Over the last decade or so, the field of science and technology
studies (STS) has become an intellectually dynamic
interdisciplinary arena. Concepts, methods, and theoretical
perspectives are being drawn both from long-established and
relatively young disciplines. From its origins in philosophical and
political debates about the creation and use of scientific
knowledge, STS has become a wide and deep space for the
consideration of the place of science and technology in the world,
past and present. The Routledge Handbook of Science, Technology and
Society seeks to capture the dynamism and breadth of the field by
presenting work that pushes the reader to think about science and
technology and their intersections with social life in new ways.
The interdisciplinary contributions by international experts in
this handbook are organized around six topic areas: embodiment
consuming technoscience digitization environments science as work
rules and standards This volume highlights a range of theoretical
and empirical approaches to some of the persistent - and new -
questions in the field. It will be useful for students and scholars
throughout the social sciences and humanities, including in science
and technology studies, history, geography, critical race studies,
sociology, communications, women's and gender studies,
anthropology, and political science.
In Legal Spectatorship Kelli Moore traces the political origins of
the concept of domestic violence through visual culture in the
United States. Tracing its appearance in Article IV of the
Constitution, slave narratives, police notation, cybernetic
theories of affect, criminal trials, and the "look" of the battered
woman, Moore contends that domestic violence refers to more than
violence between intimate partners-it denotes the mechanisms of
racial hierarchy and oppression that undergird republican
government in the United States. Moore connects the use of
photographic evidence of domestic violence in courtrooms, which
often stands in for women's testimony, to slaves' silent experience
and witnessing of domestic abuse. Drawing on Harriet Jacobs's
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, abolitionist print culture,
courtroom witness testimony, and the work of Hortense Spillers,
Moore shows how the logic of slavery and antiblack racism also
dictates the silencing techniques of the contemporary domestic
violence courtroom. By positioning testimony on contemporary
domestic violence prosecution within the archive of slavery, Moore
demonstrates that domestic violence and its image are haunted by
black bodies, black flesh, and black freedom. Duke University Press
