On the Possible Truthness of Scientific Images : Problem of (Post)modern Social Construction and Representation in Bruno Latour
2008
Abstrakt
Bruno Latour analyses the modern and the postmodern way of constructuing the scientific facts in scientific laboratories. He considers that the scientific images are based on a strategic production of "objective" inscriptions.
Therefore, these images are not taken as representations of the world, but as the world itself. The paper follows the Latour's argumentation, searching for answering the question: why are the images so importatnt for scientific constructions of the modern and the postmodern period?
