How can those in the history of science, history of technology, and economics communicate more with each other than they are accustomed? How can they become more globally oriented? While these three disciplines today have more convergent interests than in the past, there is still a large potential for further exchange and involvement to explore and exploit. The contributors to this Focus section discuss a number of concepts that may serve as tools to bring these three disciplines more closely together and ease their evolution in a less Eurocentric direction. These concepts include trading zones, interaction and formalization, production, and machines and self-organization.
科学史、技术史和经济学领域的研究者们如何能够比以往更多地相互交流?他们如何能更具全球视野?尽管如今这三门学科的共同兴趣点比过去更多,但仍有很大的进一步交流与参与的潜力有待挖掘和利用。本专题文章的撰稿人讨论了一些概念,这些概念可以作为工具,使这三门学科走得更近,并推动它们朝着减少以欧洲为中心的方向发展。这些概念包括贸易区、互动与形式化、生产以及机器与自组织。
