商品簡介
If asked, most people would agree that there are deep connections between technologyand the modern world, and even that technology is the truly distinctive feature of modernity. Untilrecently, however, there has been surprisingly little overlap between technology studies andmodernity theory. The goal of this ambitious book is to lay the foundations for a newinterdisciplinary field by closely examining the co-construction of technology and modernity.Thebook is divided into three parts. Part I lays the methodological groundwork for combining studies oftechnology and modernity, while integrating ideas drawn from feminism, critical theory, philosophy,sociology, and socioeconomics. Part II continues the methodological discussion, focusing on specificsociotechnical systems or technologies with prominent relations to modernity. Part III introducespractical and political issues by considering alternative modes of technology development andoffering critiques of modern medicine, environmental technology, international development, andtechnology policy. The book as a whole suggests a broad research program that is both academic andapplied and that will help us understand how contemporary societies can govern technologies insteadof being governed by them.
