  1. Cumulative change in scientific production: Research technologies and the structuring of new knowledge.Joseph Howard Spear - 2004 - Perspectives on Science 12 (1):55-85.
    : This paper seeks to contribute to the development of a sociological understanding of scientific change. It first presents a conceptual framework for defining and understanding the conditions that give rise to episodes of cumulative change (both as the selective reconstruction of events and as the patterned structuring of innovations over time and across different settings). It argues that one of the most powerful structuring mechanisms is the existence of standardized research technologies. Then, the development of electroencephalography (EEG) is presented (...)

  • Artisanal knowledge.Diederick Raven - 2013 - Acta Baltica Historiae Et Philosophiae Scientiarum 1 (1):5-34.
    This essay is about the ensuing problem that in general it is nothelpful to talk about non-standard knowledge practices as modeled after our Western ideas of what knowledge is. It negotiates this problem by arguing that artisanal knowledge is an independent and self-contained mode of knowledge and is arranged in three parts. In the first part an outline is given of the key assumptions of the interactionist conception of knowledge that needs to be put in place as an alternative to (...)

  • Ontological Porcupine: The Road to Hegemony and Back in Science Studies.Richard W. Hadden & Michael A. Overington - 1996 - Perspectives on Science 4 (1):1-23.
    This article examines various positions within science studies on scientific hegemony. After discussing the work of Stephan Fuchs and the “ epistemological chicken” debate, it proceeds to take issue with the claim that science is both locally accomplished and hegemonic. It offers the suggestion that critical accounts would better reconsider the ethos of their audience rather than simply worry about the objectivism of their own representations of science.

  • Goethe and the Molecular Aesthetic.Maura C. Flannery - 2005 - Janus Head 8 (1):273-289.
    I argue here that Goethe's "delicate empiricism" is not an alternative approach to science, but an approach that scientists use consistently, though they usually do not label it as such. I further contend that Goethe's views are relevant to today's science, specifically to work on the structure of macromolecules such as proteins. Using the work of Agnes Arber, a botanist and philosopher of science, I will show how her writings help to relate Goethe's work to present-day issues of cognition and (...)

  • Hacking genomes. The ethics of open and rebel biology.Alessandro Delfanti - 2011 - International Review of Information Ethics 15 (9):52-57.
    A new open science culture is emerging within the current system of the life sciences. This culture mixes an ethic of sharing with features such as anti-bureaucracy rebellion, hedonism, search for profit. It is a recombination of an old culture, the Mertonian ethos of modern open science, and a new one: the hacker ethic. This new culture has an important role in the evolving relationship between science and society. And it maintains a political ambivalence. Biohackers are rebel scientists and open (...)
