“…For instance, researchers have analysed the internationalization of cultural fields, including the field of television (Kuipers, 2011) and the literary field (Sapiro, 2008). They have studied the transnational production and reception of the social sciences (Heilbron et al , 2008), hard sciences (Gingras, 2002), economics (Dezalay and Garth, 2002; Fourcade, 2006), philosophy (Hauchecorne, 2009), and law (Dezalay and Garth, 1998, 2002). In the political arena, sociologists and political scientists have relied on the concept of field to examine a broad range of transnational phenomena, including colonial empires (Go, 2008; Steinmetz, 2008) and European integration (Mudge and Vauchez, 2012;Wagner, 2005).…”

Are all transnational exchanges 'fielded'? This article explores the limits of the concept of transnational field by focusing on the case of journalism. At first glance, journalism might seem to be the perfect example of a transnational field. The frequency, speed and extent of international exchanges between media outlets has increased dramatically with the development of online news, leading media scholars to develop the concept of 'global news'. Yet I argue that such international exchanges do not necessarily constitute a field. Using ethnographic methods, I analyse the circulation of online news between the United States and France, two countries with strikingly different journalistic traditions. Specifically, I compare two editorial partnerships between US and French websites, one linking prestigious online magazines across the Atlantic and the other connecting tabloid-oriented news sites. I find that editorial content does not circulate seamlessly between the two countries. Based on this study, the article proposes three criteria that must be met for transnational fields to exist: competition over the legitimate definition of the field, reciprocal field effects, and the existence of common stakes. More broadly, the article contributes to defining the limits of the concept of 'transnational field' for the study of international exchanges.

“…These social conditions depend on a number of factors. First, as "contextualist methodology" tells us about the history of political thought, the meaning of ideas varies according to the context of their delivery and their specific social meaning (Skinner 2002;Hauchecorne 2009). A scientific or regulatory concept is not therefore pro-industrial in itself but is instead subject to a constant battle over meaning, requiring some vigilance of industrial parties.…”

Defects in Doubt Manufacturing: The Trajectory of a Pro-industrial Argument in the Struggle for the Definition of Carcinogenic Substances

Recent work in science and technology studies has looked at how chemical industries manufacture doubt about the toxicity of their products and manage to establish their scientific views in the field of international regulations on toxic substances. Rather than examining yet another “victory” for the industry, this article analyzes the deployment of a “pro-industrial” scientific position, punctuated mainly by failure and opposition. This trajectory is tracked through the analysis of several data sets: archives, scientific documentation, and sociological interviews. The first part of the article charts the development of a biochemical concept, “peroxisome proliferation,” within an academic subfield and its subsequent appropriation by certain industrial parties who used it as a defensive weapon for their commercial interests. Through the example of the International Agency for Research on Cancer and its network of interdependent institutions, the article goes on to analyze the multiple attempts of chemical industry players to establish their interpretation of the concept within the regulatory bodies for carcinogenic substances. The study of such systems of sociological interdependence shows that a full analysis of the “doubt manufacturing” requires an examination not only of the manufacturing process but also of the reception of the ideas produced.
