The Broken Boundaries between Science and Technology Studies and Cultural Sociology: Introduction to an Interview with Trevor Pinch
No full textThe article introduces and comments upon the themes developed in the interview with the sociologist of science and technology Trevor Pinch in this issue of Cultural Sociology. The paper outlines the trajectory of his work since the late 1970s, from the birth of Science and Technology Studies (STS), until his current interest in the relationship between music, technologies, and society. The paper focuses on the growth of the field of STS, pointing out the many interconnections between STS and the wide intellectual universe involving cultural studies, cultural sociology and symbolic interactionism. The paper also considers the leading role Trevor Pinch has played in the shaping of the field of 'sound studies', an interdisciplinary field focused on the study of the sonic dimensions of societies, tracing the initial development of this area and how it represents a new set of interconnections between STS and the sociological study of culture. © The Author(s) 2013
Studying Culture Differently: From Quantum Physics to the Music Synthesizer: An Interview with Trevor Pinch
No full textThis interview with Trevor Pinch, one of the most significant scholars in contemporary Science and Technology Studies (STS), reconstructs his career from the second half of the 1970s onwards, emphasizing the various points of contact and differences between social studies of science and technology, and several different approaches and authors in cultural sociology, cultural studies and culturalist approaches to the study of society. In doing so, the interview traces the evolution of debates in the sociological study of culture in relation to contemporaneous developments in the social study of science and technology. The interview moves on to explore one of the areas where Trevor Pinch has been active in recent years, namely the social and cultural study of music technologies. The interview ends with a reflection upon the political perspectives implicit in studies of science and technology generally, and in the work of Trevor Pinch particularly. © The Author(s) 2013

Warum die Geschichte digitaler Medien erforschen - und wie?
No full textGabriele Balbi und Paolo Magaudda haben mit dem Band A History of Digital Media - An Intermedia and Global Perspective (2018) erstmals einen übergreifenden Überblick zur Geschichte digitaler Medien und digitaler Medienkommunikation vorgelegt. Sie entwerfen dabei eine historische Perspektive, die einerseits die Wechselwirkungen zwischen verschiedenen alten und neuen Medien - analog und digital - berücksichtigt und andererseits die gesellschaftlichen (ökonomischen, politischen, soziokulturellen) und globalen Entwicklungskontexte digitaler Medien einbezieht. Der vorliegende Beitrag präsentiert die deutsche Übersetzung der konzeptionellen Einleitung zu diesem Buch. Darin begründen Balbi und Magaudda einen innovativen interdisziplinären theoretischen Zugang zur Geschichte digitaler Medien - bestehend aus Kommunikations- und Mediengeschichte, Cultural Studies, Science and Technology Studies und Politischer Ökonomie. Und sie zeigen, dass nur ein kritischer Blick, der gesellschaftlich und wissenschaftlich verbreitete Mythen und Vorstellungen hinterfragt und sich nicht nur auf die gerade aktuellen und erfolgreichen digitalen Medien fokussiert, der gesamten Komplexität der Geschichte digitaler Medien und digitaler Medienkommunikation gerecht wird
