本章分析了与新兴科学技术领域有关的责任，其特点是对其革命潜力的深远愿景和期望，这可能近乎炒作。本章首先分析了一系列说明纳米未来发展的五个历史性事件，并介绍了纳米作为一种灵活标签的概念。其次，它讨论了负责任(研究和)创新(RRI)的初步经验教训，这些经验来自于将纳米理解为叙事、愿景和冲突。两个经验性的叙述讨论了责任概念如何与纳米技术一起应用：第一，作为德国纳米技术“去未来化”进程的一部分，主要作为技术评估(TA)活动的一部分；第二，在美国，围绕知识和技术转让的大学-产业关系。本章最后对方法进行了总结，并对RRI的一些启示进行了总结。
This chapter offers an analysis of responsibility with regard to emerging fields of science and technology, characterized by far reaching visions and expectations of their revolutionary potential, which can border on hype. The chapter first analyses a series of five historic episodes that illustrate evolving repertoires of nanofutures, and introduces notions of nano as a flexible label. Secondly, it discusses preliminary lessons for responsible (research and) innovation (RRI) derived from understanding nano as narratives, visions, and conflicts. Two empirical narratives are offered discussing how the notion of responsibility has been applied in conjunction with nano: first, as part of a process of “defuturization” of nano in Germany, mainly as part of technology assessment (TA) activities and second, in university–industry relations around knowledge and technology transfer in the United States. The chapter concludes with a summary of approach and some implications for RRI.
