From Access to Sovereign Science
This article examines the political economy of technoscientific promises in peripheral contexts, focusing on the often-overlooked question of promise fulfilment. Drawing on Argentina's COVID-19 vaccine shortage, it explores how futures imagined through science and technology are shaped by scarcity and power asymmetries—constraining both promises and delivery. Amid a health emergency, national limitations, and a global vaccine race that sidelined …
Steering the wheel to deliver what? Innovation, coalitions, and directionality in Latin American biologics
This paper analyzes the functioning and delivery capacities of the biologics for human health innovation systems in Latin America through the cases of Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. Using the Sectoral Systems of Innovation (SSI) framework, we analyse the systems’ structural characteristics—actors, institutions, and interrelations—enriched by a political economy perspective. We show that variations in SSI among these countries stem from tensions…
Lab in the slum. Reassembling methods, institutions, spaces, and identities in Rosario, Argentina
How to invent methodologies with scarce resources to face structural poverty? This paper narrates a journey of discomfort and displacement, forging unexplored trails and seeking meaning in a process of knowledge-making and praxis. It begins with a laboratory set up in a makeshift tent and second-hand equipment in the heart of a precarious neighborhood in Argentina’s third-largest city, aimed to support underserved households lacking formal drinki…
Promesas periféricas
Las vacunas covid-19 se volvieron la gran promesa para enfrentar la crisis sanitaria, incluyendo en la periferia global. Este trabajo analiza la construcción y movilización de promesas tecnocientíficas para garantizar el acceso a las vacunas en Argentina. Basado en el análisis de notas periodísticas y entrevistas, en un abordaje en coproducción con los estudios sociales de la ciencia y la tecnología, se analizan coaliciones de actores clave, prom…
Las Políticas de CTI en la Provincia de Santa Fe (1983-2023)
Este trabajo analiza la emergencia y consolidación de las Políticas de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (PCTI) en la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, entre 1983 y 2023, enfocándose en su diseño e implementación para enfrentar desafíos regionales y promover el desarrollo socioeconómico. La trayectoria se periodiza en cinco etapas: recuperación democrática (1983-2007), jerarquización (2007-2011), institucionalización y proyectos estratégicos (2011…
Nuevas herramientas para analizar dinámicas de participación en proyectos de desarrollo local
Introducción: Actualmente, en la literatura especializada existe un extendido consenso sobre la necesidad de democratizar el conocimiento en la toma de decisiones tecno-cognitivas. En particular, se cuestiona que los mecanismos de participación se transforman en ejercicios utilizados para legitimar decisiones preexistentes. Esto da cuenta de la necesidad de construir nuevas herramientas para analizar las dinámicas participativas en proyectos y te…
Conocimientos, utilidad social y políticas públicas para la inclusión y sustentabilidad
En este artículo analizamos las dinámicas de coproducción de conocimiento entre actores heterogéneos, políticas públicas y utilidad social de la I+D orientada a generar soluciones a problemáticas de relevancia social, ambiental y sanitaria. Frente al desafío de direccionar la producción científico-tecnológica y su uso, se ha dado en los últimos años un “giro participativo” en un esfuerzo por involucrar a la sociedad en la construcción y toma de d…
Parasites, bugs and banks
This paper analyses how recent STI policies in Argentina addressed the problem of transforming biomedical knowledge into solutions to priority healthcare problems and inequalities. It examines the Sectoral Technology Innovation Fund for Health and a specific project call aimed at congenital Chagas disease diagnosis. Conceived to foster systemic innovation dynamics, ‘Sectoral Funds’ were praised as a representative instrument within a regional pol…
Shaping stem cell therapies in Argentina
This paper aims to analyze innovation pathways for stem cell technology in Argentina. Firstly, we present a theoretical perspective on the co-construction of regulation and technology development, positing four main tensions that underlie regulatory building and the shaping of national strategies for regenerative medicine. Regulation is understood as a negotiated process among interests, values, benefits, rewards, and different understandings of …
Global Diversification in Medicine Regulation
Medicine regulation worldwide has undergone a process of regulatory diversification. The evidence-based medicine (EBM) paradigm, centered on multi-phase randomized controlled trials, is increasingly contested and replaced by new models of clinical validation. To explain these changes, STS research has cited just a few factors, e.g. growing pressure form health consumers; the role of pharmaceutical companies to lobby for fast, affordable drug deve…
Biotechnologies for inclusive development
This paper analyses how technological and institutional innovation strategies were deployed towards achieving a high-scale, sustainable, knowledge intensive, locally grounded project, through the experience of an Argentinean biotechnology-based nutritional supplement delivered in schools to solve child malnutrition led diseases. The paper focuses on how the case of ‘Yogurito’ managed to address three challenges within recent Innovation for Inclus…
