Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C is crucial prevent the worst effects of climate change. This entails also decarbonization aviation sector, which considered be a "hard-to-abate" sector and thus requires special attention regarding its sustainability transition. However, transition pathways potentially climate-neutral are unclear, with different stakeholders having diverse imaginations sector's future. paper aims analyze socio-technical imaginaries aviation, as perceptions various on this issue have not been sufficiently explored so far. In that sense, work contributes current scientific debate energy transitions, for first time studying case sector. Drawing six reports composed by interest groups (e.g. industry, academia, environmental associations), three were explored, following process thematic analysis: rethinking travel behavioral change (travel innovation), radical modernization technological progress (fleet alternative fuels renewable sources (fuel innovation). The results reveal how partly conflicting co-produced emergence enforceability these influenced situatedness their creators, indicating raises political issues. Essentially, act driver change, policymakers should acknowledge existence counter-hegemonic visions, created actors from civil society settings take an inclusive equitable approach implementing towards aviation.

Vibes are having a moment and academics seem increasingly serious about understanding whatever the vibe is. Many qualitative methodological approaches already very vibey. This is especially true of those that engage with affects atmospheres, social sociotechnical imaginaries, materialisms more-than-human.

Sociotechnical imaginaries and public communication: Analytical framework and empirical illustration using the case of artificial intelligence

Convergence The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

The concept of sociotechnical imaginaries (SIs) has been widely used and proven fruitful to understand diverging trajectories technologies. While scholars have acknowledged the multi-layered materialisation SIs highlighted importance communicative layer therein, this aspect remained under-conceptualised. Therefore, we propose an analytical framework better Sociotechnical Imaginaries in Public Communication (SIPCs), defined as publicly constructed visions (un)desirable futures that guide action, mobilise resources lay out for or prevention those futures. In article, first discuss relevant strands research on public communication. We then SIPCs enables rigorous reconstruction comparison mediated Finally, illustrate with examples from communication about artificial intelligence, emerging key technology contemporary societies.
