[Air-l] postmodern ethnography

[jeremy]

Yes, i agree there is a huge volume of literature in science and 
technology studies involving postmodern approaches to science and 
technology usually involving ethnography.  I think Latour's Science in 
Action is probably more postmodern oriented than LabLive, but really for 
his best work there, I'd say Aramis: the love of technology is 
interesting.  Other interesting science related work are Knorr-Cetina 
and Rapp.  I'd have to dig through the bibliographies we host at 
http://www.cddc.vt.edu/feminism/fields.html  but there is surely alot of 
work from the feminist theory perspective too that would be appropriate.
