Laboratory Life by Bruno Latour
The Construction of Scientific Facts
This seminal work offers an insightful ethnographic exploration into the inner workings of a scientific laboratory, challenging traditional perceptions of scientific practice. It delves into the daily routines, social interactions, and cultural norms that shape the production of scientific knowledge. By observing the laboratory as a microcosm of broader societal processes, the book reveals how scientific facts are constructed through a complex interplay of human actions, negotiations, and material artifacts, ultimately questioning the objectivity and neutrality often attributed to scientific endeavors.
