This is Not a Boundary Object: Reflections on the Origin of a Concept
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 35 Số 5 - Trang 601-617 - 2010
There are three components to boundary objects as outlined in the original 1989
article. Interpretive flexibility, the structure of informatic and work process
needs and arrangements, and, finally, the dynamic between ill-structured and
more tailored uses of the objects. Much of the use of the concept has
concentrated on the aspect of interpretive flexibility and has often mistaken or
conflated th...
Green Chemistry as Social Movement?
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 199-222 - 2005
Are there circumstances under which scientists and engineers doing their
ordinary jobs can be thought of as participants in a social movement? The
technoscientists analyzed in this article are at the forefront of a new way of
doing chemistry; they are attempting to redesign chemical products and synthesis
pathways to significantly reduce health effects and environmental damage from
industrial chem...
Identifying the Science-Technology Interface: Matching Patent Data to a Bibliometric Model
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 50-77 - 1989
The Social Construction of Technology: Structural Considerations
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 27 Số 1 - Trang 28-52 - 2002
Although scholarship in the social construction of technology (SCOT) has
contributed much to illuminating technological development, most work using this
theoretical approach is committed to an agency-centered approach. SCOT scholars
have made only limited contributions to illustrating the influence of social
structures. In this article, the authors argue for the importance of structural
concepts ...
Is Science a Public Good? Fifth Mullins Lecture, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 23 March 1993
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 395-424 - 1994
Should governments accept the principle of devoting a proportion of their
resources to funding basic research? From the standpoint of economics, science
should be considered as a public good and for that reason it should be protected
from market forces. This article tries to show that this result can only be
maintained at the price of abandoning arguments traditionally deployed by
economists thems...
Making Images/Making Bodies: Visibilizing and Disciplining through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 291-316 - 2005
This article analyzes how the medical gaze made possible by MRI operates in
radiological laboratories. It argues that although computer-assisted medical
imaging technologies such as MRI shift radiological analysis to the realm of
cyborg visuality, radiological analysis continues to depend on visualization
produced by other technologies and diagnostic inputs. In the radiological
laboratory, MRI is ...
“Opening Up” and “Closing Down”
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 262-294 - 2008
Discursive deference in the governance of science and technology is rebalancing
from expert analysis toward participatory deliberation. Linear, scientistic
conceptions of innovation are giving ground to more plural, socially situated
understandings. Yet, growing recognition of social agency in technology choice
is countered by persistently deterministic notions of technological progress.
This arti...
Algorithms, Governance, and Governmentality
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 41 Số 1 - Trang 17-49 - 2016
Algorithms, or rather algorithmic actions, are seen as problematic because they
are inscrutable, automatic, and subsumed in the flow of daily practices. Yet,
they are also seen to be playing an important role in organizing opportunities,
enacting certain categories, and doing what David Lyon calls “social sorting.”
Thus, there is a general concern that this increasingly prevalent mode of
ordering ...
Public Concerns in the United Kingdom about General and Specific Applications of Genetic Engineering: Risk, Benefit, and Ethics
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 98-124 - 1997
The repertory grid method was used to determine what terminology respondents use
to distinguish between different applications of genetic engineering drawn from
food- related, agricultural, and medical applications. Respondents were asked to
react to fifteen applications phrased in general terms, and results compared
with a second study where fifteen more specific applications were used as
stimuli...
Problematic Publics: A Critical Review of Surveys of Public Attitudes to Biotechnology
Science Technology and Human Values - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 317-348 - 1997
This article discusses a range of recent major surveys of public attitudes
toward biotechnology. The authors identify a number of problematic features of
the surveys: the use of predominantly consumerist rather than civic conception
of public discourse; the assumption of a unitary "general public," a "cognitive
deficit" approach to public understanding of science; and the presumption of a
politica...
