Patients with rare or understudied diseases often encounter a lack of medical answers about diagnosis or treatment and might seek new ways to obtain answers. The conceptual framework of “networks of expertise” helps analyze such encounters with a lack of medical answers as situations of medical ignorance, which are not necessarily accidental and have been shown to reflect the bias and organization of related networks of expertise. In this context, the paper analyzes and compares public narratives of patients’ experiences and suggests three possible patient strategies for responding to the lack of answers. These strategies include establishing external ties with experts and non-experts outside of one’s healthcare teams, engaging with patient organizations to affect medical research, and engaging with online communities as an alternative or supplementary network of expertise. In all three cases, patients’ efforts are both epistemic and organizational, seeking to (re)shape broader networks of expertise so that they are more likely to generate answers. These organizational dimensions of patients’ knowledge production work can be overlooked by the debates on “expert patients” and the relationship of patients’ expertise to that of credentialed experts.

The article presents a methodography of a collaborative design workshop conducted with national and international statisticians. The workshop was part of an ethnographic research project on innovation in European official statistics. It aimed to bring academic researchers and statisticians together to collaborate on the design of app prototypes that imagine citizens as co-producers of official statistics rather than only data subjects. However, the objective was not to settle on an end product but to see if relations to citizens could be re-imagined. Through a methodography composed of two ethnographic narratives, we analyse whether and how a collaborative design workshop brought about imaginings of citizens as co-producers. To retrospectively analyse the workshop, we draw on feminist and material-semiotic takes on ‘friction’ as characteristic of collaboration. ‘Friction’, we suggest, can enlarge the repertoire of collaborative speculative practice beyond notions of rupture or consensus. Finally, we suggest that this analysis demonstrates the potential of methodography for opening up and reflecting on method in STS through eliciting the possibilities of collaboration.

Imagining Citizens as More than Data Subjects

想象公民不仅仅是数据主体

Environmental economics and ecological economics became established scientific fields as a result of the growth and the success of the environmental movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Using the strong programme in the sociology of scientific knowledge and the general theory of scientific/intellectual movements, this article compares four pairs of scholars (two pairs of scholars appropriated for these fields and fields' founders during the emergence and establishment of the fields). The article depicts how their institutional, ideological and scientific backgrounds contributed to the divergence of these fields. Practitioners of environmental economics and ecological economics were influenced by different strands of the environmental movement. Environmental economics has epistemological and institutional links with environmentalism and ecological economics with ecologism. Different types of interdisciplinarity were used in these fields—a bridge building type of interdisciplinarity in the case of environmental economics and a restructuring and integrative in the case of ecological economics.
