The idea of a socio-technical imaginary is based on the concept of co-production, which holds that knowledge/ideas and materiality/technological artefacts are both a product of and constitutive of social practices.
We aim to discuss the analytical potential of this concept and to analyze its merits and shortcomings in relation to ongoing research into technology.
The value of the concept is currently being explored in the research project “Danish Civil Defence during the Cold War” (DACIDE), funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark.
