englischNarratives of technology-related transformations or, in German discourse, of ‘turnarounds’, such as the ‘Energiewende’, are currently experiencing a heyday. In particular, scenarios of a post-fossil fuel transformation frame technology as the key to mastering the path to a climate-neutral society. This book aims to examine these current challenges from a historical perspective. Its contributions historicise the idea of a technology-driven ‘turnaround’. They analyse past socio-technical transitions in the fields of energy, transport, the circular economy and digitalisation, as well as in crisis-induced upheavals. They discuss to what extent these changes can serve as ‘usable pasts’ to expand or correct our current thinking about and hopes for technological change.
