Metrology
This paper explores the recent suggestion that the universality of technoscience -its ability to bring facets of the world into the lab, and to move results achieved in the lab out into the world - is accomplished by expensive and labour-intensive metrological practices that have hitherto been overlooked in social studies of science. In three examples, this paper seeks to show how the appearance of universality is achieved, what resists this achi…
The Fine-Tuning of a Golden Ear
Some scientific claims are accepted as scientific facts while others are forgotten. Likewise, some artifacts and ideas leave recognizable descendents in the history of technology while others are short-lived. The development of science and technology, according to this weeding-out process, suggests an evolutionary model in which theories and artifacts survive if they meet certain constraints of their immediate environments. Real history, of cours…
