In addition to the suggestions below I would suggest looking at the work of the STS scholars Michael Lynch, Steven Woolgar, and Bruno Latour. Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar's book _Laboratory Life_ is a classic. Michael Lych's _Scientific Practice and Ordinary Action: Ethnomethodology and Social Studies of Science_ is useful. Woolgar and Ashnmore's _The Reflexive Thesis: Writing Sociology of Scientific Knowledge_ would also fit this category.

well in broader terms, I was thinking that you might have been thinking of work like that of Paul Rabinow's an anthropology of reason, Arjun Appadurai' modernity at large Marcus's Critical Anthropology Now David Hess's Science and Technology in a Multicultural World
you might also look at the work of Marc Auge.
you probably weren't really looking for these which are mostly anthropological studies that have postmodern ethnographic content * *
