Hmmmm... Well, not that I’m a laureate, but my STS is absolutely about deconstruction. And it’s definitely a critique of Science and Truth, if not science and truth.https://twitter.com/ssrc_org/status/1068651025689657345 …

I actually had Collins in mind (I can understand him) more than Latour, the latest of which I’m still trying to get a handle on.
In L's famous critique/steam piece, he likens these tools to weapons and wonders if we are training for the right battle, etc. I think I might ask: how many old generals of past wars successfully retooled for the next wars? In my reading, very few.

I’d buy this more easily if the new critiques of deconstruction didn’t look suspiciously like the old critiques of deconstruction.

That is, I don't mind the general gist that the battles of the 2000s and so on are really different than those of the 1970s-80s. But I have doubts that those who learned their craft in the previous "wars" are really going to have the answers moving forward.

That their answers as to "what should be done" are frequently unsatisfying doesn't bother me that much, personally.
