ABSTRACT

This is a chapter. An article. Or a paper. Let us take note of that. But the business of writing-and talking-raises serious problems. Difficult questions. Questions to do with materiality. To do with method. To do with knowing, representing, signifying. To do with authorship, authority. To do with the nature of our field. To do with the character of what it is to be an expert in ‘our’ field. Whatever that field may be. Science, technology and society. Organizational studies. With any field. With the very notion of a ‘field’.
