Abstract

STS studies cannot be approached in the same way as any other study in which the analyzed object is (relatively) foreign to the analyzing subject itself. Due to the reflexivity inherent to the studies themselves, it is necessary that, although not systematically, but periodically, the people who investigate in this area put their cards on the table and explore the ins and outs that accompanied their investigations. In the form of (pseudo) autoethnography, with no greater value than that of identifying the forces and values ​​that the researcher himself has noticed along his path, but which are never made explicit in the texts and academic materials that justify his work activity. For this reason, I intend to briefly explore ideas that have accompanied my reading, research, and reflections in the STS field, which began more than 20 years ago with my doctoral thesis project.
