Book excerpt: How ten making & doing projects expand STS scholarship through a focus on knowledge expression and knowledge travel in addition to knowledge production. Making & doing projects expand STS scholarship to include the trajectories of STS knowledge flow beyond the boundaries of the field by actively interweaving knowledge expression and travel with knowledge production. In this edited volume, contributors from around the world present and critically assess ten empirical making & doing projects. They recount how their projects advance STS, and describe how they themselves learn from their interlocutors and the settings in which they do and share their STS work. A coda explains how the infrastructures of STS scholarship are broadening to include practices of making & doing. The contributors examine and reflect upon their dilemmas, frustrations, and failures, especially when these generate new practices that might not have occurred had their work not taken the form of making and doing scholarship. While each project raises a distinct set of scholarly issues, all of the projects include practices that express STS knowledge through “STS sensibilities” and attach those sensibilities to practices in empirical fields. The ten projects include one each in Argentina, Taiwan, Canada, and Denmark; two in the US; one in Austria, the UK, and multiple countries in Africa and Asia; one in the US and Latin America; one in the Netherlands and Australia; and one in an international network that includes members from Europe, the Americas, and Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies survive in their environment and compete with each other depending on the technology they develop. Economic, military and political power are directly related to the available technology, while access to technology is key to the well-being of our societies at the individual, community and national level. The Robotics Divide analyzes how robotics will shape our societies in the twenty-first century; a time when industrial and service robotics, particularly for military and aerospace purposes, will become an essential technology. The book, written by experts in the field, focuses on the main technological trends in the field of robotics, and the impact that robotics will have on different facets of social life. By doing so, the authors aim to open the “black box” of a technology which, like any other, is designed, implemented and evaluated according to the economic and cultural patterns of a cosmopolitan society, as well as its relations of power. The Robotics Divide explores future developments in robotics technology and discusses the model of technological development and the implementation of robotics in this competitive market economy. Then the authors examine to what extent it is possible to determine the characteristic features of the robotic divide, namely in what ways the robotic divide differs from the digital divide, and how a model to integrate this technology can be developed without reproducing patterns of inequality and power that have characterized the advent of previous technologies. These issues - inequality, robotics and power - are of concern to robotics and advanced automation engineers, social scientists, economists and science policy experts alike.

This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tercera edición de la colección "Así habla el Externado" examina el impacto que las tecnologías disruptivas y la transformación digital están teniendo sobre el conjunto de la sociedad, bajo una lente humanista e interdisciplinar, propia de nuestra institución. La Cuarta Revolución Industrial (4RI), que ha permeado todos los campos de la actividad humana y la sociedad, ofrece la inmensa oportunidad de reducir las brechas de conocimiento e ingreso económico y generar progreso social y democrático, pero puede también tener el efecto contrario. El lector y la lectora encontrarán en estos cuatro tomos reflexiones valiosas, en sus 74escritos, para comprender en todo su alcance estas innovaciones y poder contribuir así a la construcción de realidades cada vez más incluyentes y participativas. Este tomo III, titulado "Derecho, innovación y tecnología: fundamentos para una Lex Informático", tiene por objeto responder la siguiente pregunta: ¿de qué manera las nuevas tecnologías y la economía colaborativa están transformando el derecho, sus principios e instituciones? Para ello, el presente volumen estudia en detalle las promesas, retos y problemas jurídicos suscitados por la aplicación de la inteligencia artificial, el Big Data, el Blockchain y el loT en distintos ámbitos del derecho público y privado. Los diferentes capítulos presentan debates en torno a la forma en que dichas tecnologías vienen afectando profundamente al mundo del derecho, con el fin de construir un marco conceptual que no solo sirva de base para sostener una discusión académica sólidamente fundamentada sobre estos temas, sino también para despejar las dudas jurídicas que pueden existir con el fin de facilitar y acelerar el desarrollo e implementación práctica de estas tecnologías, así como de contribuir a orientar la agenda académica sobre estos asuntos en América Latina.

Book excerpt: Cuando la humanidad se convierta en un juego de apariencias e intereses confrontados, ¿a quién confiaremos el futuro? Roy Stark es un ingeniero en robótica, superdotado y librepensador, que oculta sus altas capacidades trabajando en una ONG. Sin embargo, una crisis interminable le obliga a convertirse en miembro de un partido populista americano con el objetivo de seguir ayudando a los demás. Frente a los políticos que toman las decisiones pensando en su beneficio a corto plazo, surge el personaje de Roy, que está interesado en solucionar los problemas de la sociedad, aunque para ello aplique una visión muy particular del mundo: «sugestionado por Moore, el hombre ha logrado evolucionar un ordenador portátil de principios de siglo, que tenía el cerebro de un mosquito, hasta computadores como los de ahora, capaces de emular un cerebro humano. El cofundador de Intel podría haber usado el poder de la sugestión para conseguir mejores cosas. Por ejemplo, podría haber dicho: "Compañeros del planeta Tierra, sabed que hay un tipo ocioso y bendito que vive en el cielo, a miles de kilómetros sobre nosotros, que nos observa permanentemente". ¿Qué habría conseguido con esta afirmación? Un mundo más civilizado, porque ya se sabe que nos portamos mejor cuando alguien nos está mirando». En su aventura como político, Roy tendrá que enfrentarse a Deus Ex Machina, una todopoderosa corporación tecnológica que pretende inundar las calles de robots inteligentes de aspecto humano, sin tener en cuenta el impacto que tendrán sobre los enfermos del shock del futuro. Las luchas de poder y los conflictos de intereses desembocarán en una alocada carrera de Roy por su supervivencia. En sus aventuras, le acompañarán Denisse, una valiente activista cuyo padre se suicidó por culpa del shock, junto con dos robots llamados R y D. También contará con el apoyo de unas peculiares estrellas de la música antisistema que le asesorarán en la toma de decisiones políticas, sirviéndose para ello de las frases de algunos de sus míticos temas. Albert Siré se sirve de los elementos de la ciencia ficción clásica y el humor para desarrollar una historia de amores imposibles, política y música punk, que se resuelve en un sorprendente desenlace que muestra la importancia de mantenerse fiel a uno mismo.

Book excerpt: Es evidente la urgencia de fomentar la reflexión académica sobre el papel que las mujeres desempeñan en el progreso de la ciencia y la tecnología. En los nueve trabajos que integran esta obra se reflejan los innumerables factores que determinan la escasa presencia femenina en actividades de investigación científica y desarrollo tecnológico (I+D), algunos de los cuales son análogos a los que imperan en su proceso educativo. Asimismo, se pone de manifiesto el contexto globalizador que prescisa la profesionalización del quehacer de las mujeres dedicadas a este campo. Si bien el libro reúne trabajos que proceden de contextos culturales diversos, destaca lo que desde hace algún tiempo se ha pesto de relieve: la desigualdad en la profesionalización de las mujeres que hacen ciencia en ámbitos culturales diferentes. Al mismo tiempo, y tal vez como el elemento novedoso que aportan estos trabajos, debemos destacar el creciente número de mujeres en actividades de I+D y su lucha cotidiana por competir, en cada núcleo social, con sus colegas masculinos.
