Abstracts

The article presents the thesis claiming that postconstructivist view is the best tool to describe and analyze such phenomena as modern risk, scientific controversies, climate change and global warming denial movement. I consider Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory (ANT) the best examples of postconstructivist thinking. They allow to picture both science and technology as spheres of collective practice, materially situated and instrumentally rooted. They postulate a posthumanist, antiessentialist, ecological politics in which climate change and the role of non-humans may be represented in a satisfactory way.
