imo the ethnomethodological approach to STS/SSS never focused on power or other abstractions at all. If Lynch's (1985) "Art & artifact" had gathered half the momentum of Latour & Woolgar's (1979) "Laboratory Life" these things might look v different today http://emcawiki.net/Lynch1985a
Yup! And, not coincidentally, the ethnomethodological studies of science have been far more willing to understand the scientists’ viewpoint. As mandated by Garfinkel’s “unique adequacy” criterion and “hybrid studies” program, if I understand those correctly.
I think this is a throughly fascinating topic: my impression is that a lot of sociology of science (by no means all of it) was biased from the start in favour of trying to prove that science didn't have any kind of privileged epistemic ground.
I'm a big fan of Reichenbach's distinction between the context of discovery/context of justification. Investigating science as a human enterprise is crucial because scientists are humans and science is a human activity that's just as subject to whims of power as anything else.
