Description

Explore the complex relationships between scientific advancement and social structures with Mapping the Dynamics of Science and Technology. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this academic text provides a deep look into the sociology of science within real-world contexts. Through a collection of scholarly perspectives, the book examines how scientific facts are constructed and how texts influence technological progress. It features significant contributions from renowned scholars such as M. Callon, J. Law, B. Latour, and F. Bastide. Readers will gain insights into actor-network theory through specific case studies like the electric vehicle, as well as the role of laboratories and the mobilization of resources via scientific documentation. This work is designed for students and researchers in anthropology, sociology, and the history of science. By analyzing the process of reality construction through socio-semiotic methods, the text offers a framework for understanding how science functions as a social force. It serves as a comprehensive guide for those studying the power of texts and the heterogeneity of scientific communication in modern society.
