D'une perspective « extrinsèque » en sociologie de la science
L'auteur critique d'abord la perspective qui a prévalu jusqu'à aujourd'hui chez les sociologues Américains des sciences et plus particulièrement chez R. K. Merton et ses étudiants qui est de considérer les sciences comme un vaste sous-système social autonome : un certain nombre d'évidences empiriques (correspondance entre valeurs et normes de la science et valeurs politiques, base " particulariste " du système de récompenses, rôles politico-scien…
Histories of cochlear implantation
The Rhetoric and Counter-Rhetoric of a "Bionic" Technology
Development of the cochlear implant, discussed in this article, depended vitally on deaf people being persuaded to undergo implantation. Media "reconstruction" of the device as the "bionic ear" was typically encouraged by implant pioneers. Unexpectedly, however, a "counter-rhetoric" based on a very different understanding of deafness emerged. With it, deaf people are slowly succeeding in gaining influence over the further deployment of the techno…
Technology, Science, and Obstetric Practice
The process of technological change in obstetrics must be understood as contingent on the exigencies of the professional project, rather than in terms simply of improvement or dehumanization of care. Transformation in the procedures by which the female pelvis and the fetal head have been measured illustrate this point. The development of new measurement techniques was profoundly influenced by the shifting locus of obstetric care and by changing p…
Social Science and Social Policy
The Theoretical Significance of Co-operative Research
The Social Direction of the Public Sciences
Explanation and Social Policy
Inequalities in rates of sickness and mortality between social groups has long been a matter of concern and of inquiry in Britain. Disciplinary differentiation has resulted in the problem now being treated within what have become three distinct intellectual traditions. These are social administration, epidemiology, and sociology, and the accounts they provide differ significantly from each other. This is partly because 'the' problem is somewhat d…

Perspectives in the Sociology of Science
Policy Studies and Social Policy in Britain
The recent debate about the establishment of a 'British Brookings' involved a number of fundamental issues which were not brought out. In fact the idea that the British policy-making process should be made more 'rational' through the development of what are sometimes called policy studies is not new. It has roots in the Heyworth Report on social studies, which recommended greater use of social research in policy-making, and in the Fulton Report o…
Toward a Political Sociology of Science
Policy as Theory
This paper is based on the view that since social science is concerned with the generation of codified knowledge of the social world its impact should be seen as principally upon other sets of ideas. It suggests that social policy may thus be conceptualized as an evolving sequence of concepts, theories and problems comparable with the cognitive development of science. At any time a variety of such 'paradigms' will be in competition. Embodiment of…
Toward a Science Policy for the Social Welfare Field / Sozialpolitik – Plädoyer für eine wissenschaftliche Strategie
Die Arbeit versucht, auf die Notwendigkeit und die wichtigsten Merkmale aufmerksam zu machen, die eine institutionell verankerte, wissenschaftlich-innovatorische Anleitung der Sozialpolitik betreffen. Daß Anleitung dieser Art „notwendig“ ist, folgt aus dem Umstand, daß die Mittel, die die Regierungen für sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung und technologische Entwicklung aufwenden, zunehmend steigen, die Ergebnisse aber, die sie bewirken, bisher - w…
