Its defining feature is an antiracist attitude that coexists with support for racist outcomes. Liberal racism rejects discrimination on the basis of race or color and abhors the subjection of groups or individuals on racial grounds. But it upholds and defends systems that produce racializing effects, often in the name of some matter more "urgent" than redressing racial subordination, such as rewarding "merit" or enhancing economic

Literary study lacks the kind of research infrastructure assumed by the natural and even the social sciences. In relation to STEM, literature and criticism have been locked in as "lower faculties," denied their Kantian role as interpreters of the conditions of truth. Literary and cultural study (LCS) does not have the funding to do the purchasing and operating of equipment, data collection, regular travel, archiving, visualization, and dissemination that ground empirical research in science and technology fields. Literary knowledge of economy will analyze and express the economy's internal contradictions and incommensurabilities without reducing them to linear or material causalities. Literary knowledge helps people through all the entanglements, and so to explain to someone the economics of our weak recovery—or the Syrian Civil War—you find yourself, pretty soon, speaking some kind of novel.

Responsible innovation and responsible governance are broad concepts that mean different things to different groups. This paper presents the results of a roundtable with academics and policymakers from Europe and the U.S. held at the 2011 Society for the Study of Nanoscience and Emerging Technologies conference. The results of this roundtable discussion raise heterogeneous perspectives on the definition of responsible innovation and responsible governance and the role of philosophy versus practical intervention. At the same time, commonalities are also evidenced in the emphasis on the need for further progress toward commercializa-tion benefits coupled with concrete practices and public involvement.

Research paper thumbnail of Does Solar Energy Need a New Innovation Model? The Case of Germany

Little by Little: Expansions of Nanoscience and Emerging Technologies, 2012

The global solar energy industry is currently enduring a paradoxical condition of rapid installat... more The global solar energy industry is currently enduring a paradoxical condition of rapid installation growth and cost declines on the one hand, and widespread business instability or bankruptcy on the other. This situation is particularly acute in Germany, where the industry is simultaneously excellent and in financial trouble. This chapter explores this paradox through a series of interviews with participants in the German solar industry conducted in the summer of 2011. The interviews indicate a belief that Germany has a socially embedded innovation culture that supports productive technological innovation in ways not generally available in the United States. The chapter also argues that the current problems of the solar industry question the validity of a standard innovation model that remains culturally rooted in a Schumpeterian understanding of the priority of market-based economic agents, even when that model seems to have been updated to account for social factors. The analysis of the solar PV module industry suggests that what the chapter terms Schumpeter-Christensen innovation as easily undermines as it supports superior technology. The chapter argues that a strategically important emerging technology such as solar PV module manufacturing will thrive only when a permanent role is granted to non-market institutions and practices, and when continuous public capital allocations supplement private investor decisions.
