  1. Provocations Trevor Pinch Cornell University

  2. My first Provocation is: KEEP IT LIVELY! • Provocation number 2: S&TS has finally emerged! • Provocation 3: the importance of social science as a whole dealing with materiality (including technology).

  3. Provocation 4: It is our focus upon materiality, thick description, our naturalistic bent, and suspicion of all forms of essentialism , and a form of tongue-in-cheek irreverence towards the pretensions of technoscience which are the hall marks of the best of what we have to offer. • In sound studies wefollow the sounds (provocation 5 perhaps)

  4. Provocation 6:“Can history of fringe and marginal science do justice to key S&TS principles such as Bloorian symmetry” • Provocation 7 is:We should grasp opportunities to show the relevance of our work for a wider public.
