One of the most flourishing and productive areas in the international panorama of current social and humanistic research is Science, Technology and Society (CTS). In their just four decades of history, these studies have experienced a truly spectacular growth rate, both in the number of researchers and academic developments and in the volume of approaches and problems addressed. It is, above all, an eminently multidisciplinary field in which researchers and theoretical and methodological perspectives from a very diverse academic background participate. Although philosophers, sociologists, and historians of both science and technology make up a majority among them, economists, political scientists, or anthropologists are also found. While the interaction and collaboration between different disciplines have in some cases established new analytical frameworks of an interdisciplinary nature, in others the traditional theoretical approaches remain. What, in any case, brings together researchers in CTS is the conviction that science, technology and society are highly interconnected systems. Science and technology are phenomena that take place in society and not in a terrain basically isolated or independent of it; Their analysis should therefore place particular emphasis on interactions with the various elements and aspects of the social, economic, political or cultural terrain
