N2 - This essay exemplifies the usefulness of Victor Turner’s concept of social drama in an analysis of the public debate over recombinant DNA research. The analysis encourages a consideration of the various debates about science and technology as possible reenactments of ideological conflict, reenactments which, to society’s detriment, continually fail of satisfactory resolution.
