description This article, based upon discourse analysis, shows how May 68 translated in the field of science and technology studies. The study of journals dedicated to science/society relationship in the 1970s and in the early 1980s sheds light upon two discursive poles: the radical science movement and the emerging sociology of science. There is an institutional and individual continuum between these two poles. But the paper pays more attention to the discursive continuum between them. It analyzes the political issues raised by this continuum and the tensions it provoked. A special attention is given to the articulation between political radicalism during the 1968s and the epistemological radicalism promoted by the “new” sociology of science.
