摘要
一直以来,生物库几乎都包含着国际合作以及国家和地区之间的知识、数据和物质材料之间的运输往来.然而,中西方新自由主义和社会主义,现代和传统在文化、经济、历史和政治方面的不同常被静态地运用在亚洲和欧洲的组织取样和生物库维护的相关讨论中.我们以更广阔的视野审视时,就会发现,将生物库局限在这种静态、对立的情境时,很难真正了解其跨国界的动态性.来自印度、印度尼西亚、日本和中国的案例分析显示:只有在全球化的大背景下,参考当地的特殊情况,查看一个个生物库,我们才能理解生物库过程涉及的交易空间和跨地区、跨国家的运输.
Abstract
Biobanking almost always involves international collaboration and the traffic of knowledge,data and materials between countries and regions.Nevertheless,problems related to tissue sampling and the maintenance of biobanks in Asia and Europe are usually explained in static terms of cultural,economic,historical and political dichotomies between the West and China,neo—liberalism and socialism,modern and traditional.A broader perspective shows that,when defined in such static opposites,the transnational dynamics of biobanks are hard to understand.But none of these contrasts by themselves are sufficient to understand the particular circumstances of biobanking issues that occur in specific locations.Examples from India,Indonesia,Japan and China show that only by situating the specific local situation of biobanks in their global contexts can we appreciate the transactional spaces and transnational traffic involved in biobanking.
