Visions of AI: Art and deliberative discourses
In science and technology studies, “responsible research and innovation” (RRI) has become a central concept in discourses on innovation. Scholars applying this concept have called for reflexive, anticipatory and deliberative discourses on technoscientific choices and science objectives. The contributions of artists in these debates have not yet been considered in depth. In our art-based research project on artificial intelligence (AI), we suggest…
Envisioning futures: Imagining technoscientific worlds in film
Films can be seen as cultural projections of technoscientific futures. The ways that technoscience is represented in films may shape the way we perceive future innovations and the social implications of such developments. Films can thus serve as documents to study cultural perceptions of the future. This paper explores how visions of future technoscientific worlds are enacted in films by analyzing exemplary short movies that were created for the …
Models of Public Engagement: Nanoscientists’ Understandings of Science–Society Interactions
Visual Power in Action: Digital Images and the Shaping of Medical Practices
The increasing presence of images in medicine is mostly understood as a visualization of medicine. In this view, physicians and researchers are strongly guided by the visual power of images. Ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with physicians and scientists working in radiology departments and magnetic resonance imaging units however, show that visual power is not always effective. Depending on a situation, physicians and scientists are guided …
Visual rationalities: Towards a sociology of images
Images are ubiquitous in (post)modern societies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of conceptual frameworks which relate sociological theory to a thinking about 'the visual.' Sociological theory has widely neglected to reflect on images and 'the visual' and to explore the role of images in constituting and reproducing 'the social'. This article argues for a sociology of images. It aims to develop a conceptual tool to analyse images from a practice pe…
Coping with uncertainty: Assessing nanotechnologies in a citizen panel in Switzerland
The policy shift towards “upstream public engagement” requires dealing with a lack of individual and stabilized scientific knowledge that accompanies any early stage of research and development. This article examines how actors cope with this epistemic uncertainty when deliberating emerging technologies. Analyzing the arguments of the participants in a Swiss citizen panel on nanotechnology, the article explores how actors form their opinions in a…
Doing Images: Zur Praxis medizinischer Bilder
Dieser Band ist die erste deutschsprachige Ethnografie zu bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach der Herstellung, Interpretation und Verwendung medizinischer Bilder sowie nach der Bedeutung, die ihnen in der medizinischen Praxis zukommt. Die theoretisch anspruchsvolle Studie greift auf Konzepte der Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung und der Kultursoziologie sowie auf Ergebnisse von Feldforschungen in der Schweiz, …
Bilder als soziale Praxis: Grundlegungen einer Soziologie des Visuellen / Images as Social Practice: Outline of a Sociology of the Visual
Bilder sind in sämtlichen Bereichen gesellschaftlichen Lebens omnipräsent; die (post-)moderne Gesellschaft ist eine Gesellschaft der „visuellen Kultur“. Die Soziologie hat es jedoch bis heute versäumt, Bilder und Visualität theoretisch zu reflektieren. Der Aufsatz unternimmt den Versuch, dieses Desiderat nicht nur zu diagnostizieren, sondern gleichzeitig die Anforderungen an eine Soziologie des Visuellen zu formulieren. Darüber hinaus wird mit de…
Doing Distinctions: Boundary Work and Symbolic Capital in Radiology
The transformations in radiology induced by new imaging technology can be understood as instances of `doing distinctions' by both technology and human actors. This paper combines the analytical frameworks of Gieryn and Bourdieu to understand the reconfigurations engendered by the medical implementation of visualization apparatuses such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It examines the reactions of radiologists to these transformations, which f…
Soziotechnische Rationalität: "Praxistheorie und der „Objektsinn" von Artefakten
Soziale Welt is one of the important journals within German sociology and is even read in foreign countries. It includes empirical and theoretical contributions from all areas of the subject and tries to portray the development of sociology and to give a new impetus. In addition to the quarterly published issues, there are special issues with a unified theme
