  • Credibility Engineering in the Food Industry

    Open AccessBart Penders, Annemiek P Nelis et al.ARTICLEScience in Context2011Citada por: 10Referencias: 33

    ArgumentWe expand upon the notion of the "credibility cycle" through a study of credibility engineering by the food industry. Research and development (R&D) as well as marketing contribute to the credibility of the food company Unilever and its claims. Innovation encompasses the development, marketing, and sales of products. These are directed towards three distinct audiences: scientific peers, regulators, and consumers. R&D uses scientific artic…

  • The Social Study of Corporate Science

    Open AccessBart Penders, John M A Verbakel et al.ARTICLEBulletin of Science Technology &…2009

    Laboratory ethnographies have provided valuable insights in the workings of contemporary science and technology and about facts in the making. Nearly all these ethnographic studies have been conducted at nonprofit research institutes. In this article, the authors argue that it is time for science and technology studies (STS) ethnography to direct its gaze toward for-profit knowledge production sites. The authors do so, based on a long-standing re…

  • Cancer genetics and its ‘different faces of autonomy’

    Open AccessDirk Stemerding, Annemiek NelisARTICLENew Genetics and Society2006

    In this article we discuss the development of a practice of screening, preventive treatment, and presymptomatic testing for individuals at risk of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), a specific hereditary predisposition for colon cancer. We describe this development as a process of co-evolution, showing how this practice has been gradually taking shape in a new network of actors, routines, rules, institutions and technologies. We further argue …

  • Regulating the gene

    Andrew Webster, Annemiek NelisARTICLEHealth Risk & Society1999

    In this article, we examine the changing terms on which genetics-based technologies in two areas agriculture (Genetically Modified Organism, GMOs) and health (genetic diagnostics) have been regulated. These are used to illustrate and examine the proposition that shifts in the politics of governance and regulation (associated in part with the advent of the negotiation state) have meant that the responsibility for the social management of new techn…

  • Managing genetic testing

    Open AccessAnnemiek NelisARTICLENew Genetics and Society1999

    Genetics is a field in which ethical and social problems have been most pressing. Despite this, new tests often are introduced almost immediately after the isolation of a new gene. Considerations of whether a particular test should be introduced at all seem to have little effect on the development and introduction of new tests. This paper explores how this lack of social and ethical assessment can be understood. In order to do so, the sociohistor…
