Abstract
This article focuses on the article ‘Four Genealogies for a Recombinant Anthropology of Science and Technology’ by Michael Fisher, an American anthropologist and Iranologist, on the anthropology of science and technology from the 1930s to the present. He emphasizes the urgent need to pay attention to this area beyond public claims such as market alienation and the intellectual critique of modernity such as drowning in technology. In his analysis of the emergence of the techno-scientific worlds of the 21st century, the author repeatedly mentions Iran and its modern scientific and industrial centers after the Islamic Revolution of Iran until today. It is important to refer to the titles of science and technology study and research centers in Iran, to design modern research topics and fields for Iranian anthropologists in order to deeply understand the effects of these centers of industry and innovation on society and the world. The translation of Fisher's works in the recent period, despite the difficult prose and long sentences, is an urgent need of this branch of anthropology in Iran. Fisher's works, in terms of both phrasing and the use of specialized terms in basic and technical sciences, require translators from the field of anthropology of science and technology, or specialized teams consisting of anthropologists, technical technicians, and basic science specialists.
