This collective discussion proposes a novel understanding of intelligence as a social phenomenon, taking place in a social space that increasingly involves actors and professional fields not immediately seen as part of intelligence This discussion is a response to the inherent functionalism in Intelligence Studies (IS) that conceives of intelligence as a cycle serving policymakers Instead, our interventions seek to problematize and break with this notion of the cycle and show what an alternative study of intelligence would look like In the first part of the discussion, we situate our intervention in the broader fields of IS and International Political Sociology Espousing a transdisciplinary approach, we build our four interventions as transversal lines cutting through a social space in which agents with differing stakes participate and reframe the meaning and practice of intelligence Intelligence professionals not only have to reckon with policymakers, but also increasingly with law enforcement agents, representatives from the science and technology sector, judges, lawyers, activists, and Internet users themselves Each move takes a step further away from the intelligence cycle by introducing new empirical sites, actors, and stakes

集体讨论：提出批判性的方法将智力作为一种社会现象

这次集体讨论提出了对作为一种社会现象的情报的新颖理解，这种情报发生在越来越多地涉及演员和专业领域的社会空间中，而这些领域并没有立即被视为情报的一部分。这种讨论是对情报研究（IS）内在的功能主义的回应。相反，我们的干预旨在对这种周期概念进行质疑和打破，并显示替代性的情报研究将是什么样子。在讨论的第一部分中，我们将干预放在更广阔的领域IS和国际政治社会学学院的研究采用跨学科方法，我们建立了四种干预措施，作为贯穿社会空间的横向线，不同利益主体参与其中，并重新构筑了情报的意义和实践。情报专业人员不仅必须与决策者一起考虑，而且还必须与执法部门，科学界的代表一起来应对和技术领域，法官，律师，活动家和互联网用户本身通过引入新的经验性网站，参与者和赌注，每一步距情报周期又一步之遥和互联网用户本身通过引入新的经验性网站，参与者和赌注，每一步都远离了情报周期和互联网用户本身通过引入新的经验性网站，参与者和赌注，每一步都远离了情报周期
