The history of the modern sciences has long overlooked the significance of domesticity as a physical, social, and symbolic force in the shaping of knowledge production. This book provides a welcome reorientation to our understanding of the making of the modern sciences globally by emphasizing the centrality of domesticity in diverse scientific enterprises.
“With Domesticity in the Making of Modern Science, Donald Opitz, Staffan Bergwik, and Brigitte Van Tiggelen provide an excellent and original contribution to the history of modern science. … It is composed of a general introduction, twelve chapters interspersed with good-quality illustrations, and an afterword. … It will be of interest for science and technology studies as well as anthropology, history, and social sciences.” (Pierre Teissier, ISIS, Vol. 108 (4), 2017)
