9 Assessment summary Description Deadline Word limit 50% Essay (TBC) 50% Three-hour exam words coursework Essay: Discuss a technological object or system, drawing on ways of thinking about technology encountered in the course Suggested approach: 1) Build up a Project Dossier. Having chosen a technological object or system, build up a dossier that reveals how this object works (perhaps as part of a wider technological system) within society and culture. The dossier will be a record of your exploration of the social and cultural life of the object you have chosen. A good dossier might have the following components, or respond to the following questions: Anthropological notes. Record observations of how people interact with the object you have chosen. How is it used? Is it changed in use? How does the object affect people? What sorts of people interact with it? What do people say about it? What meanings does the object hold? If it s helpful and applicable, work through the 50 Questions from Hennigar Shuh (1982) What can be found out about the history of the object? Where was it developed, produced, sold? Who made it? Under what conditions? At what scales is the object significant? Is it part of a system? Build up a visual record: drawings, photographs. Make notes on what these visual clues reveal. 2) Reflect on which ways of thinking about technology might help in interpreting your technology in context 3) Draft and write your essay. Feel free to use your visual record where pictures help your argument. The essay will integrate your dossier findings with methodological perspectives and empirical comparisons drawn from the course readings. 9
