健康码在新冠肺炎疫情期间被运用于风险人群的社会流动轨迹追踪,成为疫情常态化背景下社会秩序治理的数据基础设施。本文运用批判性技术话语分析方法,研究了疫情追踪技术是如何被建构起来并且体制化的,文化、政治和经济等结构性因素如何影响了健康码在中国社会中的“发明”、接受和运用,并且嵌入人们的日常生活。本文认为,健康码是一种偶然产生的多因素共同作用的技术工件,但也经历了漫长的技术积累,二维码、全球地理定位信息系统和云计算集纳于智能手机上,为健康码的产生提供了技术条件。政府、平台和社会共同建构了健康码的驯化网络。政府主导了健康码的知识生产和话语表达,运用自身的权威使健康码的使用成为一种防疫制定要求。平台提供了带宽、算法、管理、API接口等维系健康码运转的资源,通过软件设计和市场策略保证了健康码的创新性和稳定性,承担了平台的社会责任。
<<During the new crown pneumonia epidemic,the health code was used to track the social movement of at-risk groups and became a data infrastructure for the governance of social order in the context of the normalization of the epidemic. This study uses critical technical discourse analysis methods to study how epidemic tracking technology is constructed and institutionalized,and how cultural,political,and economic structural factors affect the “invention”,acceptance,and acceptance of health codes in Chinese society. Use and embed in people’s daily life. Studies have found that the health code is an accidental technical artifact with multiple factors that work together. However,it has also experienced a long accumulation of technology. The QR code,global geographic positioning information system and cloud computing are integrated on the smart phone,which is the health code. The production provides technical conditions. The government,platform and society have jointly constructed a domestication network of health codes. The government dominates the knowledge production and discourse expression of the health code,and uses its own authority to make the use of the health code a social system. The platform provides resources to maintain the operation of the health code,such as bandwidth,algorithms,management,and API interfaces,and ensures the innovation and stability of the health code through software design and market strategies,and assumes the social responsibility of the platform.
