Thema 1, Research journals and papers

I have read the article "Border communication: media sociology and STS" by Judy Wajcman and Poul K.Jones. The article describes relations between media Sociology and Science and Technology Studies (STS). They mix and complement each other in the way that the STS is responsible for the development of the material part of the objects, and media technologies are implementing these changes in practice.

The article considers the possibilities of expanding online media and that the community of media will be more anonymous and wide compare to the newspapers. The purpose of research is to find common ground and mutual benefits of these areas. Here we consider the role of the major media such as television, radio and new technologies in the Internet and mobile phones. The concept of innovation and communication technologies should include an understanding of social changes. Combination of sociology and technological researches in the information technology is the main idea of ​​STS. This is the ratio between the means of communication media and cultural theory on the one hand, and science and technology studies STS on the other.  There are especially composed design communication technology that can result in the media and politics. The role of communication technologies with all social consequences will move to the Internet.

 The article covers the structure of macro-social theoretical reflection, means of aesthetic expression and complex sophisticated technological determinism, symbolic content, medium theory, indirect relations and epochalism. The concept of STS also research partly feminism, new technologies and social technical broadcasting configuration. The new social relation forms are a clear alternative for use of materials. There is Colhoin's placement for communications and infrastructure of modernity as this is the optimal structure of the debate about the boundaries of communication. Colhoin substantiates the terms of viability of social-theoretical framework in which the STS media and sociology have a dialog. The structure itself has the advantage of re-invigoration with means of socio-technical understanding of both trends.

STS aspects such as social formation, social construction of technology to theorize the social technical nature of new media technologies such as increasing of mobility and expanding of audience. This is the output from the technical innovations’ sphere with the narrow circle of specialist and users acceptance as members of the process. Technical objects include and organize human’s relations and the relationships between people and things. STS-concept’s design cooperates with users as active participants in the development of technologies and shows how the material world is in contact with the society.
