After reading Latour's Laboratory Life I have understood something quite beautiful, which is the power of culture in naturalizing cultural phenomena. By this I mean how in the context of Latour's examination of this particular laboratory it becomes clear how the fact is in fact constructed rather than discovered, as if it was Nature waiting to be discovered.

This has an impact in language, as the scientific fact is no longer discovered but rather constructed. This opens up a lot of possibilities for the development of criticality or what I like to think of hypercriticality, which is the disorder that I am trying to understand as a-detrimental-condition of mine. In rediscovering the scientific fact as a construction, culture at larger becomes an apparatus or an invention, rather than a naturalized institution, which also denotes, because of the wording, some sort of act of fabrication (institutional).
