   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; hackers; constructivism; innovation; free software; critical theory; immanent critique; technology; lay expertise; open hardware;

   Sammanfattning : Starting from the experiences of hackers developing free software and open hardware, this thesis addresses some key and recurrent themes in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). It poses the question: how are technologies conceptualised, constructed and used in ways that render some aspects of them transparent, while leaving others opaque? This question is complicated by the fact that what is visible and transparent to some will remain opaque to others, depending on the level of technical expertise commanded. LÄS MER
