Description

Controversy Mapping: A Field Guide explores how to navigate public debates when facts are uncertain and expertise is contested. Drawing on actor-network theory and digital methods, Tommaso Venturini and Anders Kristian Munk outline the conceptual underpinnings of controversy mapping and its methodological potential. The book examines the history of controversy mapping in science and technology studies, discusses its political implications, and provides practical tools for charting actors and issues using digital fieldwork and computational techniques. A range of cases and examples illustrate how to apply these methods in real-world contexts. This guide is a valuable resource for students, scholars, activists, journalists, citizens, and decision-makers seeking to understand and engage with the complexities of public debate in the digital age.
