Travel Notes from the Shenyang–Benxi Conference (Shenyang Section)
The annual conference on phenomenology and philosophy of technology has once again come to a successful close. This year it was hosted by Northeastern University and held in Shenyang and Benxi from September 24 to 28. In my travel notes from the Lushan conference in 2013, I wrote: Since going to Nanning in 2009 to attend the Third Conference on Phenomenology and Philosophy of Technology, I have now participated in five consecutive conferences. Apart from Nanning, where I only wrote a little “miscellaneous notes,” I wrote full-on conference takedowns for Hailar, Yangma Island, and Guangzhou. It has already become a case of riding a tiger and finding it hard to…

An Introduction to the Historiography of the General History of Technology
Introduction to the Historiography of the General History of Technology //Note: this article has not yet been completed. I am only giving Wu laoshi an account in advance during the discussion… Next I will flesh out the concept of “the history of technological thought” a bit more. 1. A Survey of Western Research on the History of Technology In the English-speaking world, the history of technology as an academically institutionalized discipline roughly began in the 1950s.

Latour: Drawing Things Together Class Report
Postscript: The report’s effect should not count as bad, and it also received Teacher Ren’s highest praise. Still, I feel that many things were not explained clearly, because I myself was only able to read this article through after reading Science in Action. However, since the issues discussed in this article are not the same as those in Science in Action in terms of emphasis, when explaining this article it was very hard to weave in material from Science in Action and similar books. I tried to introduce some of it, but the result may not have been very good: on the one hand, a few words do not make…

Reading Notes on “Science in Action” (Prepared for the classroom report on Latour: Drawing Things Together)
[French]Bruno Latour: Science in Action, translated by Liu Wenxuan and Zheng Kai, Dongfang Publishing House, 2005 Although for the original course in the sociology of science the only assignment was to report on Latour: Drawing things together, if I had not first gone through this book, it would have been truly impossible to imagine myself managing to read that article… um… now I’ve finally figured out what Latour wants to do~~ 113[68] Any set-up or organizational structure, no matter how large or small, what sort of thing it is, or how much it costs, so long as it can provide any kind of visible display in a scientific text, I…
