行理論啟發的研究和理論研究」的借鏡、「(若進 行相關研究或資格考必須檢視耙梳的)重要文獻書目」,以及「進階研究的必要 基礎」。

This course is an introductory course on "biopolitics". It does not entirely focus on Michael Foucault, but it pays relatively attention to the social aspects of biomedicine and biotechnology. Therefore, the field positioning of the course is political sociology, medical sociology, and science, technology and social studies (STS). Biopolitics (or similar concepts) is not new, but it began to gain attention in different fields at the turn of the new century (the "Human Genome Project" played an important role), and many original derivative concepts emerged. To enter this theoretical journey requires an initial guide that can serve as a preparation for advanced studies, which is the purpose of this course.
The course design is divided into four parts. The first part is empirical research inspired by the concept of biopolitics, covering different fields and topics. The purpose is to initially grasp the theoretical concepts and their application methods in the research context through empirical research cases. The second part provides a basically complete panoramic image of the conceptual history of biopolitics through the concise introduction of Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction (Lemke, 2011). The first half of the third part is based on Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction, with selected readings of classic biopolitics literature, mainly focusing on Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. The second half of the third part is also based on Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction, and selects important recent literature on original theoretical concepts derived from biopolitics. The last part is decided by the course taker, and the options include: continuing the reading of classic or important theoretical literature from the previous part, selecting reading of important theoretical or empirical research literature from 2010 to the present, reading literature discussing the relationship between biopolitics and neoliberalism, or self-selecting theoretical literature or empirical research related to one's own research interests.
Through the four-stage design of "theoretically inspired research → theoretical panoramic navigation → reading of theoretical documents (classic documents → important innovative documents) → customized themes", this course hopes to provide course participants with a theoretical panorama of "important concepts and research topics", "how to conduct theoretically inspired research and theoretical research", "important literature bibliographies (which must be reviewed if conducting related research or qualification examinations)", and "the necessary foundation for advanced research".
