Technoscience and citizenship: ethics and governance in the digital society

摘要

This volume-edited by Ana Delgado, who also contributed selections to the work-is a follow-up effort from the TECHNOLIFE project that took place in Barcelona, in 2010. The goal of TECHNOLIFE, as funded by the European Commission, was to consider an updated and alternative ethical framework for emerging technologies. The focus was on digital technologies and everyday users since the tools are decentralized, innovative, and adapted by citizens. This subsequent book from that project is accessible to a broad audience to accommodate the general audience that participated in TECHNOLIFE, and also combines a moderate academic style for a more specialized educational audience. Nonetheless, it is an avowedly experimental collective attempt that hints at a different kind of politics, but in this volume neither the new politics nor the alternative ethical framework is defined.
