摘要

本研究運用Foucault的生命政治、Virilio的速度政治、機動化社會，以及補缺式韌命等概念，討論台灣道路交通安全的治理術。在概述台灣道路安全的問題化與治理體制後，研究者舉例說明了分流化、保險化、監測化及合宜主體化，乃道路安全治理的核心邏輯與部署方式，並體現爲基礎設施。接著，研究者指出人人皆可能在交通意外中傷亡的狀況，位於機動化速度社會的根柢；但是，差異化的韌命卻遮掩了這種基本狀況，並形成時間、貨幣與生命的循環。再者，機動化速度社會還蘊藏著雙重的死亡政治，構成安全治理術和生命政治的內蘊衝突。

This article discusses the governmentality of road safety in Taiwan by drawing upon notions of Foucault's life politics, Virilio's speed politics, automobilized society and prosthetic-resilient life. The author first outlines Taiwanese road safety as a problematized issue with specific regime of governance. The diversion of different traffic flows, the operation of insurance, the establishment of monitoring system and the shaping of appropriate subjects are identified as the core elements for the rationale and deployment behind the governmentality of road safety, and embodied as infrastructure. The author argues that each person might be injured by traffic accidents and thus is embedded in a risky situation which is fundamental to the automobilized society. However, the differentiated status of resilient life covers this fundamental situation and building into it a cycle of time, currency, and life. Finally, it is argued that there moreover exists the dual politics of death for the automobilized society that reveal the inherent tensions in the governmentality or life politics of road safety.
