ABSTRACT In this article we argue that the notion of control poses a critical conceptual and historical connection between scientific and political power. While many meanings of control originate in the sciences, concepts of experimentation, care, and learning currently translate into increasingly decentralized governance concepts, be it through market-logics or surveillance technologies. That is, epistemic and social control is co-constituted. Collaborative research plays a transformative but paradoxical role in this interplay: Science and Technology Studies scholars have leveraged powerful critiques against techno-scientific control and have shaped practical modes of transdisciplinary research. However, the critique of techno-scientific control is increasingly mixed up with post-truth controversies, and the appeal to inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration has been appropriated by neoliberal science policy. The historical conundrum culminates in a practical dilemma: Collaborative researchers seek to overcome the very regimes of techno-scientific control that the sciences are bound to co-produce. Can they shift the control regimes that they are part of? Collaborative research requires a critical and pragmatic standpoint with regard to both the methods of politics and the politics of methodology. This special issue seeks to come to terms with the inherent contradictions of collaborative research and make useful proposals with regard to its political potential.

合作研究中的社会和认知控制——重新配置政治和方法论的相互作用

摘要 在本文中，我们认为控制的概念在科学和政治权力之间建立了关键的概念和历史联系。虽然控制的许多含义起源于科学，但实验、护理和学习的概念目前转化为越来越分散的治理概念，无论是通过市场逻辑还是监控技术。也就是说，认知控制和社会控制是共同构成的。合作研究在这种相互作用中扮演着变革性但又矛盾的角色：科学和技术研究学者利用强有力的批评来反对技术科学控制，并塑造了跨学科研究的实用模式。然而，对技术科学控制的批判越来越多地与后真相争论混为一谈，对跨学科和跨学科合作的呼吁已被新自由主义科学政策所采纳。历史难题最终导致实际困境：合作研究人员寻求克服科学必然共同产生的技术科学控制制度。他们能改变他们所属的控制制度吗？合作研究需要在政治方法和方法论政治方面具有批判性和务实的立场。本期特刊试图解决合作研究的内在矛盾，并就其政治潜力提出有用的建议。合作研究人员寻求克服科学必然共同产生的技术科学控制制度。他们能改变他们所属的控制制度吗？合作研究需要在政治方法和方法论政治方面具有批判性和务实的立场。本期特刊试图解决合作研究的内在矛盾，并就其政治潜力提出有用的建议。合作研究人员寻求克服科学必然共同产生的技术科学控制制度。他们能改变他们所属的控制制度吗？合作研究需要在政治方法和方法论政治方面具有批判性和务实的立场。本期特刊试图解决合作研究的内在矛盾，并就其政治潜力提出有用的建议。
