The New Political Sociology of Science: Institutions, Networks, and Power: Science and Technology in Society

Editat de Scott Frickel, Kelly Moore
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 aug 2015
In the twenty-first century, the production and use of scientific knowledge is more regulated, commercialized, and participatory than at any other time. The stakes in understanding those changes are high for scientist and nonscientist alike: they challenge traditional ideas of intellectual work and property and have the potential to remake legal and professional boundaries and transform the practice of research. A critical examination of the structures of power and inequality these changes hinge upon, this book explores the implications for human health, democratic society, and the environment.

Recenzii

“It’s rare that an anthology sparks a critical shift in thinking. The New Political Sociology of Science has synthesized science studies and other areas to generate an exciting approach that integrates both political-economic and cultural approaches to the politics of science. In doing so, it has become a foundation for a whole generation of scholarship.”—Phil Brown, Northeastern University

“The chapters . . . in this volume break new ground and attempt to develop descriptive and analytical frameworks that show the complex causes, interactions, and outcomes associated with increasing proprietary behavior of universities and links with the private sector.”—Contemporary Sociology

“This collection continues to profoundly influence STS scholarship, directing our attention to the importance of social movements and structural power relations in the construction of scientific knowledge. Taken as a whole, The New Political Sociology of Science makes a powerful case for re-focusing our research on sites of social, environmental, and economic struggle.”—Rebecca Lave, Indiana University
