Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society - 0 views

  •  
    French philosopher Jacques Ellul, wrote one of the most reknown critique of Technology, The Technological Society, New York, Knopf, 1964 He explains that society lost control of Technology which is being completly autonomous. With DIWO-Lab, by making ourselves and rummaging into the design of things, we'll collectively master the Technology. From article "Jacques Ellul" Wikipedia (en): It is useless, he argues, to think that a distinction can be made between technique and its use, for techniques have specific social and psychological consequences independent of human desires. There can be no room for moral considerations in their use: "Not even the moral conversion of the technicians could make a difference. At best, they would cease to be good technicians. In the end, technique has only one principle, efficient ordering."

Le potentiel d'innovation et de transformation de l'économie sociale : quelqu... - 0 views

  •  
    Concerning socio-technical networks, Canadian Socioeconomist Benoît Lévesque: "Le potentiel d'innovation et de transformation de l'économie sociale : quelques éléments de problématique", CRISES, Avril 2006 Quote: "En somme, les innovations résulteraient de processus sociaux, soit d'interactions et d'échanges d'informations entre personnes, scientifiques, entrepreneurs, financiers, hommes politiques, usagers, clients formant ainsi des réseaux sociotechniques." "L'innovation pourrait donc être comprise en termes de processus inscrits dans des systèmes sociaux d'innovation. Outre le fait qu'elles mettent bien en lumière le caractère social et collectif de toute innovation, les notions de système et de processus peuvent être très utiles pour établir des passerelles entre les innovations et les transformations sociales (Boyer, 1991)."

Le travail sera producteur de culture, l’autoproduction un mode d’épanouissement. »

The Vocation Essays: Politics As a Vocation; Science As a Vocation - Max Weber - 0 views

  •  
    Concerning the abstraction of industrialized objects and devices, here the quote of German Sociologist Max Weber in Politics as a Vocation, 1919. Quote: "Unless he is a physicist, one who rides on the streetcar has no idea how the car happened to get into motion. And he does not need to know. He is satisfied that he may 'count' on the behavior of the streetcar, and he orients his conduct according to this expectation; but he knows nothing about what it takes to produce such a car so that it can move. The savage knows incomparably more about his tools".
