Description
Summary:This introductory essay outlines at least two distinct approaches to the study of science and technology in the Philippines and details the processby which we devised this special issue. We remain uncomplacent with the idea that science and technology studies (STS), in its Anglo-European conceptions and ongoing theoretical commitments, needs to be a new field in the Philippines. Guided by the Global Asias framework, which posits the possibility of “relational nonalignment,” we, instead, introduce this special issue as but one way science and technology, most especially in the postwar period, may be investigated, critiqued, and reimagined.
