2 My concern is similar to what Callon and his colleagues argue should be the focus of dialogic democracy (Callon et al., 2011). However, following Geoffrey Bowker, I would argue that classification and memory making (archiving) are also inherently exclusionary (Bowker and Star 1999; Bowker, 2005).

3 Raj (2007) focusing on inter-cultural contact zones, brings to light complex and hierarchical circulations of science during European colonialism.

4 Such a move exemplified the broader hegemony of the USA over the European technoscientific research (Krige, 2008). It also contributed to further consolidation of that hegemony.
