Constructing Naturalistic Knowledge. An Anthropological Approach to an Atlas
The anthropology of how scientific knowledge is constructed turns out to be useful for comparing various sorts of knowledge. Through this empirical approach to science in the making, specifically to work on the Atlas de répartition des amphibiens et reptiles de France, we see that science relies on a social network for collecting data. Scientific work proceeds by making successive adjustments. Controlling the collected data entails a chain of actions for, gradually but ultimately, consolidating knowledge. The ethnological observation of this atlas enables us to take a different look at scientific knowledge - one which opens interesting perspectives for studying the coexistence of different forms of knowledge.
