[1] 可识别性(legibility)也称易读性,是政治学家詹姆斯·斯科特1999年提出的概念。对于纷繁复杂的社会,国家需要一些能收紧视野的工具,让社会事实变得可测量、可追踪,如土地造册、人口出生记录、确定的姓氏、政府可以理解的货币等等。这种可以一定的测量方式提取信息的状态就是可识别性。詹姆斯·斯科特认为,可识别性是国家实现统治的基础,国家以此实现征税、征兵、平定叛乱等。参见James Scott, Seeing like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed, Yale University Press, 1999, pp.1~11。
