Recenzje

"Controversy Mapping shows how we can use social research to bring controversies back to the surface of knowledge and public life, and how it can help to recover the power of controversy to transform what's possible. The book provides everything you need - the ideas, examples, and techniques - to start doing controversy analysis."Noortje Marres, University of Warwick"Venturini and Munk have produced a significant book that traces the genealogy of controversy mapping back to its origins in actor-network theory to its incarnations in digital methods. Through a lucid and engaging narrative and series of visualizations, they provide a comprehensive 'field guide' to the major figures, theories, concepts, and methods that make up the practices of controversy mapping."Evelyn Ruppert, Goldsmiths, University of London
