Synopsis

This volume shows how nanotechnology takes on a wide range of socio-historically specific meanings in the context of globalization, across multiple localities, institutions and collaborations, through diverse industries, research labs, and government agencies and in a variety of discussions within the public sphere itself. It explores the early origins of nanotechnologies, the social, economic, and political organization of the field, and the cultural and subjective meanings ascribed to nanotechnologies in social settings.
