- W226095469 abstract "Drawing upon archival material and primary texts, the paper argues that American regional science after early growth and success during the 1950s and 1960s waned because of an unwillingness to change its position in response to new circumstances. It was unwilling to entertain change because it believed it was a science with an unimpeachable method. In contrast, the paper argues that the early success of regional science had less to do with its scientific method than the local social and cultural context in which it was embedded. At first, regional science was able to forge tight connections to that local context, and consequently burgeoned. But as that context changed in the 1970s, American regional science failed to keep up, and instead continued to espouse what it thought were unchanging universal scientific nostrums. The result, though, was not growth and vibrancy, but a slow trajectory of decline and fall. The theoretical framework informing this critical history derives from science studies, and in particular the work of Bruno Latour. En utilisant du materiel des archives et des textes originaux, le raisonnement est presente que la science regionale americaine, apres avoir connu une croissance initiale et un succes certain au cours des annees 1950 et 1960, a perdu son elan a cause d'un manque de volonte pour modifier sa position par rapport aux nouvelles circonstances. Elle ne voulait pas contempler le changement parce qu'elle pensait qu'elle etait une science avec une methode sans faille. En contraste, dans cet article nous raisonnons que le succes initial de cette science regionale etait moins le resultat de sa methode scientifique que le resultat du contexte social e culturel local dans lequel elle fut enracinee. Au depart, la science regionale etait capable de batir des relations tres etroites a ce contexte local et par consequent elle a connu une floraison remarquable. Mais au fur et a mesure que ce contexte a change, la science regionale americaine n'a pas reussi a maintenir sa position, et, au contraire, a continue a s'allier ce qu'elle pensait etre les imperatifs scientifiques universels et constants. Le resultat, neanmoins, n'etait pas la croissance et une ambiance vibrant, mais plutot un trajectoire lent de declin et de demise. Le schema theorique qui a informe cette histoire critique decoule des etudes de la science, particulierement le travail de Bruno Latour. ********** What's Wrong with American Regional Science? A View from Science Studies My first academic conference, and as a first year graduate student, was at the North American Regional Science Association held at the Ambassador Hotel, Chicago, November 1978. It was exhilarating but disarming as well. For the first time, saw what professors did in their off hours. There seemed such a gap between the graceful and purified abstractions of the regional scientists who spoke, their vocabulary couched in mathematical equations or serried rows of numbers or tidily drawn flow charts presented as a series of overheads, and the behaviour of some of them once they left the lectern. There was drunkenness, a fistfight between a disgruntled author and recalcitrant editor, bets and bravado at a singles bar, imbibing of illegal substances, and cursing and sexual innuendo. was shocked, but it didn't stop me from joining in. Of course, realise now from both becoming a professor and reading the science studies literature on which will draw in this paper, that there is no disjuncture. Academic inquiry even of the most purified kind is thoroughly muddied by a wider social context, local cultural practices, and bodily acts and responses, and which can include even drunkenness, fistfights, and barroom bets and bravado. As Steven Shapin (1998: 23) puts it, I have never seen a 'disembodied idea,' nor, suspect, have those who say they study such things. What and they have seen is embodied people portraying their disembodiment and that of the knowledge they produce. …" @default.
