本文旨在深入剖析布鲁诺·拉图尔技术思想中物质力量与人类能动性之间的内在张力，以回应当前传播学“物质性转向”中理解“人—物关系”的理论需求。拉图尔的技术理论包含两条关键线索：其一聚焦于人类意图如何通过“设计与铭写”被注入技术物；其二则诉诸“广义对称性原则”，强调物自身的能动性。拉图尔借由“准客体”与“杂合行动者”等概念在统一框架内整合了二者的张力，超越了技术决定论与社会建构论的局限，然而其后期为建立规范性技术政治而转向“设计哲学”，不可避免地重新将人类意图置于优先地位，使其对称性原则暴露出内在矛盾。针对这一难题，后现象学与批判建构主义分别从“对称性”和“批判性”维度进行回应，虽切中肯綮地揭示了ANT的理论局限性，却也承认了该解释框架的有效性。通过梳理这一思想脉络，本文试图提供一套描述性与启发性工具，以更深刻地理解媒介技术作为“意图载体”与“能动参与者”的双重属性。
Abstract：Addressing the material turn in Communication Studies,this article examines the tension between material power and human agency in Bruno Latour’s philosophy of technology.It traces two key threads in Latour’s work:the embedding of human intention via design and inscription,and the principle of generalized symmetry emphasizing object agency.While concepts like “quasi-objects” allow Latour to bridge the subject-object divide,his later shift toward a philosophy of design re-privileges human intention,creating internal contradictions.Postphenomenology and Critical Constructivism respond to this dilemma;while pinpointing ANT’s limitations,they fundamentally affirm the validity of its explanatory framework.Tracing this trajectory,the article offers heuristic tools to understand media technology’s dual nature as both “intention carrier” and “active participant”.
