  • The Body Multiple: Ontology in Medical Practice.Annemarie Mol (ed.) - 2003 - Duke University Press.
    The Body Multiple is an extraordinary ethnography of an ordinary disease. Drawing on fieldwork in a Dutch university hospital, Annemarie Mol looks at the day-to-day diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis. A patient information leaflet might describe atherosclerosis as the gradual obstruction of the arteries, but in hospital practice this one medical condition appears to be many other things. From one moment, place, apparatus, specialty, or treatment, to the next, a slightly different “atherosclerosis” is being discussed, measured, observed, or stripped away. (...)

  • Standards: Recipes for Reality.Lawrence Busch - 2011 - MIT Press.
    This book investigates standards as the recipes that shape not only the physical world, but human social interactions. The author outlines the history of formal standards and describes how modern science came to be associated with the moral-technical project of standardization of both people and things. The author also explores how standards are intimately connected to power, empowering some but disempowering others.

  • “There’s an App for That”: Technical Standards and Commodification by Technological Means.Paul B. Thompson - 2012 - Philosophy and Technology 25 (1):87-103.
    Though the term “commodification” is used broadly, a theory of the processes by which goods become exchangeable and in fact objects of monetized exchange reveals a key site for technological politics. Commodities are goods that are alienable, somewhat rival, generally with low exclusion costs, and that are often consumed in use. Technological advances can affect all of these traits for certain goods, effectively bringing about a process of commodification by technological means. However, in order to function with specific contexts, technologies (...)

  • Un ethnologue dans le métro.Marc Augé - 1986
    Quoi de plus familier que le métro? Comment le regard ethnologique, accoutumé à nous rapporter les pratiques lointaines pourrait-il éclairer ce qui s'y joue? Tel a pourtant été le pari de Marc Augé dans cet ouvrage qui révèle tout ce que le métro recèle de conventions, de rites et d'institutions. Mais c'est aussi l'occasion d'une présentation buissonnière des principaux thèmes classiques de l'anthropologie, depuis le " fait social total " de Marcel Mauss, jusqu'à la question du symbolique, en passant par (...)
