Reforming Global Governance
The 7th Global China Dialogue was organised by Global China Academy and ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science, Lancaster University, with support from Tsinghua University, China, for organising speakers from China, on the 10th December at the British Academy, London. Presented here are summaries of special addresses of Opening and Closing sessions and abstracts of panel speeches. Full speeches will be published in Reforming Global G…
Sequencing BGI
The increasing importance of computational techniques in post-genomic life science research calls for new forms and combinations of expertise that cut across established disciplinary boundaries between computing and biology. These are most marked in large scale gene sequencing facilities. Here new ways of organising knowledge production, drawing on industrial models, have been perceived as pursuing efficiency and control to the potential detrimen…
Understanding the Evolution of Rice Technology in China – From Traditional Agriculture to GM Rice Today
This paper provides an historical survey of the evolution of rice technology in China, from the traditional farming system to genetically modified rice today. Using sociotechnological analytical framework, it analyses rice technology as a socio-technical ensemble - a complex interaction of material and social elements, and discusses the specificity of technology development and its socio-technical outcomes. It points to two imperatives in rice va…
A Critique of China's Utilitarian View of Science and Technology
Technology studies in the West, including the specific case explored here of the ‘social shaping of technology’ (SST) perspective, has been patterned by the particular historical circumstances in which it emerged, in terms of both contemporary political concerns about the socio–economic implications of technological change, and the respective strengths and traditions of the various academic disciplines that contributed to this new field.
