摘要
Some difficult but important issues have arisen in recent social studies of science concerning temporally emergent phenomena and the decentering of the human subject in scientific practice. This essay seeks a constructive clarification of the issues, and links them together, by delineating and exemplifying a view of science as a field of emergent human and material agency reciprocally engaged by means of a dialectic of resistance and accommodation-the mangle.
