| description | This article studies the extent of the concrete convergence between nanotechnology and synthetic biology, emblematic of the biological technosciences. To address the issue of the dichotomy between the level of the objects, where we observe a pluralization process more than a convergence, and the level of the discourses, where the convergence scenario seems to remain the dominant one, we develop an analysis of the disciplines as apparatuses (“dispositifs”) in Foucault’s sense. This enables a precise description of the different strata composing the apparatuses, and of their dynamics. The convergence of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology and Cognitive science (NBIC convergence) then appears as a simplified interpretation of a complex scientific and technological context. |
