Scientific Authority & Twentieth-century AmericaRonald G. Walters Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997 - 271 lappuses Writing from a variety of perspectives - intellectual history, social history, feminist theory, philosophy, medical history, political theory, and visual analysis - the authors demonstrate that science no longer belongs exclusively to its practitioners or to any particular discipline. Situating science within other communities of discourse, they show how scientific language and metaphor spread outward into new realms, including popular culture, where they came into conflict with other languages of authority. They also show how medical authority shapes social behavior, how corporate agricultural science has displaced farmers' knowledge, and how popular science enters the collective imagination. |
