Chasing Technoscience Matrix For Materiality Indiana Series In The Philosophy Of Technology Mobi !!top!!

Materiality is not an intrinsic property of an object. A stone is just a rock until it becomes a hammer, a paperweight, or a specimen. The matrix is the set of relations—scientific instruments, laboratory protocols, funding agencies, embodied researchers—that give materiality its meaning. For example, a PET scan’s materiality (its radioactive tracers, its detectors) only emerges within a technoscientific matrix of nuclear physics, medicine, and patient positioning.

The book is uniquely structured. Part One features groundbreaking interviews and foundational essays from four of the most influential (and often unorthodox) figures in science and technology studies (STS): Materiality is not an intrinsic property of an object

When the draft was read aloud at a small reading, Jonah and Rosa were there, and they laughed at themselves in all the right places. The room smelled of cheap pizza and damp coats. Someone asked how an academic text could change practice; Rosa said, simply, “It might help folks see the work behind the numbers.” Jonah added, “And maybe make the next design easier to fix.”
