Dealing with what we propose as ::Citizen Management of Technology:: Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:26:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Presenting work at the Centre de Sociologie de l’Innovation (CSI) http://wifi-r.molekulab.net/presenting-work-at-the-centre-de-sociologie-de-linnovation-csi/ http://wifi-r.molekulab.net/presenting-work-at-the-centre-de-sociologie-de-linnovation-csi/#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:20:18 +0000 Yann Bona http://wifi-r.molekulab.net/?p=175 On July , 8th some people (Including myself…) at the CSI  are presenting their work at the monthly seminar.  After giving some thought, I chose to present a fragment of a chapter of my thesis which I am currently working on (In French…). It will draw on some recent findings here in Paris concerning WiFi and deepen into the history of routers. This is, how a huge armchair-like machine ended up in our homes as a cute closed-box with an antenna.

Hopefully enough it won’t be that boring (given that the chapter could qualify for an honorific membership from the Society of People Interested in Boring Things.) Nevertheless, the goal is to provide a topological approach of the knots and tendencies to which routers have been attached and how these very attachments changed what they are / were since the late ’60’s.

That said, I am expecting great comments from people at the CSI seminar. It is not everyday that you can have your work commented by STS people :)

RAX!
