A Plea for Contrapuntal Work of Reflection in a Niche. This essay traces a still highly influential little ‘Sattelzeit’ in the historiography of science and humanities that occurred more than two decades ago. It expounds some of the problems that have been arising from the disciplinary diffusion of scientific‐historical research agendas and the boom of a history of knowledge. It is sceptical of new forms of positivism and argues amongst other things for more critical genealogies of contemporary discursive hegemonies, in‐depth studies of the fluctuating cultural authority of modern science, and a new reflection on the specific traits of a genuinely scientific‐historical imagination.

Kontrapunktische Reflexionsarbeit in der Nische

对利基中反思的对位工作的请求。这篇文章追溯了发生在二十多年前的科学和人文史学中仍然非常有影响力的小“卫星时代”。它阐述了科学历史研究议程的学科传播和知识史的繁荣所引起的一些问题。它对实证主义的新形式持怀疑态度，并主张对当代话语霸权进行更批判的谱系学、对现代科学波动的文化权威的深入研究，以及对真正科学历史想象的具体特征的新反思。 .
