The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity was hailed as a major scientific breakthrough, inducing an unprecedented excitement and expectation among the scientific community and in the international press. This book sets this research breakthrough in context, and reconstructs the history of the discovery. The authors analyse the emergence of this new research field and the way its development was shaped by scientists and science policy-makers. They also examine the various settings in which the research was undertaken, as well as considering the scientific backgrounds and motivations of researchers who entered the field following the original discovery. The industrial connection and the general belief in promises of future applications were important elements in strategies devised to obtain funding. A remarkable factor in this process was the media's role. The sustained attention that followed the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity resulted in it being seen as the symbol of a new technological frontier. - Häftad, Engelska, 1996

"Helga Nowotny's exploration of the forms and meaning of time in contemporary life is panoramic without in any way partaking of the blandness of a survey. From the artificial time of the scientific laboratory to the distinctively modern yearning for one’s own time, she regards every topic in this wide-ranging book from a fresh angle of vision, one which reveals unsuspected affinities between the bravest, newest worlds of global technology and the most ancient worlds of myth."--Lorraine Daston, University of ChicagoThis book represents a major contribution to the understanding of time, giving particular attention to time in relation to modernity. The development of industrialism, the author points out, was based upon a linear and abstract conception of time. Today we see that form of production, and the social institutions associated with it, supplanted by flexible specialization and just-in-time production systems. New information and communication technologies have made a fundamental impact here. But what does all this mean for temporal regimes? How can we understand the transformation of time and space involved in the bewildering variety of options on offer in a postmodern world? The author provides an incisive analysis of the temporal implications of modern communication. She considers the implications of worldwide simultaneous experience, made possible by satellite technologies, and considers the reorganization of time involved in the continuous technological innovation that marks our era. In this puzzling universe of action, how does one achieve a 'time of one's own'? The discovery of a specific time perspective centred in the individual, she shows, expresses a yearning for forms of experience that are subversive of established institutional patterns. This brilliant study, became a classic in Germany, will be of interest to students and professionals working in the areas of social theory, sociology, politics and anthropology. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2001

Re-Thinking Science presents an account of the dynamic relationship between society and science. Despite the mounting evidence of a much closer, interactive relationship between society and science, current debate still seems to turn on the need to maintain a 'line' to demarcate them. The view persists that there is a one-way communication flow from science to society - with scant attention given to the ways in which society communicates with science. The authors argue that changes in society now make such communications both more likely and more numerous, and that this is transforming science not only in its research practices and the institutions that support it but also deep in its epistemological core. To explain these changes, Nowotny, Scott and Gibbons have developed an open, dynamic framework for re-thinking science. The authors conclude that the line which formerly demarcated society from science is regularly transgressed and that the resulting closer interaction of science and society signals the emergence of a new kind of science: contextualized or context-sensitive science. The co-evolution between society and science requires a more or less complete re-thinking of the basis on which a new social contract between science and society might be constructed. In their discussion the authors present some of the elements that would comprise this new social contract. - Häftad, Engelska, 2001

Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge and an inherent component of scientific research. We have developed many ways of coping with uncertainty. We make promises, manage risks and make predictions to try to clear the mists and predict ahead. But the future is inherently uncertain - and the mist that shrouds our path an inherent part of our journey. The burning question is whether our societies can face up to uncertainty, learn to embrace it and whether we can open up to a constantly evolving future.In this new book, Helga Nowotny shows how research can thrive at the cusp of uncertainty. Science, she argues, can eventually transform uncertainty into certainty, but into certainty which remains always provisional.Uncertainty is never completely static. It is constantly evolving. It encompasses geological time scales and, at the level of human experience, split-second changes as cells divide. Life and death decisions are taken in the blink of the eye, while human interactions with the natural environment may reveal their impact over millennia.Uncertainty is cunning. It appears at unexpected moments, it shuns the straight line, takes the oblique route and sometimes the unexpected short-cut. As we acknowledge the cunning of uncertainty, its threats retreat. We accept that any scientific inquiry must produce results that are provisional and uncertain. This message is vital for politicians and policy-makers: do not be tempted by small, short-term, controllable gains to the exclusion of uncertain, high-gain opportunities.Wide-ranging in its use of examples and enriched by the author’s experience as President of the European Research Council, one of the world’s leading funding organisations for fundamental research. The Cunning of Uncertainty is a must-read for students and scholars of all disciplines, politicians, policy-makers and anyone concerned with the fundamental role of knowledge and science in our societies today. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

In this provocative and broad-ranging work, the authors argue that the ways in which knowledge - scientific, social and cultural - is produced are undergoing fundamental changes at the end of the twentieth century. They claim that these changes mark a distinct shift into a new mode of knowledge production which is replacing or reforming established institutions, disciplines, practices and policies.Identifying features of the new mode of knowledge production - reflexivity, transdisciplinarity, heterogeneity - the authors show how these features connect with the changing role of knowledge in social relations. While the knowledge produced by research and development in science and technology is accorded central concern, the authors also outline the changing dimensions of social scientific and humanities knowledge and the relations between the production of knowledge and its dissemination through education.

One of the most persistent concerns about the future is whether it will be dominated by the predictive algorithms of AI – and, if so, what this will mean for our behaviour, for our institutions and for what it means to be human. AI changes our experience of time and the future and challenges our identities, yet we are blinded by its efficiency and fail to understand how it affects us.At the heart of our trust in AI lies a paradox: we leverage AI to increase our control over the future and uncertainty, while at the same time the performativity of AI, the power it has to make us act in the ways it predicts, reduces our agency over the future. This happens when we forget that that we humans have created the digital technologies to which we attribute agency. These developments also challenge the narrative of progress, which played such a central role in modernity and is based on the hubris of total control. We are now moving into an era where this control is limited as AI monitors our actions, posing the threat of surveillance, but also offering the opportunity to reappropriate control and transform it into care.As we try to adjust to a world in which algorithms, robots and avatars play an ever-increasing role, we need to understand better the limitations of AI and how their predictions affect our agency, while at the same time having the courage to embrace the uncertainty of the future. - E-bokEngelska, 2021

Underlying the current dynamics of technological developments, their divergence or convergence and the abundance of options, promises and risks they contain, is the quest for innovation, the contributors to this volume argue. The seemingly insatiable demand for novelty coincides with the rise of modern science and the onset of modernity in Western societies. Never before has the Baconian dream been so close to becoming reality: wrapped into a globalizing capitalism that seeks ever expanding markets for new products, artifacts and designs and new processes that lead to gains in efficiency, productivity and profit. However, approaching these developments through a wider historical and cultural perspectives, means to raise questions about the plurality of cultures, the interaction between "hardware" and "software" and about the nature of the interfaces where technology meets with economic, social, legal, historical constraints and opportunities. The authors come to the conclusion that inside a seemingly homogenous package and a seemingly universal quest for innovation many differences remain.

The Sociology of the Sciences represents one of the most vivid fields in the social sciences today. From a former subfield of sociology, social studies of science and technology (STS) have transformed into a transdisciplinary field of research in its own right - reflecting the still growing dynamics of techno-science in modern societies.The two volume set, The Sociology of the Sciences, is an attempt to map out the broad range of contemporary studies covered in this transdisciplinary research field. The ten sections in the two volumes include selected articles from the most relevant areas of contemporary social studies of science, ranging from studies of scientific knowledge to science policy issues, from the gender-related questions in science to the relations between science and the public. - Del 1052 - suhrkamp taschenbücher wissenschaft

Science has development from a self-evident public good to being highly valued in other contexts for different reasons: strengthening the economic competitiveness and, especially in high-tech fields, as a financial investment for future gains. This has been accompanied by a shift from public to private funding with intellectual property rights gaining importance. But in contemporary democracies citizens have also begun to voice their concerns about science and technology related risks, demanding greater participation in decision-making and in the setting of research priorities. The book examines the legal issues and responses vis-à-vis these transformations of the nature of public science. It discusses their normative content as well as the inherent limitations of the law in meeting these challenges. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2005

Las man in früheren Zeiten im Vogelflug oder in den Eingeweiden von Tieren, um sich die Angst vor dem, was kommen mag, zu nehmen, erlauben uns heute Algorithmen einen nahezu unfehlbaren Blick in die Zukunft. Doch das Vertrauen in das prognostizierende Vermögen von künstlicher Intelligenz birgt Risiken und lässt allzu schnell ein fatalistisches Bild entstehen: Indem wir uns der technologischen Mittel bedienen, um die Kontrolle über Zukunft und Ungewissheit zu erhöhen, büßen wir zusehends unsere Handlungs- und Gestaltungsfähigkeit und also auch Kontrolle ein – Vorhersagen werden zu Bestimmungen, Möglichkeiten zu Richtwerten und der Mensch wird auf die Rolle des bloßen Erfüllungsgehilfen reduziert. Damit dies nicht zur selbsterfüllenden Prophezeiung wird, gilt es, sich daran zu erinnern, dass es der Mensch ist, der die digitalen Technologien geschaffen hat, denen er Wirkmacht zuschreibt. Es gilt, wie Helga Nowotny mit bestechendem Optimismus nachweist, sich der eigenen Wirkmacht bewusst zu werden und eine Zukunft zu ermöglichen, die zu gleichen Teilen aus menschlichem Geist und mechanischen Geräten besteht.- Inbunden, Tyska, 2026

Wissenschaft ist das zutiefst gesellschaftlich geprägte Unterfangen, die Welt nicht einfach hinzunehmen, sondern sich vorzustellen, sie könnte auch anders sein. Wissenschaft ist getragen von der Freude am Spiel mit der Ungewissheit, die dazu verleitet, sich auf noch unbekanntes Terrain zu wagen. Von der Freude, etwas zu entdecken, was man noch nicht weiß. Dabei ist jede wissenschaftliche Entdeckung immer auch eine Entdeckung des eigenen Blicks, wie Helga Nowotny in ihren Erinnerungen mit unerschrockener Offenheit beweist. Von ihren Anfängen in der Wissenschaftsforschung und Technologiewissenschaft, wo sie mit bürokratischen Hürden in einem von Männern dominierten Feld konfrontiert war, bis hin zu ihrer einflussreichen Rolle bei der Gestaltung des Europäischen Forschungsrats – stets stand ihre Arbeit in Wechselwirkung mit ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen und Prägungen, kurz ihrem Leben.Helga Nowotny verleiht in ihrem Wissenschaftsmemoir mit unstillbarer Neugier, Weitsicht und Weisheit ihren Einsichten einen glanzvollen Ausdruck, der Mut macht: Mut, gegen den Strich zu denken, Mut zur kompetenten Rebellion. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

El progreso social puede verse como un objetivo a alcanzar o como una amenaza de la que conviene apartarse. En décadas recientes hemos atestiguado el declive de la pobreza mundial y el arribo de la democracia a numerosos países, la ampliación de programas de salud y educación, con innegables mejoras en la esperanza y la calidad de vida, pero a la vez reina una atmósfera de escepticismo sobre la posibilidad —y la conveniencia— de inducir un progreso social como el alcanzado por las sociedades más desarrolladas, con su cauda de desigualdad y sus costos ambientales. En busca de soluciones a los problemas globales, el Panel Internacional sobre Progreso Social reunió a más de 300 científicos sociales para que, con base en estudios novedosos, con una vocación multidisciplinaria y una mirada prospectiva, revisaran numerosas opciones de cambio social a largo plazo, exploraran los retos actuales y propusieran formas de mejorar las principales instituciones de las sociedades modernas. De ese trabajo colaborativo surge este manifiesto, en el que el ánimo utópico convive con el pragmatismo, en el que la búsqueda de justicia es compatible con el fortalecimiento de actores clave, como la empresa o el mercado. La conclusión es simple y a la vez entraña enormes complicaciones: sí es posible una sociedad mejor pero urge armonizar diversas fuerzas. Para lograr un cambio cultural de grandes proporciones, se requiere una audaz mezcla de idealismo y sensatez. Es lo que este manifiesto ofrece. - Del 2015 - RJ:s årsbok

Mer världsledande forskning, mer internationalisering, mer mobilitet, mer open access, mer impact, mer humanistiska perspektiv på andra vetenskaper, mer forskningsanknytning i undervisningen. Mer av det mesta, helt enkelt Men hur bör svensk forskning organiseras och finansieras för att åstadkomma allt detta? Frågorna rymmer en rad problem och dilemman. Hur bör fördelningen mellan stora program och små projekt se ut? Ska forskningsansökningar utvärderas med hänsyn till de sökandes tidigare prestationer, exempelvis genom bibliometri, eller utifrån förväntade resultat? Vilken vikt ska fästas vid konkret samhällsnytta? Ska bedömningar i huvudsak ske av andra forskare genom peer review? Hur undviker man i så fall att allt mer av forskarnas tid går åt till att utvärdera andra forskare? Och vilken konkret roll ska forskningen spela i den akademiska undervisningen? På universiteten som helhet? Eller för den delen i politiken? Borde inte forskare i högre grad sprida sina resultat just till beslutsfattare och allmänhet nå ut långt mer än i dag? Numera betalas mer än hälften av svensk universitetsforskning av forskningsfinansiärer som står utanför lärosätena. Här finns statliga myndigheter men också fristående organ. Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ) är en stiftelse som främjar och stöder humanistisk och samhällsvetenskaplig forskning. Denna bok ges ut med anledning av fondens femtioårsjubileum 2015 och är ett försök att tänka vidare i frågor om forskningens framtid.
