Abstract

The truly trans- and interdisciplinary collection of articles at hand serves as an introduction to feminist critiques and methods relating to preconditions and procedures of technological processes. It becomes obvious how forms of discrimination relating among others to gender are encoded within the formation and transfer of technical knowledge, within processes of design and product development, and within the comsumption and use of technology. Unfortunately, intersectional factors and queer identities are adressed insufficiently in some cases. It is particularly interesting that within the volume, approaches are brought into focus that refer specifically to situated knowledge and strategies for action and that can be loosely associated with the so-called New Materialism.
