Intralude -- A theoretical and methodological intralude -- Intra-action and doing science : experiments, people, and technology -- Re-visioning scientific practice through the ACCBR -- What can you do in, to, and with a university? -- Science and/as development -- Globalizing bioscience and/as biocapital -- Concluding: Lessons from an open concept lab -- Appendix 1: A parable on changing assumptions, or, How to approximate agential realism -- Appendix 2: Fieldwork in the academy, and the ethics of ethics.
"Charting the rise and fall of an experimental biomedical facility at a North American university, Culturing Bioscience offers a fascinating glimpse into scientific culture and the social and political context in which that culture operates. Krautwurst nests the discussion of scientific culture within a series of levels from the lab to the global political economy. In the process he explores a number of topics, including: the social impact of technology; researchers' relationships with sophisticated equipment; what scientists actually do in a laboratory; what role science plays in the contemporary university; and the way bioscience interacts with local, regional, and global governments. The result is a rich case study that illustrates a host of contemporary issues in the social study of science."--Publisher's description.
