This course aims to present the development and main concerns of Science and Technology Studies<\/em>, as well as to debate their implications to the comprehension, meaning, teaching and practice of the scientific and technological development. Western Science and technology have been historically presented and taught as a 'pure', 'universal' and 'neutral' knowledge, and therefore, separable from the social. STS propose that this 'purity' is senseless, since facts and artifacts only stabilize for short periods of time through the effect of a complex network of conditionalities and interactions, gathering heterogeneous materials and socializing human and non-human elements. Facts and artifacts are at the same time the result and the support of sociotechnical networks. The main argument is that this standpoint allows the erasing of many of the conventional modern borders established between natural and social sciences, showing that it is impossible to separate the 'natural' or 'technical' from the 'social' or 'cultural'.<\/p>\n This course aims to understand Science and Technology Studies as situated knowledges, striving to localize and discuss their challenges on approaching different Brazilian and Latin American particular realities in three movements: 1) The presentation of a historic overview of Brazilian scholars who are dedicated to the discussion of science and technology in Brazil, covering the period that starts with Fernando de Azevedo's book, Sciences in Brazil (1955) and finishes with contemporary productions, privileging those affiliated with STS; 2) The exploration of the works of Latin American scholars published in the first edition of Cuadernos Quipu - Revista Latinoamericana de Hist\u00f3ria de las Ciencias y la Tecnologia (1986); 3) The discussion of the connections, in STS terms, between Brazilian and Latin American scholars and North American and European scholars, looking for for and evaluating affinities and differences in order to identify new possibilities of techno-scientific studies and practices that are not merely an 'enforcement' of hegemonic Euro-North American knowledge to Latin American and Brazilian realities.<\/p>\n The course follows a sociotechnical history of computing, observing its Brazilian and Latin American branch in three phases: 1) A sociotechnical history of the beginnings of computing, exploring issues related to the invention of computers and its historiography (in particular the North American standpoint), investigating especially the bonds between the invention of computers and the Cold War; 2) A history of North American and British cybernetics, exploring the intellectual atmosphere of the founding debates in computing, especially the human-machine analogy, originally proposed by Norbert Wiener; 3) i) A history of computing in Brazil, from the arrival of the first large-sized computers, passing trought the experience of the market reserve for minicomputers until the arrival of Internet in the country; ii) Some elements for a history of computing in Latin America.<\/p>\n \u00c9 necess\u00e1rio, para n\u00e3o dizer urgente, ter em conta o novo ordenamento social que se est\u00e1 produzindo desde o surgimento e a ado\u00e7\u00e3o das novas tecnologias de informa\u00e7\u00e3o e comunica\u00e7\u00e3o. Investig\u00e1-lo \u00e9 crucial, seja para descortinar novas perspectivas de sucesso comercial e empresarial, seja para construir uma melhor qualidade de vida e uma sociedade mais justa. Estas novas tecnologias s\u00e3o reputadas como fonte de mudan\u00e7as radicais, e, neste caso, constituem um cen\u00e1rio no qual transformam significativamente v\u00e1rias dimens\u00f5es da vida moderna, entre outras a natureza e a experi\u00eancia das rela\u00e7\u00f5es e comunica\u00e7\u00f5es interpessoais, as rela\u00e7\u00f5es e condi\u00e7\u00f5es de trabalho, o modo de funcionamento do mundo dos neg\u00f3cios, da ind\u00fastria e da agroind\u00fastria, os processos educacionais, os modos de constru\u00e7\u00e3o do conhecimento ou ainda a formula\u00e7\u00e3o de pol\u00edticas regulat\u00f3rias . Em s\u00edntese, as novas tecnologias modificam a forma e a subst\u00e2ncia do controle, da participa\u00e7\u00e3o e da coes\u00e3o social. Por\u00e9m, ao faz\u00ea-lo, s\u00e3o tamb\u00e9m modificadas pela experi\u00eancia social, de sorte que computador e sociedade, ou de outra forma, o t\u00e9cnico e o social, constituem um movimento de co-modifica\u00e7\u00e3o, somente percebido por uma aproxima\u00e7\u00e3o concomitantemente social e t\u00e9cnica, por um olhar sociot\u00e9cnico. Assim, repensar o social \u00e9, ao mesmo tempo, promover uma reflex\u00e3o sobre o pr\u00f3prio modo de produ\u00e7\u00e3o e organiza\u00e7\u00e3o do conhecimento cient\u00edfico e tecnol\u00f3gico, e sobre as m\u00fatuas implica\u00e7\u00f5es entre ci\u00eancia, tecnologia e sociedade.
