Abstract
Having dealt with scientific controversies in our last text, we will now turn to some other "sites" from which sociologists have attempted to grasp science as a subject of inquiry. First, we show what the so-called "laboratory ethnographies", focused on everyday scientific practices, have brought about.
Second, we discuss why it is important to pay attention to scientific language and scientific discourse. And finally, we present some rare examples of sociological scrutinizing theoretical work, i.e., of an activity when little seems to happen outside the scientific mind.
In this context, we point out that, just like other disciplines, sociology shapes its research object in various ways according to its needs, while transforming itself in interaction with it.
