What is Art, Science, and the Politics of Knowledge about?

How The Tools Of Sts Can Be Used To Understand Art And Science And The Practices Of These Knowledge-making Communities. In Art, Science, And The Politics Of Knowledge, Hannah Star Rogers Suggests That Art And Science Are Not As Different From Each Other As We Might Assume. She Shows How The Tools Of Science And Technology Studies (sts) Can Be Applied To Artistic Practice, Offering New Ways Of Thinking About People And Objects That Have Largely Fallen Outside The Scope Of Sts Research. Arguing That The Categories Of Art And Science Are Labels With Specific Powers To Order Social Worlds—and That Art And Science Are Best Understood As Networks That Produce Knowledge—rogers Shows, Through A Series Of Cases, The Similarities And Overlapping Practices Of These Knowledge Communities. The Cases, Which Range From Nineteenth-century Artisans To Contemporary Bioartists, Illustrate How Art Can Provide The Basis For A New Subdiscipline Called Art, Science, And Technology Studies (asts), Offering Hybrid Tools For Investigating Art–science Collaborations. Rogers’s Subjects Include The Work Of Father And Son Glassblowers, The Blaschkas, Whose Glass Models, Produced In The Nineteenth Century For Us
