About the work
Laboratory Life (9780691028323) understands science not as a solitary triumph but as a social activity embedded in intricate networks of money, laboratories, instruments, and collaborators.
Summary
Bruno Latour deconstructs the daily routines of scientific practice, tracing how researchers negotiate results, manage uncertainties, and stabilize facts through collective lab work. The book follows the rhythms of benches, notebooks, and debates, revealing how laboratory life shapes what counts as legitimate knowledge and how discoveries emerge from a choreography of actors, rituals, and infrastructures.
About the author
Bruno Latour (1947–2022) was a French anthropologist and sociologist of science renowned for co-founding actor-network theory and for reframing how we study scientific laboratories, institutions, and technologies. His work interrogates the social construction of scientific facts, offering a provocative synthesis of ethnography, philosophy, and science studies that has profoundly influenced the humanities and social sciences.
In brief
Laboratory Life reveals how science is practiced through networks of people, materiality, and routines, turning the lab into a site where facts are crafted and stabilized through collective action.
