Callon’s earlier works on
sociology of science and on
translation contributed to the study of how scientists act to problematize an issue, interest other actors and recruit them as to mobilize a constituency around an issue. His article
Some elements of a sociology of translation: domestication of the scallops and the fishermen of St Brieuc Bay is one of the most cited in the literature of

This body of work interrogates the interrelation between the economy and economics, highlighting the ways in which economics and economics-inspired disciplines such as marketing shape the economy. ==References==
