What? The framework

European Master in Science, Society and Technology at UM

What? The issue

Empirical observations: a team «negotiating» a microscope

Theoretical framework = Trading zone

a social, material, and intellectual mortar binding together the disunified

traditions of experimenting, theorizing and instrument building (Galison, 1997)

A point : while setting up the microscope, the team was actively generating a sense of unity among its members

(6)

How? The Method

Unintended paper, loose methodology, few

preparation (esp. recordings)

For the record, I litteraly sold my body for science

Constant travels back and forth between data, numerous meetings and brainstorming sessions with Maria

(7)

How? The Contrast

A solution that "spontaneously" emerged: contrast acts with discourses

Act of setting up a SP5, each scientist after the other: thick description

(8)

How? Point out to

discourses

Manifold and complex discourses on the reasons to do so: threefold repertoire of discourse

Scientific: best knowledge + culture of bricolage

"If you don’t need all the fancy stuff from this machine,why should you use it ?"

Economic: expensiveness, competition issue (broken lens)

Strategic: easy publication path and positioning

(9)

How? Eventually,

grounded

In the spirit, not the letter, fairly similar to Grounded Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967)

Constructivist uptake on it (Charmaz, 2005; Charmaz & Bryant, 2007) - interpretation

Way to classify and sort out a (usually massive amount of) data (Bowker & Star, 1999)

Label issues from data and create categories, then structure it so that paths emerge

(10)

Economic

Strategic Scientific

SP5

Make sense, locate and understand collaborative work which increasingly shape scientific practices
