Science and technology

Understand science as a process of knowledge that is in permanent construction, allowing for a research area that seeks to historically question and understand science, especially when it is interwoven by epistemological questions. Thus, the history of science is part of the various historiographical currents of social history, economics and ideas, and it interrelates with philosophy, sociology, anthropology and science education, which are fields that increase the interpretive possibilities of the material and its natural propensity to interdisciplinarity. Recurring problems are discussed from these perspectives, such as the relationship between science, art and technology; the continuities and revolutions in the historical development of science; the notion of progress; whether or not local science exists; and the different ideological and cultural contexts of science and technology.
