Standards. We apply them, uphold them, or fail to meet them. But
how do they get made? The Social Life of Standards reveals how
these political and technical tools for organizing society are
developed, subverted, contested, and reassembled by local
communities interacting with standards created by others. Using
ethnographic approaches, contributors investigate biomedical,
agricultural, and other contexts that reveal the mismatch between
the inconsistent implementation of standards in the real world and
the non-negotiable criteria presupposed by external forces. These
cases support a reflexive process that involves local engagement at
every stage in the production and application of standards.
