  • The Body Multiple

    Ontology in Medical Practice

    par Annemarie Mol, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    The Body Multiple is an extraordinary ethnography of an ordinary disease. Drawing on fieldwork in a Dutch university hospital, Annemarie Mol looks at the day-to-day diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. A patient information leaflet might describe atherosclerosis as the gradual obstruction of the arteries, but in hospital practice this one medical condition appears to be many other things. ...

  • How Economics Became a Mathematical Science

    par E. Roy Weintraub, Barbara Herrnstein Smith ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    In How Economics Became a Mathematical Science E. Roy Weintraub traces the history of economics through the prism of the history of mathematics in the twentieth century. As mathematics has evolved, so has the image of mathematics, explains Weintraub, such as ideas about the standards for accepting proof, the meaning of rigor, and the nature of the mathematical enterprise itself. He also shows how ... En savoir plus

  • The Mangle in Practice

    Science, Society, and Becoming

    par Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub, Adrian Franklin ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    In The Mangle of Practice (1995), the renowned sociologist of science Andrew Pickering argued for a reconceptualization of research practice as a “mangle,” an open-ended, evolutionary, and performative interplay of human and non-human agency. While Pickering’s ideas originated in science and technology studies, this collection aims to extend the mangle’s reach by exploring its application across a ... En savoir plus

  • Tissue Economies

    Blood, Organs, and Cell Lines in Late Capitalism

    par Catherine Waldby, Robert Mitchell, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    As new medical technologies are developed, more and more human tissues—such as skin, bones, heart valves, embryos, and stem cell lines—are stored and distributed for therapeutic and research purposes. The accelerating circulation of human tissue fragments raises profound social and ethical concerns related to who donates or sells bodily tissue, who receives it, and who profits—or does not—from the ...

  • Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China

    Plurality and Synthesis

    par Volker Scheid, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    As a traditional healing art that has established a contemporary global presence, Chinese medicine defies categories and raises many interesting questions. If Chinese medicine is "traditional," why has it not disappeared with the rest of traditional Chinese society? If, as some claim, it is a science, what does that imply about what we call science? What is the secret of Chinese medicine's ... En savoir plus

  • Growing Explanations

    Historical Perspectives on Recent Science

    par Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub, Peter Galison, Amy Dahan Dalmedico ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    For much of the twentieth century scientists sought to explain objects and processes by reducing them to their components—nuclei into protons and neutrons, proteins into amino acids, and so on—but over the past forty years there has been a marked turn toward explaining phenomena by building them up rather than breaking them down. This collection reflects on the history and significance of this ... En savoir plus

  • Complexities

    Social Studies of Knowledge Practices

    par Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    Although much recent social science and humanities work has been a revolt against simplification, this volume explores the contrast between simplicity and complexity to reveal that this dichotomy, itself, is too simplistic. John Law and Annemarie Mol have gathered a distinguished panel of contributors to offer—particularly within the field of science studies—approaches to a theory of complexity, ... En savoir plus

  • Science without Laws

    Model Systems, Cases, Exemplary Narratives

    par Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    Physicists regularly invoke universal laws, such as those of motion and electromagnetism, to explain events. Biological and medical scientists have no such laws. How then do they acquire a reliable body of knowledge about biological organisms and human disease? One way is by repeatedly returning to, manipulating, observing, interpreting, and reinterpreting certain subjects—such as flies, mice, ... En savoir plus

  • The Provocative Joan Robinson

    The Making of a Cambridge Economist

    par Nahid Aslanbeigui, Guy Oakes, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    One of the most original and prolific economists of the twentieth century, Joan Robinson (1903–83) is widely regarded as the most important woman in the history of economic thought. Robinson studied economics at Cambridge University, where she made a career that lasted some fifty years. She was an unlikely candidate for success at Cambridge. A young woman in 1930 in a university dominated by men, ... En savoir plus

  • Evolution's Eye

    A Systems View of the Biology-Culture Divide

    par Susan Oyama, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    In recent decades, Susan Oyama and her colleagues in the burgeoning field of developmental systems theory have rejected the determinism inherent in the nature/nurture debate, arguing that behavior cannot be reduced to distinct biological or environmental causes. In Evolution’s Eye Oyama elaborates on her pioneering work on developmental systems by spelling out that work’s implications for the ... En savoir plus

  • Genes in Development

    Re-reading the Molecular Paradigm

    par Barbara Herrnstein Smith, E. Roy Weintraub ...
    Collections series Science and Cultural Theory
    In light of scientific advances such as genomics, predictive diagnostics, genetically engineered agriculture, nuclear transfer cloning, and the manipulation of stem cells, the idea that genes carry predetermined molecular programs or blueprints is pervasive. Yet new scientific discoveries—such as rna transcripts of single genes that can lead to the production of different compounds from the same ... En savoir plus

  • Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory

    par Brian Rotman, Andrew Pickering ...
    Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory is a unique collection of essays dealing with the intersections between science and mathematics and the radical reconceptions of knowledge, language, proof, truth, and reality currently emerging from poststructuralist literary theory, constructivist history and sociology of science, and related work in contemporary philosophy.
