La hipotesis que guio esta investigacion es que las subdisciplinas biologicas centradas en los niveles inferiores de organizacion presentan una valoracion de lo vivo diferente de aquella reconocida en areas que abordan los niveles superiores de organizacion. A partir del analisis realizado hallamos una amplia valoracion productiva de lo vivo en todas las areas indagadas (ademas de la valoracion de los organismos como herramientas para obtener conocimiento). En contraposicion, encontramos que el valor intrinseco de lo vivo solo es reconocido en algunos campos de estudio. Ademas, los resultados obtenidos apoyan nuestra hipotesis relativa al vinculo entre los niveles de organizacion estudiados y la valoracion de lo vivo: las subdisciplinas que otorgan prioridad a los niveles inferiores de organizacion no parecen considerar la valoracion intrinseca de lo vivo, mientras que las areas que abordan niveles de organizacion superiores tienden a reconocer ese tipo de valor. Finalmente presentamos algunas reflexiones acerca de la preeminencia del valor productivo de lo vivo en la bibliografia y de posibles conflictos valorativos al seno de la biologia. Poner en cuestion los valores y supuestos que subyacen a las practicas cientificas resulta central en el contexto actual en el que las ciencias de la vida participan de diversas controversias eticas.","PeriodicalId":168872,"journal":{"name":"Scientiae Studia","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126140805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite recognizing the presence of a plurality of concepts, a dualistic conceptualization prevails where a classical gene (Gene-P) and a molecular gene (Gene-D) have been identified. Besides, it has been declared that such concepts are independent and that it is impossible to find “hybrid” notions. In this article we analyse which gene concepts behaviour geneticists operate with and we show that the standard view does not fit well to what is happening in the area. In particular, we postulate that in behaviour genetics there are two different gene concepts, one of which has a “hybrid” nature. In that sense, our proposal shares the pluralistic consensus but rejects the dualistic character that has fundamentally adopted.","PeriodicalId":168872,"journal":{"name":"Scientiae Studia","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132523387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At fi rst, we look at the independence movement of India in the fi rst half of the twentieth century, which fostered a policy of dissemination of the Charkha, a kind of spinning wheel. Widespread in the period in which Gandhi led the movement, the wheel has become a symbol of the nationalist struggle, and is seen as an emblematic example of a socio-technical alternative. In a second step, we analyze the Appropriate Technology Movement, as a set of ideas and initiatives that popularize in the 1970s the dissemination of technologies supposedly appropriate to the reality of the impoverished regions of the “south”. In order to fi ll in the analytical gender gaps, we highlight the contributions of authors who unvail the androcentric character of such policies, and explain how inadequate technologies were produced because women’s work and community care needs in rural Africa and Asia were hidden. Finally, we weave connections between gender and the construction of socio-technical alternatives, and argue that it is in virtue of the invisibility of the feminized character of care, and of an uncritical incorporation of productivist logic that Social Technology embodies androcentrism","PeriodicalId":168872,"journal":{"name":"Scientiae Studia","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123852198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colocados em uma gradação, os capítulos culminam no último, que resume os seis principais argumentos acerca da objetividade desenvolvidos pela autora, tornando-se um ponto de partida possível para o contato com o conteúdo da obra. Os argumentos desenvolvidos na sequência dos capítulos são: Capítulo 1. Argumento de que as consequências das pesquisas do ocidente desbordam seus limites territoriais: as consequências distribuem-se globalmente, como no caso das políticas de modernização realizadas a partir do fi nal da Segunda Guerra Mundial e início da Guerra Fria. Capítulo 2. Argumento da homogeneidade valorativa dos pesquisadores como desvantajosa para a pesquisa: pesquisadores com características homogêneas tendem a apresentar menor capacidade de reconhecimento dos valores e dos interesses que estruturam suas próprias pressuposições, políticas e práticas. Capítulo 3. Argumento da objetividade forte: a crítica de pressupostos sexistas e androcêntricos resultou na proposta de pesquisa exercida a partir de baixo e, consequentemente, da objetividade forte, pois nela a diversidade das situações sociais é levada em consideração.

It inadvertently exposes the contingency of foundational commitments, of content and of practice, that had been presumed to be neutral with respect to the situated interests of practitioners, context-independent and trans-historically stable. But, far from fatally undermining the objectivity of the enterprise, I argue that these more radical implications of gender archaeology illustrate the value of social constructionist analysis as an epistemic resource. We should attend to the positive epistemic role it can play as a catalyst for the kinds of transformative criticism that are essential to well-functioning science. I argue that a commitment to ongoing constructionist analysis should be a central component of proceduralist conceptions of objectivity that take seriously the need to mobilize rather than marginalize the diverse epistemic resources of situated knowers","PeriodicalId":168872,"journal":{"name":"Scientiae Studia","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124026589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
