Raw material activities refer to the full range of human and technical labor involved in construction materials-including planning, extraction, transportation, processing, and even the erasure of material traces after use. In the case of the Soyang Dam, examining this labor illuminates competing visions of national development, economic interests, environmental commodification, and the dispossession of both humans and nonhumans in rural areas. Recognizing the materiality of raw materials is essential to fully grasp the often-overlooked infrastructural impacts on society and the environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"66 4","pages":"1079-1107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145330634","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}

They do not always behave as intended; instead, infrastructures-or parts of them-can become irritants. This article introduces the idea of \"irritants\" to highlight the disruptive and generative capacities of the material world. Through a case study of the Guri Dam in Venezuela during the 1960s, it examines how engineers responded to the jamming sluice gates that threatened the dam's stability. Drawing on Jane Bennett's notion of \"thing-power,\" the article attributes agency to the gates themselves. Initially, engineers lacked a clear solution; and only after a prolonged process of experimentation and the introduction of new technical objects, such as custom-built grids, was the issue resolved.

Through these shifts, the brewing industry redefined taste as a techno-scientific concern, reshaping professional roles and positioning sensory assessment as a critical site of negotiation between traditional craftsmanship and scientific authority in twentieth-century food industries. From the late nineteenth century to the 1930s, Stockholms bryggerier shifted from a \"guild regime\" of sensory judgment, led by traditionally trained brewmasters, to a \"laboratory regime\" grounded in techno-scientific methods. Central to this transformation was the difference test, which standardized flavor assessment amid political tensions between Sweden's temperance movement and the brewing industry over beer's alcohol content and sensory appeal. This article shows how the difference test transformed sensory practices into a politically and scientifically mediated process.</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"66 1","pages":"185-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383573","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}

This roundtable explores four areas of contention: how to conceptualize \"the global\"; why, how and with whom to study \"history\" amid threatened \"futures\"; how to articulate and delineate the field's subject matter (\"technology\"); and how researchers can collaborate equitably within and across diverse sites around the globe. Building on these discussions, we propose three themes for further conversation: how to transcend the North-South binary without disregarding its critical insights; how to balance the use of locally specific vocabularies with quasi-global terms; and how to develop collaborative relationships with those whose histories historians document, fostering joint experimentation with \"historiographical interventions.\"</p>","PeriodicalId":49446,"journal":{"name":"Technology and Culture","volume":"66 1","pages":"11-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383595","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}
