融會在玉米田裡的「非男性」科學－關於「女性科學」的哲學論爭與新發展

本文分成幾個部分：一、從生物學史中定位McClintock當年特殊的科學感知，「非男性」科學的特色；二、討論女性主義者如Keller，還有Harding等人對「女性科學」的不同觀點，還有對McClintock科學研究的不同評價。三、四兩節，我對Keller的名著——A Feeling for the Organism作了一個仔細的語言／象徵／論述之分析，發現McClintock與自然的關係大概有四種模型，比Keller有點浪漫的「愛」的模型要複雜很多，並且，McClintock與自然「融會」的科學，也沒有辦法避免傅科所指出的，在「機構中的研究者」如McClintock，與被研究者（玉米）彼此之間的權力宰制關係。畢竟，我們有的只是「部分」的非男性科學，而Harding對玉米田裡非男性科學的評價，值得我們進一步反省。

This is a study of McClintock's science and feminist interpretations of it, viewed through the lens of Keller's famous biographical study, A Feeling for the Organism. In addition to presenting a historically situated understanding of McClintock's 〞non-masculine〞 science, as interpreted by Keller and questioned by Harding, I offer a detailed discursive analysis of Keller's biography itself. What I found can be summerized into four different models of McClintock's relations with nature (or with her research subjects), a picture more complicated than Keller's own 〞eros〞 model. Moreover, my analysis reveals a special dimension of power relationship in the Foucauldian sense, between McClintock's research team as a dominant institutional power, and her research subjects. I argue that McClintock's science is, perhaps, a non-masculine science only in a partial sense. Further, this analysis also concurs with Harding's reservations about the value of McClintock's science as a paradigmatic feminist science.
