SPIVAK L'HOSTE, Ana  e  HUBERT, Matthieu. Notions of Nation and Technoscience: a Comparative Look at Nuclear Area Institutions. univ.humanist. [online]. 2013, n.76, pp.185-206. ISSN 0120-4807.

This paper provides an analysis of the links between national identity and technoscience. To do this, we will study the meanings of nation that are developed on two ceremonies commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of institutions dedicated to the production of science and technology in France and Argentina: the headquarters of the Commissariat à lEnergie Atomique in Grenoble and Instituto Balseiro, a training center of the National Atomic Energy Commission in Bariloche. We will show how the meanings of nation activate and justify speeches and practices associated with technoscientific production focusing on the resources through which technoscience is incorporated into every celebration. The proposal is framed within ethnographic research including among its methods, the development of in-depth interviews and participant observation of daily situations or beyond daily situations from a comparative perspective.
