Abstract:

An original project for a taxonomy of organisation-technology became over time an exploration of some of the meanings and contexts of technology. The exploration began with the critique of selected instances of landmark theorising and empirical research on the technology concept. The critique raised issues in epistemology and methodology which caused this writer to address the philosophy of the social sciences and the philosophy of technology at certain points: the question of technological determinism; language and metaphor; ideology; construct validity.

This dissertation examines the emerging practice of consumer neuroscience and neuromarketing, combined called CNNM. CNNM utilizes tools and technologies to measure brain activity and human behavior coupled with scientific theories for explaining behavior and cognition. Consumer neuroscience is one of the newest areas of application of neuroscience and related techniques, and is of significant social consequence for its possible deployment in the market place to both study and shape consumer behavior. Concerns arise in terms of consumer influence and manipulation, but there are also concerns

Abstract:

M-PESA (a mobile banking service in Kenya) was introduced to offer a person-to-person money transfer service. Its extensive adoption and appropriation for purposes other than person-to-person transfers has influenced the technology providers (Safaricom) to widen their services beyond their original intentions. M-PESA provides a wide range of financial services including services for people who were previously unbanked. Users of M-PESA can now pay different utilities, those without credit cards can purchase products online, others can repay loans to microfinance institutions, pay insurance prem

Abstract:

Certain developments and applications of science and technology are often seen as a problem for society. The first chapter of this work concentrate on what technology actually is, its relation with science and the problems it creates for society. Two questions are asked: 1. Is democratic control of technological research and development necessary and possible. 2. Is democratic control of the applications of this research and development necessary and possible. A broad definition of technology brings out the relation of science and technology. The key concept is: control over nature, non-human

Abstract:

This thesis suggests that approaches studying the organisation, society and technology nexus have either focused extensively on environment (e.g. Marxist perspectives of organisation and society), or studied organisation and technologies within organisational boundaries (e.g. Gidden’s Structuration or Orlikowski’s Sociomateriality). Secondly, in doing so these approaches have chosen ‘deterministic’ stand points that emphasise a single factor, i.e. economy, technology or human agency as being solely responsible for shaping change in the social world.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the relevance of craft disciplines in our present-day world, one that is driven largely by information technology. It is an examination of the contemporary value, benefits and importance of making objects 'by hand' from the perspective of both the craftsperson and the people who take pleasure in craft objects. In the thesis, craft is interlinked with an issue of time, more precisely, with the need for slowing down in order to live and work at a variety of speeds or rhythms. The impact of this on our understanding of learning, in the formal education system and beyond, is

This study critically examines the co-construction of society and technology in rural Strathclyde during the late 1990s. A range of uses of information and communications technology (ICT) - spanning employment, community development and education – is accounted for, in a variety of highly localised settings on the islands of Arran, Islay and Jura and the Kintyre peninsula. Explanation is offered as to why certain outcomes have been arrived at. The reflexive relationship between technology and society is then highlighted, as it is shown that the challenge of introducing ICT to the region has af

I contextualize the literature-science debate in Anglophone and Italophone culture, and then investigate dialogues between Levi and his contemporaries (for example, the writer Italo Calvino; the physicist Tullio Regge). Among other theoretical frameworks, I draw on critical approaches to the lite

Abstract:

This thesis explores how locally-constructed agency, based on what we really care about, can be developed within and thence beyond localities. At issue is the need for new forms of connectedness and belonging in the globally-based network society. Globally-based communications and media technologies create new networks and mobilities that stretch and fragment existing socio-economic, administrative and ecological systems and with this, older, local and national forms of sociality. Such social upheavals are apt to drive people into defensive and divisive "us" against "them" forms of belonging.

China became subject to various Western influences in the nineteenth century. Conspicuous in the realm of technology was the transformation of printing from xylography to Western typography. The new method was introduced by Protestant missionaries and mainly by those of the London Missionary Society (LMS). The motive behind this transformation was their hope to print the Bible and by an adequate method, but later the impact of this technological change extended widely beyond religion, resulting in the burgeoning and rapid development of modern Chinese publishing enterprises, including newspape
