Abstract
In the 2020 Prague Virtual Conference of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), Sharon Traweek was awarded the society’s John D. Bernal Prize jointly with Langdon Winner, for her distinguished contributions to the field of STS. In this essay responding to Traweek’s Bernal Lecture, I explore the continuing relevance of her work for Japan’s STS community. Even though this community has grown rapidly since the beginning of the 2000s, I argue in this essay that her work, produced more than three decades ago, encourages us today to reflect how we may want to relate ourselves to the local organization of science and the politics of epistemic authority in the country.
在2020年布拉格科学社会研究学会(4S)虚拟会议上,Sharon Traweek与Langdon Winner共同获得了该学会的John D. Bernal奖,以表彰她在STS领域的杰出贡献。在这篇回应Traweek的Bernal讲座的文章中,我探讨了她的工作对日本STS社区的持续相关性。尽管这个群体自21世纪初以来迅速发展,但我在这篇文章中认为,她三十多年前的工作,鼓励我们今天反思,我们可能希望如何将自己与当地的科学组织和国家的认知权威政治联系起来。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
