Abstract |
: This paper first aims to reveal that, in the current trend of "the participatory turn" in STS, there are divergent positions subtly different from each other, and that the understanding of these divergent positions can be significant to study the differences, similarities and interfaces between the various models of scientific governance discussed in STS and those in risk governance developed by risk studies. Secondly, this paper shows that theoretical differences among STS scholars on scientific governance and public participation goes back to the 1970s and 1980s, during which they first laid down the conceptual basis of STS. All ideas and theories have their own historicity. This article is about the "historical epistemology" of the participatory turn of STS, and is to seek "political epistemology" that can become a shared vision of STS.
