Abstract

The review essay discusses books of Harry Collins and co-authors (“trilogy of expertise”). The discussed works are attempts to sort out theoretical outcomes from the ethnographic studies done within Science and Technology Studies. The review essay collates these books with theoretical proposals of Bruno Latour, and pinpoints the potential of application these have within general qualitative research, especially in studies of craftsmanship, expertise, and tacit knowledge.
