“…Diversos estudos têm atribuído categorias a diferentes práticas do conhecimento científico baseadas no lugar em que elas acontecem, analisando também o comportamento dos pesquisadores com respeito às particularidades de cada lugar (Henke, 2000). Consideram que o lugar não é meramente um cenário, mas um jogador atuante nas relações sociais.…”

“…Há um tráfego de informações constante através dessa fronteira, e as práticas dos cientistas tendem a combinar métodos de ambos os truth-spots, já que são parte de uma cultura comum e seus princípios de construção do conhecimento são similares (Kohler, 2002). Além disso, alguns trabalhos recentes procuram demonstrar que, em certos tipos de ciência, não é possível visualizar uma divisão tão nítida entre o campo e o laboratório (Henke, 2000).…”

Este estudo investiga as práticas de produção de conhecimento sobre a menopausa no Caism/Unicamp, centro de referência para políticas públicas em saúde da mulher. Foram realizadas observações de consultas ginecológicas, entrevistas com mulheres e médicos e observação de reuniões de apoio psicológico, buscando identificar os discursos que circulam no lugar e o processo de alistamento de diferentes atores para que os conhecimentos ali produzidos alcancem credibilidade e “viajem” além dos limites do hospital-escola, tornando-se “universais”. A análise baseia-se nos “estudos localistas”, alinhados aos estudos sociais de ciência e tecnologia.

“…However, the translation of urban place into scientific space in Dar es Salaam did not serve to engender the placelessness of the lab. The purpose of the UMCP maps was rather to enable practical action on the ground (Henke, 2000). Adhering to administrative boundaries and adapted to personal preferences, the maps allow CORPs to orient themselves in the field; they transformed the city into a venue of disease management (Figure 2).…”

Neglected malarias: The frontlines and back alleys of global health

Among the public health community, 'all except malaria' is often shorthand for neglected tropical diseases. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's cause ce´le`bre, malaria receives a tremendous amount of funding, as well as scientific and policy attention. Malaria has, however, divergent biological, behavioural and socio-political guises; it is multiply implicated in the environments we inhabit and in the ways in which we inhabit them. The malaria that focuses our attention crops up in the back alleys of Dar es Salaam, brought into being by local labour and municipal governance -a version of malaria that, we argue, is increasingly excluded in current eradication campaigns. This article considers the cycles of public health amnesia, memory and neglect that construe the parasitological exchange between man and mosquito. It begins by exploring the political concerns and technical capacities that have transformed malaria into a global enemy. Combining these historical accounts with ethnographic material, we suggest how malaria is disentangled from or conflated with particular places. Ultimately, our aim is to reflect upon the relationship between scale of malaria control and its social consequence, attending to the actors and relations that fall outside of contemporary global public health policy.

“…2 Scholars in the social studies of science are also paying increasing attention to the participation of diverse participants in the making of scientific knowledge in present-day field work. In addition to the items cited in the introduction to this issue, see also Ellis and Waterton 2004;Henke 2000;and Strauss 2003. 3 Historical treatment of the amateur identity has been better developed, including work on subjects as diverse as natural history (Alberti 2001;Barrow 1998;Keeney 1992) and astronomy (Lankford 1981;Rothenberg 1981). Recent commentators have critiqued the "professional" and "expert" as categories in the nineteenth century (Gooday 2008;Lucier 2010), but by the turn of the twentieth century, the lay-expert distinction, with its strongly hierarchical implications, was beginning to emerge in something resembling its modern form.…”

Lay Observers, Telegraph Lines, and Kansas Weather: The Field Network as a Mode of Knowledge Production

ArgumentThis paper examines the field network – linking together lay observers in geographically distributed locations with a central figure who aggregated their locally produced observations into more general, regional knowledge – as a historically emergent mode of knowledge production. After discussing the significance of weather knowledge as a vital domain in which field networks have operated, it describes and analyzes how a more robust and systematized weather observing field network became established and maintained on the ground in the early twentieth century. This case study, which examines two Kansas City-based local observer networks supervised by the same U.S. Weather Bureau office, demonstrates some of the key issues involved in maintaining field networks, such as the role of communications infrastructure, especially the telegraph, the procedures designed to make local observation more systematic and uniform, and the centralized, hierarchical power relations that underpinned even a low-status example of knowledge production on the periphery.
