Notes

  1. As an aside, Feenberg argues for the value of these more traditional sociological categories.

  2. Gabrielle Hecht’s second edition (2009) of Radiating France: Nuclear power and national identity after World War II includes a foreword by Callon and an afterword by Hecht in which she updates the material since its first publication in 1998. One could speculate that, in this case, Callon’s role is to provide legitimacy to a book about France written by a non-French author. However, if that is the case, then it might have been more valuable for the first edition, when Hecht was still relatively unknown. Given that the first edition won two major book awards, it hardly needs further endorsement (not that it is not nice to have, of course).

  3. An interesting comparative discussion is found in Thorsten Botz-Bornstein (2011). Botz-Bornstein presents the aesthetic values of “cool-kawaii” as resistance to the oppressive, homogenizing effects of technocratic culture, forming a kind of “new modernism” that transcends both traditionalism and anti-traditional modernity.

  4. See, for example: http://www.myu.ac.jp/~xkozima/carebots/index-eng.html.
