商品簡介

Standards are the means by which we construct realities. There are establishedstandards for professional accreditation, the environment, consumer products, animal welfare, theacceptable stress for highway bridges, healthcare, education--for almost everything. We aresurrounded by a vast array of standards, many of which we take for granted but each of which hasbeen and continues to be the subject of intense negotiation. In this book, Lawrence Buschinvestigates standards as "recipes for reality." Standards, he argues, shape not only thephysical world around us but also our social lives and even our selves. Busch shows how standardsare intimately connected to power--that they often serve to empower some and disempower others. Heoutlines the history of formal standards and describes how modern science came to be associated withthe moral-technical project of standardization of both people and things. He examines the use ofstandards to differentiate and how this affects our perceptions; he discusses the creation of aglobal system of audits, certifications, and accreditations; and he considers issues of trust,honesty, and risk. After exploring the troubled coexistence of standards and democracy, Buschsuggests guidelines for developing fair, equitable, and effective standards. Taking a uniquelyintegrated and comprehensive view of the subject, Busch shows how standards for people and thingsare inextricably linked, how standards are always layered (even if often addressed serially), andhow standards are simultaneously technical, social, moral, legal, and ontological devices.
