Abstract

This collected volume analyses labelling as a political and economic operation. It gathers contributions that focus on various domains, including the agri-food sector, the construction sector, eco-labelling, retail, health public policies and the energy sector, considering the use of labels for various objectives, such as providing legal and technical data on consumption products, certifying their quality, and indicating the approval of professional or political authorities. These practices are tied to both public and private interventions that make civic concerns visible and aim to govern them. The book considers ‘labelling the economy’ as an operation that introduces political questions into the economic realm, while also importing economic modes of reasoning into governance interventions. In doing so, the book considers the sociotechnical apparatus on which any label relies as a nexus where economic and political considerations are brought together.

Abstract

This book looks at the democratic constructions surrounding public debates about issues related to scientific and technological development, specifically in this case nanotechnology. Brice Laurent argues that nanotechnology is a lens through which one can build a theoretical and practical approach to the study of contemporary democracies, exploring the joint production of nanotechnology itself and democratic order and identifying questions related to the exercise of citizenship, forms of national sovereignty, and channels of political legitimacy. This book helps increase visibility of and accessibility to STS methodologies for scholars and practitioners outside the field of science, technology, and society.

Abstract

Comment intégrer les énergies nouvelles dans la ville du futur ? Comment construire une ville qui produit autant d’énergie qu’elle en consomme, tout en favorisant l’économie locale ou nationale ? Quels obstacles devront être surmontés ? Pour répondre à ces questions, ce livre fait le pari méthodologique de la discussion collective et contradictoire ; il multiplie les points de vue et donne la parole à des architectes, des ingénieurs, des entrepreneurs, des membres de l’administration ou de grandes entreprises privées, des chercheurs, des consultants et des représentants des usagers. Il est complété par la mise en perspective de l’expérience française par des exemples danois, américains et chinois.
