Michel Callon

Michel Callon is a prominent scholar in Science and Technology Studies (STS), known for his work on how science, technology, and society interact. He emphasizes the importance of understanding technology as shaped by various actors, not just scientists or engineers. His concept of "translation" examines how different groups negotiate, adapt, and transform ideas and innovations as they move through society. This highlights the complexity of technological development, illustrating that it involves a network of social, political, and economic factors, rather than a linear process. His work invites us to consider the broader implications of technology on everyday life.
