Evidence-Based What? by Richard Sparks

Today, the study of knowledge production, knowledge formats and knowledge politics is being developed across a wide variety of research fields. Along with the work of scholars such as Ian Hacking, Mary Poovey, and Bruno Latour, the work of the late Green College Principal, Richard Ericson, have all on policing, risk, the news media, and the insurance industry made an important contribution not only to these substantive areas but also to the methodological tools that scholars use in their everyday study of knowledge‐power processes.

Latour wonders Is there an ANT at the beginning of ANThropology?

as a rule I try not to post things locked away behind the paywall but this seemed timely given the recent round of serious criticisms in response to Bruno’s new book, and in particular those of us who have been lamenting his apparent move away from empirical/field work, so my thanks to http://circlingsquares.blogspot.co.uk/ for the link and a plea for open-access on behalf of those of us laboring in the diaspora.
