Qu'est-ce que les techniques font à la globalisation? Qu'est-ce que la globalisation fait aux techniques? Cet ouvrage propose des réponses à ces questions dans une vingtaine d'études originales qui portent sur le Brésil, le Cameroun, la Chine, les États-Unis, la France, le Japon et l'Union soviétique. Il s'intéresse au long Xe siècle où l'ordre colonial, les antagonismes politiques et la division du monde en deux blocs ont joué un rôle capital dans les interconnexions et les interdépendances régionales. Dans leurs analyses des circulations des techniques, les auteurs de cet ouvrage s'emploient à suivre au plus près les déplacements pour en montrer la complexité et le travail permanent de requalification qui s'opère, tant les techniques et leurs porteurs se transforment au fil des disséminations et de leurs arborescences. De fait, la globalisation ne signifie pas une homogénéisation des mondes sociotechniques. Les circulations techniques changent les territoires de l'économie et les rapports entre les pays, les inégalités et les clivages entre les pays riches et les pays pauvres. Page 4 of the cover (What do techniques do to globalization? What is globalization doing to technology? This book proposes answers to these questions in some twenty original studies on Brazil, Cameroon, China, the United States, France, Japan, and the Soviet Union. It focuses on the long twentieth century in which the colonial order, political antagonisms, and the division of the world into two blocs played a crucial role in regional interconnections and interdependencies. In their analyses of the circulation of techniques, the authors of this book endeavor to follow the displacements as closely as possible in order to show their complexity and the permanent work of requalification that takes place, so much so that techniques and their bearers are transformed in the course of their dissemination and their arborescence. In fact, globalization does not mean a homogenization of the socio-technical worlds. The technical circulations change the territories of the economy and the relations between the countries, the inequalities and the cleavages between the rich countries and the poor countries.)
