Giere	Discussion Note: Distributed Cognition in Epistemic Cultures	2002	9	.pdf	application/pdf	3610	314	60	In Epistemic Cultures (1999), Karin Knorr Cetina argues that different scientific fields She claims that in high energy physics (HEP) individual persons are displaced as epistemic subjects in favor of experiments themselves. Navy ship as a prototype, I argue that both HEP and MB exhibit forms of distributed Knorr Cetina's reason for engaging in a comparative study of two different sciences is that her main thesis—scientific fields exhibit distinct "epis that HEP experiments have a "post-traditional communitarian structure." One feature of such structures is that authority is distributed. Discourse channels individual knowledge into the experiment, providing it with a sort of distributed cognition or a stream of (collective) features are just those noted by Knorr Cetina: the distribution of authority, responsibility, and reward, and the need for high degrees of trust and a HEP experiment are both cognitive systems.
