JARABA-BARRIOS, BRUNO  y  MORA-GAMEZ, FREDY. Reconstructing the Object of the Critic: On Intersections Between Critical Psychology and Social Studies of Science and Technology. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.19, n.2, pp.225-239. ISSN 0121-5469.

As methodological and conceptual resources that can support the purpose of critical psychology, this paper presents some general aspects of the social studies of science and technology (STS), which have opened promising avenues for addressing the mutual constitution of science and society. Derived from the STS and related to possible research lines within critical psychology, three major methodological contributions are introduced: the principles of the so-called strong program of the sociology of scientific knowledge, the methodologies and guidelines of laboratory ethnographies, and the rhetorical analysis of scientific texts. Additionally, some theoretical considerations provided by the STS are discussed in order to contribute to a creative rethinking of critical psychology.

Palabras clave : critical psychology; laboratory ethnography; rhetoric of scientific writings; social studies of science and technology; sociology of scientific knowledge.
