Pour un dialogue entre Science politique et Science Studies
Revue Francaise de Science Politique, 2008Co-Authors: Bruno LatourAbstract:Les deux disciplines de Science politique et de Science Studies utilisent toutes deux les mots de « politique » et de « Science », mais dans des sens qui semblent incommensurables. L’article propose d’expliquer aux spécialistes des Sciences politiques l’emploi quelque peu inhabituel qui est fait de ces termes par les praticiens des études sur les Sciences, de façon à établir un dialogue entre les deux disciplines. Il montre en particulier qu’un seul des sens du mot « Science » (sur quatre) suppose une coupure radicale entre Science et politique (qui peut prendre six sens). Cet effort de clarification effectué permettrait d’abandonner l’idée qu’il existe deux domaines distincts (la Science et la politique) et permettrait aux disciplines de collaborer en qualifiant les différents stades des affaires (les issues) qui forment la vraie substance des Sciences aussi bien que des politiques.

For a Dialogue between Political Science and Science Studies
2008Co-Authors: Bruno LatourAbstract:The two disciplines of political Science and Science Studies both use the words “politics” and “Science”, and yet their meaning are so different that they seem incommensurable : an effort is made to explain to political scientists the various uses of those words as it is used by the Science Studies practitioners and how they could relate to political Science properly speaking. The paper shows that only one meaning (out of four) of the word “Science” does actually distinguish it in a radical way from “politics” (which may take six different meanings). Once those meanings have been circumscribed, instead of defining distinct domains of Science and politics, a more fruitful collaboration between Science Studies and political Science could be developed around the following of issues.

How to Talk About the Body? the Normative Dimension of Science Studies:
Body & Society, 2004Co-Authors: Bruno LatourAbstract:Science Studies has been often against the normative dimension of epistemology, which made a naturalistic study of Science impossible. But this is not to say that a new type of normativity cannot be detected at work in Science Studies. This is especially true in the second wave of Studies dealing with the body which has been aiming at criticizing the physicalisation of the body without falling nonetheless in the various traps of a phenomenology simply added to a physical substrate. This paper explores the work of Isabelle Stengers and Vinciane Despret in that respect and show how it can be used to rethink the articulation between the various levels that make up a body.

The Impact of Science Studies on Political Philosophy
Science Technology & Human Values, 1991Co-Authors: Bruno LatourAbstract:The development of Science Studies has an important message for political theory. This message has not yet been fully articulated. It seems that the Science Studies field is often considered as the extension of politics to Science. In reality, case Studies show that it is a redefinition of politics that we are witnessing in the laboratories. To the political representatives (elected by humans) should be added the scientific representatives (spokespersons of nonhumans). Thanks to a book by Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer, it is possible to reconstruct the origin of this divide between the two sets of representatives. A definition of modernism is offered. Then the article explains how to interpret the shift to "nonmodernism, " that is, a historical period when the two branches of politics get together again.

surface Science Studies of gas sensing materials sno2
Sensors, 2006Co-Authors: Matthias BatzillAbstract:This review is an attempt to give an overview on how surface Science Studies can contribute to a fundamental understanding of metal oxide gas sensors. In here tin dioxide is used as a model system for metal oxide gas sensor materials and we review surface Science Studies of single crystal SnO2. The composition, structure, electronic and chemical properties of the (110) and (101) surfaces is described. The influence of compositional changes as a function of the oxygen chemical potential on the electronic surface structure and the chemical properties is emphasized on the example of the (101) surface. The surface chemical properties are discussed on the example of water adsorption. It is shown the chemical and gas sensing properties depend strongly on the surface composition.

The question of subjectivity in three emerging feminist Science Studies frameworks: Feminist postcolonial Science Studies, new feminist materialisms, and queer ecologies
Women's Studies International Forum, 2014Co-Authors: Landon SchnabelAbstract:Synopsis This paper explores the question of subjectivity, of who or what counts as a subject, bringing three feminist Science Studies frameworks into dialogue: feminist postcolonial Science Studies, new feminist materialisms, and queer ecologies. As critical frameworks, each challenges Western modernity and marginalizing exceptionalisms, hierarchies, and binaries, calling for a more inclusive subjectivity. However, they diverge on whether they seek to finish the humanist project and extend subjectivity to all humans or move to post-humanism and question the very notion of subjectivity. Feminist postcolonial Science Studies challenges the Western/Non-Western divide of subjectivity, queer ecologies challenges the human/non-human divide, and new feminist materialisms challenges the life/nonlife divide. In their calls for greater inclusivity, the frameworks move expansively from subjectivity located in all human life, to subjectivity in all life, to subjectivity—if there is such an individually located thing—in matter. I argue that bringing these perspectives into dialogue is useful methodologically and politically.

in the beginning was economic geography a Science Studies approach to disciplinary history
Progress in Human Geography, 2001Co-Authors: Trevor J BarnesAbstract:Science Studies are an increasingly prominent interdisciplinary body of work. Now a diverse literature, one of its most consistent and common themes is a reluctance to accept the standard model of scientific explanation (‘internalism’) that conceives scientific knowledge, and the disciplines with which it is associated, as the product of a rationality that is progressively realized over time. Instead, Science Studies emphasize the importance of local circumstances in shaping knowledge, which, in turn, makes such knowledge messy and context-dependent. The purposes of this paper are twofold. The first is to provide a selective review of Science Studies. In particular, the paper recognizes three subtraditions within the larger genre: Mertonian institutionalism, the sociology of scientific knowledge, and cultural Studies of Science. The second purpose is to begin developing a case study in order to apply such literature, that of the institutional origins of economic geography during the late nineteenth and ea...
