not to interpret the text, but perform it (sequel)

Having posted recently about the move from emphasising theory to practice in hard Christian thinking, I was fascinated to come across Andrew Pickering’s performative description of science. My starting point was a CBC postcast on ‘Thinking about science’ (see their podcast page), which includes an interview with Pickering. The interview explicitly touches on this idea as a reaction to modernity (albeit one that emcompasses the modern approach).

I found the whole thing making all sorts of connections, so (when I’m more awake) I’ll probably fire off some reactions to this (elsewhere).
