Trained in social anthropology,\nhe focuses on modern modes of knowledge, and on astrobiology more specifically.\nAstrobiology is the umbrella term for the endeavour to understand life at a cosmic level,\nand encompasses a wide spectrum of disciplines ranging from astronomy and\nmicrobiology to geochemistry and planetary science. He seeks to provide a nuanced\nunderstanding of this cross-disciplinary melting pot. His research is based on multi-sited\nethnographic research conducted in Western Europe and the US since 2010. It\nconcentrates on how scientists involved in contemporary space exploration make the alien\nfamiliar and vice versa, and it shows how they remake objectivity itself in the process. With\nhis colleagues in outer space studies, he resists the common tendency to narrow space\nexploration to the technologically ambitious but conceptually old-fashioned projects of a\nhandful of rocket-obsessed space billionaires and their acolytes. He is interested in how\nspace researchers reimagine the extraterrestrial without having recourse to neocolonialist\ntemplates of exploitation and conquest. The exploration of outer space, it turns out, is not\njust a matter of rocket science but also an adventure of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anthropology of science\/ outer space studies\/ science and modernity\/ neocolonialism\/ the history of objectivity<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Istvan Praet | Anthropologue, Durham University Universit\u00e9 de Durham Istvan Praet enseigne \u00e0 l&rsquo;Universit\u00e9 de Durham, au Royaume-Uni.
