practice, some of which is translated into the standard forms of
public discourse, in publication, and then retranslated by readers
and adapted again to local practice at self-selected other sites.
Less may be left implicit, and additional personal and contextual
information is carried, by the "informal" methods of communication
which mediate local projects and international publication. But
both methods of communication are screens as well as conduits of
information. History and Background of the Volume When the planning
of this volume began in the spring of 1977, it seemed a natural
part of the mandate for the Yearbook. There had also been a number
of more specific calls for deeper studies of research in social and
historical context (3). These calls can be seen as giving
permission and legitimacy to ask questions otherwise seen as
irrelevant, or even disrespectful, and as attempts to develop new
perspectives from which to ask and to answer them. The implied and
expressed irreverence toward traditions and institutions of great
respect may have prolonged this process of initial apologetics. In
any case, in May 1977 the theme of 'The Social Process of
Scientific Investigation' was proposed to the Editorial Board for
Volume IV as "the heart of the subject. " That is, the ethnographic
and detailed historical study of actual scientific activity and
thinking at or close to the work site.
