Three theses of the future as a Science, Technology and Society Studies research object
In recent years, the future has re-emerged as a significant research topic, encompassing studies on perceptions, anticipations, imaginaries, and theoretical explorations of its nature. This article analyzes how the future is theoretically framed in Science, Technology, and Society studies (STS), and how this relates to its broader framing within futures studies. It identifies three core theses from research on futures that highlight shared ontolo…
From fragmented to integrated sustainability in lithium extraction? Political measurements and critical minerals in times of sociotechnical transition in Chile
Lithium, a critical mineral for the global energy transition, has positioned Chile as one of the world’s leading producers through brine-based extraction. From this case, we identify a broader dynamic that we named “fragmented sustainability”, in which researchers and policymakers assess the lithium extraction through isolated environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. This fragmentation limits the capacity of sustainability science…
Sustainable integration of desalinated seawater into regional water supply networks using a participatory modelling framework
Water scarcity is a critical issue worldwide and has become a major constraint on socio-economic development. Seawater desalination is an appealing adaptation option in regions with access to the coast; however, it has sustainability challenges that require careful consideration. Two critical challenges are: how to manage the spectrum of potential adverse social and environmental impacts; and how to provide fair and sustainable water access benef…
Links between the actors and mining activities related to the implementation of sustainable development principles
The uninterrupted supply of raw materials is essential to implement low‐carbon technologies. Therefore, the sustainable extraction of these materials is crucial. One of its important aspects is the analysis of the interaction between the actors as well as the actions undertaken by them. This study explores the characteristics of the network of links between social actors and the supporting and inhibitory actions related to sustainable development…
