Socio-Technical Futures Shaping the Present

Empirical Examples and Analytical Challenges
Langbeschreibung
¿The exploration of ways to conceptualize the shaping of the present by sociötechnical futures is the aim of this volume. Therefore it brings together contributions from Science and Technology Studies and Technology Assessment, which focus all on the question how socio-technical images of the future shape present processes of innovation and transformation starting from empirical case studies and generalizing specific findings or by tackling conceptual questions from the outset. A white paper of 23 authors, which aims to sensitize researchers and practitioners completes the volume.
