Politización y desmantelamiento de capacidades de Ciencia y Tecnología en Venezuela
El Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (CTI) venezolano ha sufrido un deterioro notable en las últimos dos décadas. El artículo aborda las condiciones contextuales, contingencias nacionales e institucionales que han llevado a la actual situación. A partir de una breve descripción de la conformación de capacidades de CTI y de la institucionalización de la política, se analiza cómo la conflictividad política derivó en una degradaci…
Recuperación de una investigación pionera
Hace un tiempo recibimos en Quinto Sol un texto de la antropóloga argentina Hebe Vessuri, referido a la primera huelga del proletariado azucarero tucumano en 1904, elaborado en la década de 1970 junto a su esposo Santiago A. Bilbao, acompañado por el siguiente mensaje: "Al retipear estas páginas añejas, me dan ganas de darlas a conocer más ampliamente, aunque desconozco si se ha vuelto a trabajar el tema en el largo intervalo transcurrido. En tod…
Les agendas climatiques nationaux des pays non hégémoniques du Sud global
Cet article s'intéresse aux tensions scientifiques et politiques qu'engendre la construction des agendas climatiques et environnementaux nationaux dans les contextes du Sud global non hégémonique. On sait relativement peu de choses sur la manière dont les pays du Sud développent leur propre science du climat et sur la façon dont elle est mobilisée dans les politiques publiques. L'article met en évidence les difficultés scientifiques et politiques…
Las agendas climáticas nacionales de los países no hegémonicos del Sur global
Este articulo llama la atención sobre la diferencia entre los problemas expresados en modelos científicos sobre el cambio climático en el nivel global y aquellos vinculados con las políticas públicas a nivel nacional donde se expresan múltiples contradicciones e intereses que es preciso resolver tanto en beneficio de un país particular, como del planeta en su conjunto. Para ello consideramos someramente tres países latinoamericanos que, si bien r…

Personal bonds in the internationalization of the social sciences
Due to the interest in formal relationships at work or to the difficulty to define what personal means, personal bonds in the social sciences have been an understudied topic. Even less has been the interest in connecting such bonds with the internationalization of careers and knowledge. In this article, the authors aim at filling this gap by studying what role personal bonds have played in the internationalization of the social sciences in Latin …

Provincialising STS? A View from Latin America
The scientists of the IVIC in the evolution of science and technology policy during the Chávez administration in Venezuela
Hugo Chávez’s assumption of the presidency in late 1999 brought about major institutional change in Venezuela, and in its science and technology. Some authors speak of a breakage of the scientific community’s “social contract” with the state through the inroads of a new political bias or politicization, and of a replacement of decision-making among the scientific community traditionally responsible for the direction of science and technology poli…
Crises that mismatch canons in science
We may fully share Law and Lin’s view (2017) that it is as if reality had exploded in myriad fragments; from many quarters comes the argument that science has made rigid both similarities and diffe
Science and Technology in Development
This entry presents the dominant modes of thinking about science and technology in development relations, emphasizing that these categories are interlaced in complicated ways. There is no universal agreement on their synergistic value. The perspectives summarized here include the normative notion that science and technology can lead to development in Western modernity and the establishment of asymmetries in which Western science and technology pr…

After an introductory section containing some considerations on the maturation of and approaches to STS in the region, the paper delves into cognitive, institutional, political and social dimensions of the development of this field. It gives then some background, mentioning policies as drivers of knowledge generation, the institutionalization o…
Una transición temática en los estudios CTS
El mundo pareciera integrarse cada vez más con más oportunidades para la acción colectiva. Toda una serie de bienes públicos, como la paz mundial, la salud mundial, la protección del ambiente, el conocimiento global, tienen que ser protegidos porque si la comunidad global no los atiende colectivamente, es probable que no se conserven. Los grandes actores corporativos del presente concentran una porción importante de la riqueza del mundo; ellos pu…
A thematic transition in STS
The world seems to be increasingly integrated offering more opportunities for collective action. A whole series of public goods such as world peace, world health, the environment and global knowledge must be protected. Unless the international community attends to these goods collectively their survival may be jeopardised. A considerable share of the world's wealth is in the hands of large corporate stakeholders, who have the means of ensuring th…
Une transition thématique dans les STS
Le monde semble s'intégrer de plus en plus, ouvrant d'autant plus de possibilités d'actions collectives. Toute une série de biens publics tels que la paix mondiale, la santé, la protection de l'environnement, la connaissance globale, doivent être protégés parce que si la communauté internationale ne s'en occupe pas collectivement, il est probable qu'ils seront perdus. Les grands acteurs de l'entreprise concentrent une partie importante de la rich…
Global social science discourse
The relationship of social science and society is actively under discussion today in processes of social identity-making in the world at large. This article explores how, in different contexts, powerful institutions such as universities, disciplines, states, and more recently, a varied array of social movements struggle to define principles by which to determine which knowledge holders should be included, and on what terms, within social science.…
Cambios en las ciencias ante el impacto de la globalización
Que se entiende por globalizalizacion de la ciencia hoy? Si la globalizacion se puede pensar “como un proceso (o conjunto de procesos) que encarna una transformacion en la organizacion espacial de relaciones sociales y transformaciones —evaluadas en cuanto a su extension, intensidad, velocidad e impacto— generando flujos y redes transcontinentales o interregionales de actividades, interacciones y el ejercicio del poder” (Held et al. 1999, 33), en…

Excellence or quality? Impact of the current competition regime on science and scientific publishing in Latin America and its implications for development
The current competition regime that characterizes international science is often presented as a quest for excellence. It diversely affects research in Latin America and research in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. This article asks how this competition regime may orient the direction of research in Latin America, and to whose advantage. It is argued that, by relating excellence to quality differently, a…

Universities as Centres of Research and Knowledge Creation
Today, unprecedented emphasis is being placed on research as key motor for advancing the knowledge society and its offspring, the knowledge economy. Consequently, “research on the state of research” has moved high on the priority agendas for governments, for their specialized agencies and bodies devoted to this area, and for higher education institutions. Against this background, the central premise of the 2006 Global Colloquium of the UNESCO For…

The Social Study of Science in Latin America
Since World War II, scientific activity has grown significantly in Latin America, and with it there has been a modest development of the social study of science (SSS). This paper investigates the changing significance of the work of science planners and social thinkers with respect to the understanding of the social role of science in Latin America. On the basis of this study it is argued that, despite promising signs, institutional developments …

Enfermería de salud pública, modernización y cooperación internacional
A fines del siglo XIX, la enfermería en Venezuela estaba en manos de religiosas que atendían en centros de salud. En los años treinta era evidente que se necesitaba un nuevo modelo para formar enfermeras profesionales que elevara los estándares de la profesión. Sin embargo, el nivel inadecuado de educación con que llegaban las aspirantes y las exigencias de los servicios hospitalarios que buscaban una manera económica de llenar sus demandas, con …

Ethical Challenges for the Social Sciences on the Threshold of the 21st Century
The position of the social sciences vis-a-vis society and scientificity is revisited. Throughout the 20th century the idea that all peoples in the world are part of a single humankind made a painful progress. Its legacy includes a record of great illusions and of a tragic balance, marked by the unprecedented growth of the capacity of social intervention as a consequence of scientific-technical advancement. The capacity of critique, of imagining n…

Sociocultural Dimensions of Technological Learning
This paper discusses technological learning in the oil sector in Venezuela, with the help of a case study of ORIMULSION®, which heralded a very important techno logical breakthrough for the evolution of the nationalised oil industry in this country, being at the same time a challenge and an opportunity. The technological R&D policy for heavy and extra-heavy oils and bitumens of the Orinoco Oil Belt created the conditions for the domestic system o…

Latin American Catalysis
One of the ways scientists from the world peripheries can attempt to overcome isolation and lack of visibility is by networking and associating themselves at different aggregate levels, both nationally and internationally. Scientific meetings are specially apt grounds where scientists have a chance to make contacts and become more visible. Taking as its point of departure the fact that meetings constitute a pervasive yet neglected aspect of scien…
