History of Technology in Global Perspectives

Abstract

Global developments influence the concepts and content of scholarly research.The article aims to make these influences visible by analysing changes in the ideas and concepts of the history of technology.Thus, the paper presents different approaches to, and topics of, the history of technology, as developed by nine researchers, embedded in their characteristic cultures of scholarship all over the world.In doing so, the paper contributes to a transnational comparison of methodologies and contents of the history of technology.It also reflects on how the history of technology sees itself as an academic discipline and how it contributes to ongoing discourses on broader societal challenges.
