During an ethnographic study of two Chilean schools over a period of three years, we observed the discursive assemblage of “what is vulnerable” emerging from an algorithm used to allocate public resources. In this article, we unravel the ways in which the algorithm intra‐acts with other elements in the process of producing what is vulnerable and how this affects our approach to ethnography. We conclude by considering two methodological dilemmas that arose from our work.

人种志研究的脆弱性：一种新的唯物主义的测量仪器方法，即算法

在过去三年中对两所智利学校进行的人种学研究中，我们观察到从用于分配公共资源的算法中出现的“易受伤害的事物”的歧义组合。在本文中，我们将阐明算法在生成易受攻击的内容以及如何影响人种学方法的过程中与其他元素进行交互的方式。最后，我们考虑了我们工作中出现的两个方法论难题。
