Knowledge and reflexivity - Steve Woolgar (Ed.)
new frontiers in the sociology of knowledge
KORTE INHOUD
Scholars working in the area broadly described as 'social studies of science' have convincingly demonstrated over the past decade that natural scientific knowledge is a product of social, cultural, historical and political processes. The contributors to this volume argue that it is high time that social science itself was seen as activity generated by those same forces.
They show that our understanding of the social science text benefits from a heightened appreciation of reflexivity - at its simplest, a term which connotes self-reflection and self-referral.
Nine chapters explore various kinds of reflexity and examine its wide-ranging implications of reflexivity for ethnography, discourse analysis, textual analysis, medical sociology and the sociology of science. A number of contributors - such as Trevor Pinch and Bruno Latour, are critical of certain kinds of reflexive practice. Each chapter is followed by a 'reflexion' which gives an unusual format to the book.
