Being a constructivist makes me wonder about absolute truth: if everything in this world can be negotiated, do we still have any place for the truth of physical world? This question arose when I entered environment discourse focused on bio energy. One group said that bio energy support environment and energy sustainable, while another group argued bio energy development tends to deforestation, also it fertilizer gives bad impact to the environment.
Apart from environment issues, how can this ‘truth’ broadened by including producer, consumer, policy maker, farmer, businessmen, car industry and other actors take into account? In Economization, Callon & Caliskan refer economization to the actions, devices, analytical/practical description assembled by social scientists and market actors. In this sense, environment can be included as an economy element. Actually this problem also appear in science-technology discourse, but differently from nature, technology often seen as part of human second creation, the social of human, rather than environment that placed as human ‘enemy’ as occurred in ancient time when people have to survive against the wild nature.
This is why (in my sense) environment issues always involve heterogeneous actors, from scientist to artist, rather technology debate which dominated by the scientist/engineer.
