1. 由於現今文本多探討「已知物種」,並未探討「未知物種」,因此本研究提議,將此一問題放到蓋婭理論與多物種女性主義的討論裡頭,重拾那些斷裂的社會關係與生態勾連,藉以呈現出未知物種的主體性與能動力。更重要的是,與未知物種保持著連結與差異,將其納入政治議程裡頭,能夠重新思考一個「與未知物種的多物種結盟政治」。
2. 新物質主義強調了「多重的視角」,然而這並不代表,單一/特定物種的觀點不重要,尤其這很容易錯失許多關鍵機制。因此,本研究嘗試把賽伯格與關鍵物種的概念結合起來,並認為這樣的關鍵角色,能夠為民主實踐帶來新的行動方針與策略。
3. 除了行動、實踐與策略之外,知識體系也必須重新審視。本研究認為,一個「可活的行星世界」不只得仰賴行動層面的作用,也得仰賴整個知識體系的解殖。換言之,本研究提議的是一種「一個解殖的社會學與女性主義」,其避免歐洲中心主義或人類中心主義的霸權觀點,並期許學科的研究能夠重視其他物種,尤其是未知物種。
透過以上的論述,本研究相信,一個「解殖的社會學想像」,不僅有助於挑戰傳統的西方中心主義觀點,也推動了多元文化和知識體系的重現:重點不是,它給了我們虛構的烏托邦幻想,而是讓我們可以推測、預判、猜測、假設或揮發創意,探索出行動與策略的無限可能性,並讓我們更關注和探討這些基層社群的實踐和策略,也為他們的行動提供理論上的意義。
1. Since existing research often explores "known species," not "unknown species," this study proposes placing this issue within the discussions of Gaia theory and multispecies feminism, thereby reclaiming the fractured social relations and ecological connections to present the subjectivity and agency of unknown species. More importantly, maintaining both connection and difference with unknown species and incorporating them into the political agenda allows for the rethinking of a "multispecies alliance politics with unknown species."
2. New materialism emphasizes "multiple perspectives," but this does not mean that the views of single or specific species are unimportant, especially since this could easily overlook many critical mechanisms. Therefore, this study attempts to combine the concepts of cyborgs and keystone species, arguing that such key roles can bring new guidelines and strategies to democratic practices.
3. Beyond actions, practices, and strategies, the knowledge system must also be re-examined. This study posits that a "livable planetary world" relies not only on the effectiveness of actions but also on the decoloniality of the knowledge system. In other words, the study proposes a "decolonized sociology and feminism" that avoids Eurocentrism or anthropocentric hegemonic views and aspires to research that values other species, especially unknown species.
Through the above discussion, this study believes that a "decolonized sociological imagination" not only helps challenge traditional Western-centric perspectives but also promotes the reemergence of multiculturalism and knowledge systems: the key is not that it gives us fictitious utopian fantasies, but that it allows us to speculate, anticipate, guess, hypothesize, or unleash creativity, exploring infinite possibilities for actions and strategies, while paying greater attention to and discussing the practices and strategies of grassroots communities, providing theoretical significance to their actions.
