Technoscience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technoscience is a concept widely used in the interdisciplinary community of science and technology studies to designate the technological and social context of science. The notion indicates a common recognition that scientific knowledge is not only socially coded and historically situated but sustained and made durable by material (non-human) networks.
"Technoscience" is a term coined by Belgian philosopher Gilbert Hottois in the late 1970s.
