Dear Ana and all, I'd recommend the excellent 'Rise of Technological Science', in History and Technology, vol. 1, 1983. It's published under Jan Sebestik's name, but it's really a summary of a collective research project which was de facto lead by Georges Canguilhem and in which Gilbert Simondon participated. It's especially sharp on the distinction between technics and technology, and their conflation in English. Best wishes, Daniel On Wed 08 Apr 2020 at 01:23, Ana Visan <ana.m.visan@gmail.com> wrote:
Dear AoIRs,
I am a migration and border studies scholar researching how technologies (from mobile phones to drones to databases) affect migration journeys. I am not familiar with STS scholarship and I was hoping you could help by pointing me to some (seminal?) works that might help me formulate an all-encompassing definition of technology (or a theoretical approach to it), beyond ICTs—i.e. one that includes biometrics, information exchange databases, but also material objects like drones, and/or one that addresses both technology “used by” as well as technology “used on.”
Many thanks in advance,
Ana
