Nano Dreams and Nightmares: Emerging Technoscience and the Framing and (re) Interpreting of the Future, Present and Past

並列摘要


Imagined nanotechnology futures are polarised between utopian dreams and apocalyptic nightmares. This paper provides an introduction to nanotechnology, a highly complex research and policy realm, and the contesting of ”nano-futures”. How the future and past are mobilised during the development of emerging technologies is of particular interest. Drawing on work in the field of Science and Technology Studies, which distinguishes between 'looking into' and 'looking at' the future, nanotechnology's intensely future-oriented dynamic is assessed. These dynamics have implications for the understanding of change processes and images of the future, as well as for constructive engagement with ”nanotechnology”.
