Investigating Culturally-Contextualized Making with the Navajo Nation: Broadening the Normative Making Mentality Eng. Stud. (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2020-10-07 Daniel Z. Frank; Elliot P. Douglas; Darryl N. Williams; Carl D. Crane
ABSTRACT While the Maker Movement has grown over the past couple of decades, the normative understanding of what making is and who are recognized as makers has been largely defined by a limited perspective. This perspective threatens the very democratization that the Maker Movement has come to represent. To broaden the dominant narrative of making, this paper examines counter-stories in the form of

Roboticists’ Imaginaries of Robots for Care: The Radical Imaginary as a Tool for an Ethical Discussion Eng. Stud. (IF 1.167) Pub Date : 2020-09-16 Núria Vallès-Peris; Miquel Domènech
In this paper we analyze imaginaries about care robots using a set of interviews with roboticists. The study of imaginaries – from a notion close to that of Castoriadis’s radical imaginary – is used as a tool to unravel ethical, political and social concerns that care robots entail. From the analysis of the interviews, our results highlight that imaginaries regarding care robots are predominantly sustained
