The author focuses on three German discourses of \"intelligence\" that emerged in different historical contexts and served to justify the creation of different political institutions: the early modern conception of \"intelligence\" as a network of economically relevant information; nineteenth-century theories that portrayed \"intelligence\" as a central power structure of the state; and the notion of intelligence, or intelligentsia, as a social group that emerged around 1900. Drawing on these examples, the article develops a new approach to analysing diverse discourses of intelligence and fundamentally challenges the coherence of the established historiography on the subject. The author addresses the following questions: How did \"intelligence\" render various scientific theories plausible? Which imagined political and social structures were legitimised by the corresponding discourses of intelligence? And which social actors acquired agency through references to \"intelligence\"?","PeriodicalId":43143,"journal":{"name":"NTM","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148819838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial reception was ambiguous. Local people feared the loss of land, of traditional fishing rights in the nearby River Severn, and radioactive fallout. In unison, the parish council rejected the project, but accepted that the majority of Thornbury Rural District, to which it belonged, welcomed it as something that was in the national interest, was deemed safe by experts, and was a source of pride. In May, an exhibition on nuclear energy was opened in Thornbury to convince local people of the technology's benefits. It was a first step in a long row of measures taken to argue for the power station and its positive contribution to the area. This paper demonstrates that the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) and with it, the British state, as an early adopter of nuclear power, never ceased to fight for the technology's acceptance, but faced challenges ranging from initial local skepticism to transnational catastrophes such as Chernobyl. In doing so, the CEGB resorted to a variety of measures, from the initial exhibition to large open days, and profited from institutionalized ones, namely public inquiries and a \"Local Liaison Committee\" functioning as a hinge between the power plant and its neighborhood. The paper thereby uncovers the often mundane practices by which technology acceptance was produced and maintained on the ground.","PeriodicalId":43143,"journal":{"name":"NTM","volume":" ","pages":"139-163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13249664/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147345451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They discussed whether energy saving and renewable energies or nuclear energy should be supported as a long-term technology. The debate on technology acceptance was not only sparked by questions of economic efficiency and the risks of nuclear energy use. It was also shaped by the dispute over regulatory instruments, consumer participation, and the organization of the energy system. The example of energy saving shows how much these scientific and political debates were determined by fears of technological as well as political path dependencies and their repercussions for the state. The paper thus proposes that the acceptance of state regulation be considered, for a better understanding of technology acceptance. The analysis of both the scientific debates and political negotiation processes together with letters from citizens to the federal government show that the criterion of distributive fairness influenced the acceptance of energy saving as a technology. Scientists, politicians, and citizens widely acknowledged that energy saving was compatible with a fair distribution of technical progress, private comfort, and economic growth, which promoted its acceptance. Moreover, their interpretation of distributive fairness also reveals an affirmative attitude towards the state and its ability to implement an acceptable energy system.","PeriodicalId":43143,"journal":{"name":"NTM","volume":" ","pages":"197-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13249662/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147445463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even when electronic data processing (EDP) was introduced in German-speaking Protestant churches in Western Europe, a lack of acceptance of technology was repeatedly problematized by church digitization pioneers as a central hurdle in church digitization processes. According to them, the \"synchronization\" (David Gugerli) of church and computer was therefore to prove particularly prone to conflict. This paper analyzes the discursive function of the recourse to the \"technophobic church\" (technikfeindliche Kirche) in digitization debates in the Swiss and West German Protestant churches from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. It argues that the portrayal of the church's pronounced hostility to technology went beyond an empirically verifiable technophobia and served discursive purposes. The \"technophobic church\" and technophobia in the church were widely and publicly lamented in order to evoke widespread clichés that church digitization pioneers could use to mobilize support from the broader public, both inside and outside the church, for their position in inner-church disputes about power and hierarchy, as well as to conjure scenarios of computer use. These findings therefore suggest that the influence of cultural and technological pessimism in church circles is often overestimated.","PeriodicalId":43143,"journal":{"name":"NTM","volume":" ","pages":"165-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13249689/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147391365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the postwar years, Vattenfall had become one of the main drivers of Sweden's technological modernization through electrification and the exploitation of hydropower resources in Northern Sweden. Yet, this postwar hydro boom faced increasingly powerful protests from both civil society and local communities, putting Vattenfall's construction plans at stake and spurring an intense public relations campaign. This paper examines Vattenfall's PR materials, and especially the large body of films produced in the context of this acceptance crisis. The first half of the paper offers a close reading of these materials, demonstrating how Vattenfall addressed conflicts around hydropower exploitation as a matter of individual \"adaptation\" to modernity. With this framing, Vattenfall drew upon a much broader adaptation discourse, analyzed in the second half of the paper. This discourse shaped public and political debates about technological and social modernization in postwar Sweden and corresponded with the social engineering ideals of the \"people's home\" (folkhemmet) and Sweden's welfare state. Social scientists, politicians, managers, trade unionists, and others developed the idea that the challenges of modernization should be met by the adaptation of people's individual behaviors and emotions to their rapidly changing social and technological environments. Arguing for a history of emotions approach in the study of histories of \"technology acceptance,\" this paper thus demonstrates how river engineering in postwar Sweden relied on emotional engineering techniques through PR: framing social conflicts over hydropower as individual adaptation processes facilitated the depoliticization of technological choice.","PeriodicalId":43143,"journal":{"name":"NTM","volume":" ","pages":"109-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13249738/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147436309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recent find at the Department of Anatomy in Vienna has now provided us with this long missing source material reaching with a short interruption from 1924 all the way into the first decades of the Second Republic.While this gap in source material has presented itself as an in some cases insurmountable issue for researchers, for example regarding the NS-era and the Pernkopf-Atlas during the late 1990ies, this find now provides ample opportunity for inquiries both for this time frame and beyond. This contribution shows the value the newly rediscovered books hold as source material based on a short study regarding the bodies of the nine individuals whose bodies were transferred to the Viennese Anatomical Institute after their execution during the Second Republic between 1945 and 1950. This example illustrates that this find will enable new research in the form of single case studies, serial inquiries and statistical analysis alike which without this discovery would remain impossible.","PeriodicalId":43143,"journal":{"name":"NTM","volume":" ","pages":"33-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13031191/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146086969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
