In the wake of the Sokol Affair, there has been a halt to discussion of the broad implications of cultural studies of science. Here these implications are considered in relationship to the critique of ethnographic writing. In treating the latter as part of the cultural studies of science, the author aims to link the critique of ethnographic writing and the cultural studies of science to changes in technology, especially the development of teletechnology. She also hopes to show that both the critique of ethnographic writing and the cultural studies of science have ontological implications fitting the age of teletechnology.
