In recent years, a number of scientific bodies and development agencies have called for indigenous and traditional systems of knowledge to be recognised as valuable reservoirs of learning - a move inspired, in part, by the prospect of multinational biotechnology corporations exploiting traditional non-western medical, agricultural and ecological knowledge. But recognising the legitimacy of indigenous knowledge, albeit partially, has profound implications for conceptions of science. First, the relationship between science and bodies of knowledge hitherto repudiated as myth and superstition needs to be rethought so that indigenous knowledge is demarcated from both science and pseudo-science. Second, the histories of science and mathematics need to recognise consistent criteria for establishing the existence of cross-cultural transmissions. Third, strategies need to be found to legitimise, where possible, indigenous theoretical and methodological discoveries. Fourth, a multicultural idea of science needs to be developed that is distinct from a postmodern, anti-science stance

- Chris Calvert-Minor (2011). “Epistemological Communities” and the Problem of Epistemic Agency. Social Epistemology 25 (4):341 - 360.There is a tendency, a bad tendency, to make epistemic agency the central focus of epistemology. In brief, epistemologists have traditionally elevated epistemic agency as the crucial issue to be addressed, and ask all other epistemological questions in light of that issue. This is not surprising given the Cartesian influence on epistemology, but I argue that epistemic agency should not always be the central focus of epistemology. There are times when giving central place to epistemic agency gets in the way of good epistemology. In this paper, I show how one approach to a communitarian epistemology falters precisely because of the primacy given to epistemic agency. Specifically, I take a close look at Lynn Hankinson Nelson’s notion of epistemological communities in terms of epistemic agency and analyze both its merits and its shortcomings. This is an important analysis for general consideration given the trend in non-traditional epistemologies to look towards social complexes as the real seats of knowledge. But this is also important because my analysis pushes one to consider an alternative framing concept for epistemology—that of epistemic practises instead of epistemic agency.
- Origins
and development of indigenous psychologies: An international analysisInternational Journal of Psychology, Aug 01, 2006; Vol. 41, No. 4, p. 243-268Este artículo analiza el origen, el desarrollo y las características de las psicologías tradicionales (PT) iniciadas en zonas diversas del mundo. Estas PT surgieron en respuesta a la versión dominante de la psicología e intentan reflejar el carácter social, político y cultural de los pueblos de todo el mundo. Aquí se presentan quince artículos de investigadores de diferentes partes del mundo que responden a cuatro preguntas que se les plantearon. Los artículos incluyeron varios temas comunes. Las reacciones post‐coloniales ante la psicología dominante, y la creencia de que ésta no representaba una ayuda eficaz para resolver los problemas sociales locales, constituyeron buenas razones para que se desarrollaran las PT. En términos generales, las PT se consideraron intentos por producir una psicología local dentro de un contexto cultural específico. Hubo diferentes opiniones respecto a cuáles métodos eran legítimos dentro de las PT (desde experimentos hasta varios métodos más ‘humanísticos’). En general se creía que las PT podían abrir, vigorizar y mejorar la psicología dominante. Para muchos, la manera de crear teorías en las PT consistía en construir teorías a partir de la base, en función de fenómenos, de experiencias y resultados locales. Algunos colaboradores vieron en las PT una especie de psicología cultural, y algunos notaron que las PT y la psicología transcultural guardan una relación interactiva mutuamente enriquecedora. Casi la mitad de los colaboradores subrayaron la reacción crítica que hacia sus trabajos sobre las PT mostraban colegas que trabajaban más dentro de los lineamientos de la psicología dominante. Varios de los colaboradores sentían que las PT podían contribuir al desarrollo de una psicología universal más general. Los colaboradores hallaron distintos indicios de heterogeneidad de las PT, por ejemplo en lo que respecta al papel que se le ha dado a la religión en las PT locales. En ocasiones se reportó la presencia de diferentes PT dentro de un mismo país. Esto es un indicio de heterogeneidad en las PT.
. Vernacular science knowledge: its role in everyday
Wolfgang Wagner
This paper argues that our understanding of how the public understands
science is incomplete as long as we do not answer the question of why, under
which conditions, and in which form the general public assimilate scientific
background knowledge. Everyday life and communication are governed by
criteria of social efficiency and evidence. Under the conditions of everyday
life, it is sufficient for the lay person to possess and employ metaphoric and
iconic representations of scientific facts—called “vernacular science
knowledge”—that are wrong in scientific terms, as long as they are able to
serve as acceptable and legitimate belief systems in discourses with other lay
people. These representations are tools for a purpose that follow local rules of
communication. Research within the framework of Social Representation
Theory—collective symbolic coping with biotechnology in Europe, lay
understanding of sexual conception, as well as traditional versus modern
psychiatric knowledge in India—is presented to illustrate.
