{"title":"Contending sustainability agencements and the future world","authors":"Kenneth R. Zimmerman","doi":"10.1109/ISTAS.2009.5155913","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISTAS.2009.5155913","url":null,"abstract":"Almost the entire history of philosophy during the late 20th and early 21st centuries has consisted of efforts to correct and update the philosophical heritage of the 17th and 18th centuries, the heritage that provided the outline and substance for the science and technology we know today. Similarly, much of the current work of science and the study of science and technology by Anthropology and science and technologies studies focuses on correcting and updating the physical and social sciences that emerged from the now being reformed 17th and 18th centuries philosophy. It should come as no surprise then that the current “sociotechnical agencement” that is dominant for sustainability is based on the challenged 17th and 18th philosophy and the science and technology that sprang from it. It should also not be a surprise that this situation has led to a very lively challenge to this dominant sociotechnical agencement and the presentation of literally dozens of proposed replacement agencements for sustainability. This paper attempts to describe the current situation “on the ground” in this ongoing clash. First, I attempt to describe the sociotechnical agencement that currently dominates sustainability and a little of its history? Second, I attempt to describe why this agencement is now failing and what the consequences of its failure are? Third, I attempt to describe the basics of the agencements that are now contending to control sustainability? Finally, I seek to describe the various convergences and divergences of these contending agencements, and possible combinations of the contending agencements, as well as their potential consequences for people and planet earth?","PeriodicalId":262750,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129030417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the 24th of August 1998, just over a decade ago, Professor Warwick became the first man to officially implant a radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponder under his skin. This paper explores Warwick's achievements, motivations, and chipping experience, offering a unique insight into the ethical dilemmas and controversy surrounding implantable devices for identification purposes, interactive environments and the potential for location-based services. The authors employed a qualitative research strategy. A case study of Professor Kevin Warwick and his research endeavors are presented in a narrative form. The study used three approaches to collect data for the case study- (i) an email questionnaire, (ii) a primary interview, and (iii) secondary documentary sources about Warwick. The data itself is analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The outcome of the research is a contextual account of Warwick's motivations towards the scientific study of implantable computing for the sake of medical progress; one of the approaches which (at least in this instance) underpins chip implant research for human benefit.","PeriodicalId":262750,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133736084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In reality, however, their introduction has been slow due to a number of complex factors that have not been systematically examined. This research adopted a holistic approach to analyzing elements surrounding the introduction of SEETs in Japan. Through an adapted version of stakeholder analysis, we identified twenty one categories of stakeholders and nine large categories of environmental factors that facilitate and/or obstruct the introduction of SEETs. The analysis reveals the diversity of stakeholders and environmental factors, the existence of multi-sectoral issues, and the influence of cognition/information-based resources. These suggest the need for a new forum, with a different set of participants and agenda, for preparing strategies for promoting SEETs. Although our research was based on the data from Japan, most of these findings have implications to policy-making processes in other countries and at the international level.","PeriodicalId":262750,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129972439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
