This article is a contribution to the critical sociology of science perspective introduced and developed by Pierre Bourdieu. The paper proposes a transversalist theory of science and technology production and diffusion. It is here argued that science and technology is comprised of multiple regimes, where each regime is historically ground, possesses its own division of labour, modes of cognitive and artefact production and has specific audiences. The major regimes include the disciplinary regime, utilitarian regime, transitory regime and research-technology regime. Concepts, materials and practitioners circulate between the regimes. Though each regime is autonomous, they are simultaneously closely interlaced. In science and technology, autonomy is not antithetical to interdependence and reciprocity. This study demonstrates for the four specified regimes of production and diffusion that differentiation is not contrary to integration. In science, differentiation and integration comprise two sides to the same coin. This analysis focuses strongly on the research-technology regime, as it comprises the principal structure of transversality that promote convergence and complementarity on the disciplinary, transitory and utilitarian regimes by dint of the trans-boundary movement of cognitive, material and epistemological generic instrumentation. This generic instrumentation gives rise to a "lingua franca" in science and to "pragmatic universality".Downloads
