the intertwinement of scientific and technological development as e.g. shown by the lab studies; the power of laboratories (and engineering workshops) to change the world as we know and experience it; the seamless webs that connect scientists, engineers and societal actors in actual practice (cf. John Law's concept of heterogeneous engineering); the propensity of technoscientific world to create new nature–culture hybrids, and hence to complicate the borders between nature and culture.[1]
