Reading the collection longitudinally rather than focusing on a single image, the essay traces shifts from early spectacles of industrial scale to midcentury abstractions of refinery monumentality and, by the 1970s, to people-centered depictions of safety, environmental care, and scientific expertise. Focusing on seismic testing imagery produced in the wake of environmental crisis and regulatory change, the essay argues that contradiction within the archive is historically revealing. The API's photographs simultaneously celebrate technological expansion and attempt to rehabilitate oil's public image.

By comparing how electricity affected Finnish and English inhabitants through essays collected between 1958 and 1964, this article examines how rural populations addressed, negotiated, and expressed technological change at both individual and communal levels. Scrutinizing electric lighting illustrates how cultural and societal contexts shaped early responses to electrification and the challenges it posed to rural life. The main findings show that English writers expressed nostalgia for the pre-electrification rituals such as lighting the oil lamp, while Finnish writers described international tensions surrounding new lighting practices. Unpacking these narratives reveals how people intertwine technology with their lives.

Yet it posed serious risks of lamp explosion, claiming lives and destroying property. This article intervenes in histories of energy and technology that privilege large-scale infrastructures and imperial rivalry by shifting attention to small-scale instruments. It argues that flashpoint testers-devices designed to measure everyday risk-forged a transimperial collaboration between the United States and Britain. Diverse flashpoint testers gave rise to different risk cultures. While the United States developed a vernacular culture in which ordinary users managed safety themselves, Britain cultivated an administrative one, with trained inspectors enforcing standardized regulations. As the latter approach proved more reliable, kerosene importers entrusted Britain with the role of governing kerosene's risk in global markets, while the United States took on the role of a manufacturer, conforming to the British standard. By showing how the flashpoint tester made risk measurable, negotiable, and governable, this article argues that such practices enabled the rapid expansion of the petroleum economy through transimperial collaboration, while also reshaping how historians understand the making of energy systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"67 3","pages":"795-823"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148664771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developed in response to rising workplace amputations during the Great Leap Forward, hand replantation became more than a surgical technique confined to the operating room. Drawing on medical journals, propaganda materials, and municipal archives, the article argues that replantation functioned as a \"remediating\" practice that repaired injured bodies while mediating the social ruptures of accelerated industrialization. Surgeons, workers, transportation systems, and improvised materials formed \"chains of rescue\" linking bodily trauma to socialist ideals of labor protection and collective mobilization. Hand replantation also crossed geopolitical divides-shifting from the Sino-Soviet split to Third World medical aid and Sino-U.S. scientific exchange.

Using the global history of road safety as a case study, the article shows that safety regimes designed for car-centered societies often failed in contexts characterized by layered traffic, informal mobility systems, and different patterns of risk.

Amid postwar reconstruction, decolonization, and Cold War tensions, desalination symbolized progress and promised equitable, universally accessible fresh water. Yet, despite its compelling appeal, desalination was prohibitively expensive compared to existing sources of water, with numerous technical and economic uncertainties remaining unresolved. By looking at the cases of Tunisia and Chile, this article explores the techno-political mismatch between utopian visions of desalination solving water scarcity across any geography and the political, financial, and environmental realities of implementation. As a form of hope and aspiration, desalination demonstrates how high-modernist ideals materialized unevenly, shaped by diverse and contested global contexts. By tracing this transnational pursuit, the article foregrounds a significant yet relatively unknown global history of technological optimism and shows how universalist visions ran up against local geographies and postcolonial development agendas.</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"67 1","pages":"93-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146100936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
