Download or read book On Social Structure and Science written by Robert K. Merton and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-09-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert K. Merton is unarguably one of the most influential sociologists of his time. A figure whose wide-ranging theoretical and methodological contributions have become fundamental to the field, Merton is best known for introducing such concepts and procedures as unanticipated consequences, self-fulfilling prophecies, focused group interviews, middle-range theory, opportunity structure, and analytic paradigms. This definitive compilation encompasses the breadth and brilliance of his works, from the earliest to the most recent. Merton's foundational writings on social structure and process, on the sociology of science and knowledge, and on the discipline and trajectory of sociology itself are all powerfully represented, as are his autobiographical insights in a fascinating coda. Anchored by Piotr Sztompka's contextualizing introduction, Merton's vast oeuvre emerges as a dynamic and profoundly coherent system of thought, a constant source of vitality and renewal for present and future sociology.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the Sociology of the Sciences Yearbooks stems from our experience that collaborations between non-scientists and scientists, often initiated by scientists seeking greater social relevance for science, can be of major importance for cognitive development. It seemed to us that it would be useful to explore the conditions under which such collaborations affect scientific change and the nature of the processes involved. This book therefore focuses on a number of instances in which scientists and non-scientists were jointly involved in the genera tion of scientific results at the "interface" of science and society. Despite the considerable variety of cases reported here, a number of questions are central. Under what conditions do such cooperative processes occur? What perceptions of social relevance and what sorts of col laborations with non-scientific groups are involved? How is this collaboration achieved, and through what forums? How can insights into its conditions and mechanisms stabilize such cooperations over a longer period of time? If they are stabilized, do they really affect science, or do they mainly function to shield the rest of the science system against external influences? These questions are pertinent both to intellectual problems in the sociology of science and to the practical concerns of modern science policies. The significance of relations between knowledge producers and knowledge consumers and interest in how these relations affect science and society have changed considerably in recent decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment le savoir scientifique se constitue-t-il ? Y a-t-il des facteurs sociaux et culturels qui favorisent le développement des sciences ? Quelles institutions accompagnent ou freinent ce développement ? Comment travaillent les savants ? Comment valident-ils leurs connaissances ? Pourquoi y a-t-il des controverses ? En se penchant sur les rapports entre science et société, les sociologues des sciences ont interrogé la manière dont la connaissance scientifique se construit. Loin de la figure, tantôt fascinante, tantôt inquiétante, du savant travaillant seul dans son laboratoire, ils nous donnent à voir la recherche en sciences dures d’aujourd’hui comme étant essentiellement une entreprise collective, souvent transnationale.

This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science communication, as a multidisciplinary field, has developed remarkably in recent years. It is now a distinct and exceedingly dynamic science that melds theoretical approaches with practical experience. Formerly well-established theoretical models now seem out of step with the social reality of the sciences, and the previously clear-cut delineations and interacting domains between cultural fields have blurred. Communicating Science in Social Contexts examines that shift, which itself depicts a profound recomposition of knowledge fields, activities and dissemination practices, and the value accorded to science and technology. Communicating Science in Social Contexts is the product of long-term effort that would not have been possible without the research and expertise of the Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) Network and the editors. For nearly 20 years, this informal, international network has been organizing events and forums for discussion of the public communication of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Duverger at last provides the student with an overall view of the methodology of the social sciences. He briefly traces the origin of the notion of a social science, showing how it emerged from social philosophy. Its essential elements and pre-conditions are described; the splintering of social science into specialist disciplines is explained, and the need for a general sociology confirmed. The techniques of observation used by social scientists are dealt with in some detail and the unity of the social sciences is illustrated by examples of the universal application of these techniques. Documentary evidence in its various forms are described along with the basic analytical techniques, including quantitative methods and content analysis. Other methods of gathering information through polls, interviews, attitude scales and participant observation are all described. Professor Duverger brings together the different kinds of analysis used to assess the information thus gathered. Arguing that observing and theorizing are not two different stages or levels of research, he examines the practical value and difficulties of general sociological theories, partial theories and models and working hypotheses. He both describes and assesses the limitations of experiment and the scope of comparative methods in the social sciences. He then gives elementary instructions for using and assessing the value of mathematical techniques. The possibilities of presenting social phenomena through graphs and charts are also explored. There are useful book lists and diagrams.

This book was released on 1999-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sociologie des sciences a contribué, avec l’histoire et la philosophie des sciences, à enrichit notre connaissance des conditions d’exercice de la pratique scientifique. En analysant les formes de communication entre chercheurs, le rôle des normes professionnelles, la préparation des publications ou, le plus souvent, en entrant dans les laboratoires pour y suivre le cours ordinaire de l’investigation scientifique, les sociologues décrivent la complexité des mécanismes sociaux et cognitifs à l’œuvre dans l’élaboration et la diffusion des innovations. Cette dynamique de recherche sociologique relative aux sciences et aux connaissances scientifiques n’a toutefois pas suivi une voie unique. L’ambition de cet ouvrage est d’offrir au lecteur, profane ou averti, une représentation de l’évolution plurilinéaire de la sociologie des sciences tout en confrontant plusieurs approches, d’origines théoriques diverses, autour d’un certain nombre de grands thèmes, parmi lesquels : principes fondateurs de la communauté scientifique, formes organisationnelles du travail scientifique, implications épistémologiques de l’analyse sociologique des sciences, détermination sociale du « choix » des problèmes, du « contenu » des théories ou encore des « raisonnements » scientifiques.

Book excerpt: La science ne constitue pas un monde à part qui échapperait aux influences de la société. C'est la raison pour laquelle des sociologues analysent le travail des scientifiques, l'organisation des institutions qu'ils ont mise en place, les fonctions et les spécificités éventuelles de leur activité. Ils observent et étudient également le fonctionnement quotidien des laboratoires de recherche, ou encore les effets du contexte social et culturel sur les connaissances. La sociologie des sciences est un domaine de recherches en important développement et cet ouvrage propose une synthèse des grandes théories et des principaux travaux de référence en ce domaine. Il concerne à la fois les étudiants en sociologie, en histoire, en philosophie ou en sciences qui s'interrogent sur les dimensions sociales de l'activité scientifique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les "champs scientifiques" sont, selon Pierre Bourdieu, le lieu de l'affrontement nécessaire entre deux formes de pouvoir correspondant à deux espèces de "capital scientifique" : un capital que l'on peut qualifier de social, et un capital spécifique qui repose presque exclusivement sur la reconnaissance par les pairs. La sociologie de la science peut aider à dépasser ces contradictions et à fonder en ce domaine les principes concrets d'une "realpolitik de la raison".

Book excerpt: La science pose, tant aux scientifiques eux-mêmes qu'aux sociologues, d'innombrables questions. Est-elle une activité purement intellectuelle, isolée ? Comment s'inscrit-elle et agit-elle dans la société ? Que veut dire " faire de la science " ? L'argent, la compétition entre institutions, la rivalité entre convictions politiques et religieuses l'orientent-elles ? Existe-t-il de la bonne et de la mauvaise science ? Différents courants de pensée continuent à s'affronter et à s'interpeller sur ces sujets. Cet ouvrage est le premier en langue française à proposer un panorama de ces écoles et à montrer la manière dont elles ont analysé la science comme institution sociale, les normes de comportement (les fraudes, le secret, l'attachement aux idées) des chercheurs, les échanges et les réseaux sociaux, la dimension sociale des contenus scientifiques, et, entre autres, le rapport entre croyances scientifiques et conventions sociales, l'observation des pratiques quotidiennes de laboratoire et la rhétorique des publications scientifiques. Le lecteur verra aussi comment le sociologue s'interroge sur le " noyau dur " des sciences qui semble purement abstrait et indépendant de la société et, bien entendu, sur les relations entre sciences et techniques, pour faire apparaître que la science est à la fois une pratique et une culture. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants inscrits en sociologie et dans les diverses sciences, ainsi qu'aux futurs médecins, ingénieurs et même économistes.

This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new history of French social thought that connects postwar sociology to colonialism and empire In this provocative and original retelling of the history of French social thought, George Steinmetz places the history and development of modern French sociology in the context of the French empire after World War II. Connecting the rise of all the social sciences with efforts by France and other imperial powers to consolidate control over their crisis-ridden colonies, Steinmetz argues that colonial research represented a crucial core of the renascent academic discipline of sociology, especially between the late 1930s and the 1960s. Sociologists, who became favored partners of colonial governments, were asked to apply their expertise to such “social problems” as detribalization, urbanization, poverty, and labor migration. This colonial orientation permeated all the major subfields of sociological research, Steinmetz contends, and is at the center of the work of four influential scholars: Raymond Aron, Jacques Berque, Georges Balandier, and Pierre Bourdieu. In retelling this history, Steinmetz develops and deploys a new methodological approach that combines attention to broadly contextual factors, dynamics within the intellectual development of the social sciences and sociology in particular, and close readings of sociological texts. He moves gradually toward the postwar sociologists of colonialism and their writings, beginning with the most macroscopic contexts, which included the postwar “reoccupation” of the French empire and the turn to developmentalist policies and the resulting demand for new forms of social scientific expertise. After exploring the colonial engagement of researchers in sociology and neighboring fields before and after 1945, he turns to detailed examinations of the work of Aron, who created a sociology of empires; Berque, the leading historical sociologist of North Africa; Balandier, the founder of French Africanist sociology; and Bourdieu, whose renowned theoretical concepts were forged in war-torn, late-colonial Algeria.
