"In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance-the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands. She centers the voices of people who resist residual governance and the harms of toxic mining waste to highlight how mining's centrality to South African history reveals the links between race, capitalism, the state, and the environment. In this way, Hecht shows how the history of mining in South Africa and the resistance to residual governance and environmental degradation is a planetary story: the underlying logic of residual governance lies at the heart of contemporary global racial capitalism and is a major accelerant of the Anthropocene"--

This collection explores how technologies become forms of power, how people embed their authority in technological systems, and how the machines and the knowledge that make up technical systems strengthen or reshape social, political, and cultural power. The authors suggest ways in which a more nuanced investigation of technology's complex history can enrich our understanding of the changing meanings of modernity. They consider the relationship among the state, expertise, and authority; the construction of national identity; changes in the structure and distribution of labor; political ideology and industrial development; and political practices during the Cold War. The essays show how insight into the technological aspects of such broad processes can help synthesize material and cultural methods of inquiry and how reframing technology's past in broader historical terms can suggest new directions for science and technology studies.The essays were written in honor of Thomas Parke Hughes and Agatha Chipley Hughes, whose spirit of inquiry they seek to continue.ContributorsJanet Abbate, Michael Thad Allen, W. Bernard Carlson, Gabrielle Hecht, Erik P. Rau, Eric Schatzberg, Amy Slaton, John Staudenmaier, Edmund N. Todd, Hans Weinberger

À une époque où l’existence et la nature de l’armement, conventionnel ou nucléaire, sont questionnées par les bouleversements géopolitiques et stratégiques, le recours à une perspective historique et comparative est indispensable. Pour comprendre les relations complexes entre armement et nation, cet ouvrage propose pour la première fois une histoire longue des systèmes d’innovation, de production et d’usage en matière d’armement. Principalement axé sur la France, il entend développer de nombreux points de comparaison entre pays, s’attarder sur les structures comme sur les hommes, analyser les techniques comme les modes productifs, regarder les ingénieurs de l’armement comme le monde des industriels et celui des savants. Dans le cas français, l’ingénierie des armements relève du monde administratif et technique « ordinaire » et les corps d’armement ont joué un rôle pionnier dans de nombreux champs scientifiques et techniques, dans la géodésie, l’instrumentation et la métrologie notamment, ou encore dans la rationalisation industrielle. Ce volume, issu d’un colloque organisé par le Comité pour l’histoire de l’armement, propose un panorama complet du système français d’innovation en matière d’armement depuis deux siècles. Une vingtaine de chercheurs français et étrangers - historiens, économistes et sociologues - se sont attachés à combler une lacune historiographique. Le lecteur y trouvera informations inédites, thèses de qualité et motifs à réflexion.
