Science is not merely a bundle of theory. Science is a real world activity that human beings and human communities spend their time engaged in, making their livelihoods from, thinking, doing, training, practicing, mentoring, building, having fun with, arguing about, and so on
Science can talk about almost anything, but it can only talk about them in a very narrow set of ways, and towards a very narrow set of purposes.

I'm not sure who exactly to point to for literature on this conception of science. Neopragmatists and scientific practice people are all good. (later) Putnam and van Fraassen are good. Hasok Chang is good but needs more than a pinch of salt
