- Cíle předmětu
- This course will focus on what technology means in our current socie$es from a social construc$vist perspec$ve. Its main focus is on the socio-poli$cal nature of technology. It will take as its star$ng point Mar$n Heidegger’s famous text on ‘The ques$on concerning technology’ and show how a new understanding of technology and its embeddedness in social affairs in the second half of the 20th century emerged. The course will offer an introduc$on to by now classic texts and authors of STS, including Winner, Bijker, Latour and Jasanoff. From this theore$cal grounding the course will look at ‘automobility’ as a specific sociotechnical setup and present how this sociotechnical frame is understood by a variety of scholars – as ‘system’, ‘regime’, ‘disposi$f’ or ‘imaginary’. This will lead us to the introduc$on of yet another concept – the ‘nomos of automobility’ which offers a different explanatory tool to understand automobility and sociotechnical setups in general. The course will conclude with an analysis and discussion of what this means for the current $me of technology transi$ons, including autonomous mobility, ar$ficial intelligence and biotechnology.
