@mrundkvist (Latour 2007)

But obviously this rescue operation was not enough since the rest of
the social sciences seemed to share a completely different notion of
the same term. How could that be? Our mistake was that since we had
never shared the idea that construction could mean a reduction to
only one type of material, we produced antibodies against the accus-
ation that we had reduced facts to ‘mere construction’ only very
slowly. Since it was obvious to us that ‘social construction’ meant a
renewed attention to the number of heterogeneous realities entering
into the fabrication of some state of affairs, it took years for us to react
in a balanced way to the absurd theories with which we appeared to be
associated.115 Even though constructivism was for us a synonym for an
increase in realism, we were feted by our colleagues in social critique as
having shown at last that ‘even science is bunk’! It took me a long time
to realize the danger of an expression that, in the hands of our ‘best
friends’, apparently meant some type of revenge against the solidity of
scientific facts and an exposé of their claim to truth. They seemed to
imply that we were doing for science what they were so proud of
having done for religion, art, law, culture, and everything the rest of
us believe in, namely reducing it to dust by showing it was made up.
For someone who had never been trained in critical sociology, it was
hard to imagine that people could use the causal explanation in their
own discipline as proof that the phenomena they were accounting for
didn’t really exist, not to mention that they were associating the
artificiality of the construction with a deficit in reality. Unwittingly,
constructivism had become a synonym of its opposite number: decon-
struction.
No wonder that our excitement in showing the ‘social construction
of scientific fact’ was met with such fury by the actors themselves! For
physicists, it is far from the same thing to settle complex controversies
about black holes or to be presented instead with ‘power struggles
among physicists’. For a religious soul, it is far from the same thing to
address God in prayer and to be said to pray only to ‘the personalization

of Society’. For a lawyer, it is not the same thing to obey the Constitu-
tion or to yield to powerful lobbies hidden behind the law. For a haute
couture seamstress, it is not the same to cut through thick and shiny
velvet or to be said to make ‘social distinction’ visible. For a follower of
a cult, it’s not the same thing to be tied to the existence of a divinity
and to be told that one adores a fetish made out of wood. The substi-
tution of the social with other stuff seems to every actor a catastrophic
loss to be adamantly resisted—and rightly so! If, however, the word
social is not used to replace one kind of stuff by another, but is used
instead to deploy the associations that have rendered some state of
affairs solid and durable, then another social theory might become
audible at last.
How could there be, we wondered, such a divide in the basic duties
of social science? This is why it slowly dawned on us that there was
something deeply flawed not only in the standard philosophy of
science, but also in the standard social theories used to account for
other domains than science. This is what made ANT scholars at first look
either too critical—they were accused of attacking ‘even’ matters of
facts and of not ‘believing’ in ‘Nature’ or in ‘outside reality’—or much
too naive—they believed in the agencies of ‘real things’ that were ‘out
there’.116 In effect, what ANT was trying to modify was simply the use
of the whole critical repertoire by abandoning simultaneously the use of
Nature and the use of Society, which had been invented to reveal
‘behind’ social phenomena what was ‘really taking place’. This, how-
ever, meant a complete reinterpretation of the experiment that we had
conducted, at first unwittingly, when trying to account sociologically
for the production of science. After all, there is a lot to be said in favor
of red flags in the hands of clever toreros as they might, in the end,
allow one to tame the wild beast.

Ist die Soziologie zu links?

Das jedenfalls legt eine aufsehenerregende Studie nage. Unsere Autoren -- selbst Soziologen -- beobachten eine folgenreiche Politisierung ihres Fachs.

reading the npm deprecation warnings while updating random electron apps on my system

Screenshot of terminal output showing three warnings:
1. npm warn deprecated tslint@6.1.3: TSLint has been deprecated in favor of ESLint. Please see https://github.com/palantir/tslint/issues/4534 for more information. [palantir is highlighted]
2. npm warn deprecated rimraf@2.7.1: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
3. npm warn deprecated q@1.4.1: You or someone you depend on is using Q, the JavaScript Promise library that gave JavaScript developers strong feelings about promises. They can almost certainly migrate to the native JavaScript promise now. Thank you literally everyone for joining me in this bet against the odds. Be excellent to each other.
