Presentation of the documentary resources
This page presents a collection of texts that are short (less than 10 minutes reading aloud) and accessible to nonexperts. The documents are not freely available for copyright reasons. Contact us if you want to consult them.
Each element addresses a question related to the SEnS workshop, as seen by a specialist—mainly academics in human or social sciences (history, philosophy, economics, sociology). These texts do not aim at settling a debate (and one can find conflicting positions in differents resources), but intend to bring a historical perspective, or some informed argument that we thought could be useful to bring the discussion forward.
There are only two texts in English so far, more to come soon! See the French version of the website to get an idea of what to expect.Texts
- Do artifacts have politics? Langdon Winner, philosophy of technology. - neutrality of science and technology -
- On the various forms of technical democracy Michel Callon, sociologist - sciences and democracy -
