摘要: In this paper we trace some of the key points in history Science and Technology Studies (STS). particular outline inherently political dynamics field. Against We underline two emerging patterns curse STS: one “depoliticisation” increasing “engagement”. address case study nanotechnologies discuss their intertwined with STS. This allows us to point at risk that institutionalisation STS mandate frames stabilizes field’s relationship technological developments would create a void. conclude research is crossroads. It facing an important empirical turn, which may deprive it from its significance, constantly redefine institutional constraints. has continuously question underlying assumptions (as occurs more regarding public participation) make explicit.
