Discussion: Is STS Truly revolutionary or merely Revolting?

The distinctive research character of science and technology studies – its post-social,
object-centred, anti-normative perspective – is presented as an ideological expression
of the client-driven nature of knowledge production in these neo-liberal times.
This accounts for both STS’s increasing utility and lack of overarching research programme.

Key words: social epistemology, neo-liberalism, science and technology studies.
