| Summary: | Research ethics can no longer avoid a politics of inquiry. The circumstances surrounding social science inquiry and the constraints placed upon it, particularly in the case of sponsored research, need to be problematized. This article therefore looks back at an experience of embedment in an EU-funded research project aimed at developing a working prototype of a piece of technology called a “virtual fence.” The point is not to judge situations of social science research embedment, e.g. in projects of technological development. Instead, this article aims to look at different material and epistemic relationships with the objects at stake themselves, through their singularities. In doing so, it develops three politics of inquiry about virtual fences and seeks to explore the limits and consequences of each one of them. |
