“…This implies a changing role of policy making which exceeds the direct promotion of investments in research and development and requires much more co-ordination, orientation, facilitation of self-organisation, and the promotion of interdisciplinary approaches. Such a policy is in line with arguments based on the systems theory which call for a high level of participation for co-designing and the shaping of technological development, also triggered by constructing common visions for the future development (Weber, 2005;Joly et al, 2010).…”

Abstract:While new organisational models of innovation were intensively discussed in the last decade, there is little systematic exploration concerning their potential for different sectors and areas and their wider implications for economy and society. We present findings from an international foresight project which analyses and discusses the emergence and diffusion of new innovation patterns and their consequences for innovation policy. Based on a collection of international practice examples from industry and society, innovation visions have been generated and assessed involving different experts from all over Europe. A generic trend identified can be best described as open, distributed and networked innovation process which is to a certain extent already addressed in current innovation policy making. However, other trends such as the increased use of information technologies or new spatial shifts related to organising and doing innovation have rather been underestimated so far and will require new policy responses in the future.

“…Nevertheless, geoengineering has, despite myriad uncertainties about its doability and desirability, rapidly acquired a deterministic frame, based on the assumption that it is ‘cheap’ and ‘easy’. Following the pattern of what Joly and colleagues ( 2010 ) call the ‘economics of techno-scientific promises’, geoengineering has been naturalised by its researchers, treated as a thing in the world to be understood rather than a highly controversial, highly speculative set of technological fix proposals.…”

Geoengineering as Collective Experimentation

Geoengineering is defined as the ‘deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth’s climatic system with the aim of reducing global warming’. The technological proposals for doing this are highly speculative. Research is at an early stage, but there is a strong consensus that technologies would, if realisable, have profound and surprising ramifications. Geoengineering would seem to be an archetype of technology as social experiment, blurring lines that separate research from deployment and scientific knowledge from technological artefacts. Looking into the experimental systems of geoengineering, we can see the negotiation of what is known and unknown. The paper argues that, in renegotiating such systems, we can approach a new mode of governance—collective experimentation. This has important ramifications not just for how we imagine future geoengineering technologies, but also for how we govern geoengineering experiments currently under discussion.

“…Actually, innovation studies identified these dynamics as characteristic of innovative devices. In line with the work of Joly (2013) on the economy of technoscientific promises, or Flichy (2003) on imaginaries of innovation, or Rajan (2012) on promise as a symptom of technoscientific capitalism (Flichy, 2003;Joly, Rip, & Callon, 2013;Rajan, 2012), our analysis brings out a clear 'promising communication' at stake in mHealth discourses (Quet, 2012). All those promises contribute to promote the mobile phone as a 'simply brilliant' innovation for health.…”

Health at her fingertips: development, gender and empowering mobile technologies

This paper examines 'mobile health' or 'mHealth' programs that are using mobile phones to improve maternal health in the developing world. Whereas its implementers present mobile health as a neutral, universal, accessible and 'smart' empowering technology for women, we will question this empowering effect and analyze how the device transforms gender inequalities on the ground. To this end, we will use empirical data collected on a global mHealth program deployed in Ghana and India. Informed by gender, postcolonial, science and technology studies, we offer a critical analysis of these new devices using mobile phones to 'empower' women in the Global South. This multisite analysis highlights the gender gap and male domination in accessing mobile phones in rural India and Ghana. It also reveals how mHealth devices can negate the multifactorial dimension of gender and health inequalities, how these global assemblages are renegotiating local power relations and enhancing gender imbalance and health disparities for women in these villages.
