在政治参与中事物的作用是什么?这本书,现在在平装本,开发了一个新的角度对日常物品的作用,技术和设置参与,提出他们使一种独特的参与形式:物质参与。这本书有助于更广泛地讨论民主和物质性,但它也提供了具体的物体和设备的物质参与的实证分析:智能电表,环境展示家园和可持续生活的小工具。物质参与将科学和技术的社会研究(STS)带入与政治理论的对话中,以发展一种新的方法来分析具体的物质参与形式。在这样做的过程中,它探讨了参与,技术和环境研究的下一步措施,将我们的批判性,经验性和创造性的注意力集中在公众的材料和设备上。
What is the role of things in political participation? This book, now in paperback, develops a fresh perspective on the role of everyday objects, technology and settings in engagement, proposing that they enable a distinctive form of involvement: material participation. The book contributes to wider debates about democracy and materiality, but it also offers empirical analyses of particular objects and devices of material engagement: smart energy meters, environmental show homes and sustainable living gadgets. Material Participation brings social studies of science and technology (STS) into conversation with political theory in order to develop a novel approach to the analysis of specifically material forms of participation. In doing so, it explores the next steps to be taken in studies of participation, technology and the environment, focusing our critical, empirical and creative attention squarely on the materials and devices of the public.
