大意就是讲clark’的理论在两个领域里有深远影响:technological determinism and social constructivism. Clark 是属于TD一派,他认为技术对job skills and work org. 有决定意义。而Braverman - SC 一派,认为技术只是各个利益关系之间协商的结果,就是把各个interest partie's interest融合到用技术,设备设计中体现出来。(其实就是work org 决定技术)


然后就讲SC 给大众一个对TD的错误认识,而得到了广泛认同。然后第三段讲了Clark 的理论中是怎样驳斥SC 一派的。

Q25 to Q28:

Jon Clark’s study of the effect of

the modernization of a telephone

exchange on exchange maintenance

Line  work and workers is a solid contribution

(5)    to a debate that encompasses two

lively issues in the history and social-

ogy of technology: technological

determinism and social constructivism.

Clark makes the point that the char-

(10)   acteristics of a technology have a

decisive influence on job skills and

work organization. Put more strongly,

technology can be a primary determinant

of social and managerial organ-

(15)   ization. Clark believes this possibility

has been obscured by the recent sociological

fashion, exemplified by

Braverman’s analysis, that emphasizes

the way machinery reflects social

(20)   choices. For Braverman, the shape of

a technological system is subordinate

to the manager’s desire to wrest control

of the labor process from the

workers. Technological change is

(25)   construed as the outcome of negotiations

among interested parties who

seek to incorporate their own interests

into the design and configuration of the

machinery. This position represents

(30)   the new mainstream called social constructivism.

The constructivists gain acceptance

by misrepresenting technological determinism:

technological determinists are

(35)   supposed to believe, for example, that

machinery imposes appropriate forms

of order on society. The alternative to

constructivism, in other words, is to

view technology as existing outside

(40)   society, capable of directly influencing

skills and work organization.

Clark refutes the extremes of the

constructivists by both theoretical and

empirical arguments. Theoretically he

(45)   defines “technology” in terms of relationships

between social and technical

variables. Attempts to reduce the

meaning of technology to cold, hard

metal are bound to fail, for machinery

(50)   is just scrap unless it is organized

functionally and supported by appropriate

systems of operation and main-

tenance. At the empirical level Clark

shows how a change at the telephone

(55)   exchange from maintenance-intensive

electromechanical switches to semielectronic

switching systems altered

work tasks, skills, training opportunities,

administration, and organization of

(60)   workers. Some changes Clark attributes

to the particular way management

and labor unions negotiated the introduction

of the technology, whereas

others are seen as arising from the

(65)   capabilities and nature of the technology

itself. Thus Clark helps answer

the question: “When is social choice

decisive and when are the concrete

characteristics of technology more

important?”

27题好多争论啊


我做题的时候感觉文章完全没有看懂


现在GWD的阅读总是最后两篇问题比较多,尤其是做到后半部分时间紧张了,要是文章一长点,读到后面就搞不清楚文章的结构,那么做题肯定晕菜!!


谢谢valarie结构分析!

Some changes Clark attributes to the particular way management and labor unions negotiated the introduction of the technology, whereas others are seen as arising from the capabilities and nature of the technology itself.


这句是有点别扭,some changes有点突兀,可能是一种倒装句式,有点像口语了,不是很懂。


但意思还是清楚的:Clark将某些改变归因于管理层和工会协商引进技术的特殊协商方式,而其他改变则......。主语是Clark, 谓语是attributes.
