Theory, Narrative, and Discipline at the Intersections of Science and Technology Studies and History
In: Bulletin of science, technology & society, Band 23, Heft 6, S. 465-472
Abstract
This article is an exploration of the differences between science and technology studies and the history of technology, taken as independent intellectual fields. The differences range from stylistic and professional, to matters of theory, narrative, and inference. These make true interdisciplinarity challenging, although scholars do bridge the disciplines. Both provide important resources for critical technological literacy by promoting historical thinking and by providing tools for exploring reflexivity by the social contextualization of scholarly activities and knowledge production in general.
