Aspirations in gender research within technology and engineering have developed into a research-transforming activity focusing on societal relevance and engineering faculties. The conditions that are needed and created require epistemological pluralism. The gender research referred to here is also called feminist technoscience. When discussing gender in sectors like technology and engineering, we often tend to count heads, i.e. how many women are present in which functions. By contrast, gender issues are much less seen as generating knowledge and technology in themselves. This chapter will illustrate what kind of added value certain academic activities starting in gender-related issues can have. Epistemological comments on feminist technoscience are presented as fostering and attempting to advance our understanding of knowledge production in technology and engineering. The aim of this chapter is to contribute to the recognition of feminist technoscience and its knowledge-producing values. Discussions of key understandings of feminist technoscience are illustrated by two cases and summed up by some closing remarks.

A. Balsamo
In her essay, “Gendering the Technological Imagination,” Anne Balsamo describes the relationship between gender and the technological imagination by examining some of the myths that persist about women and technological innovation. She draws on insights provided by feminist epistemology to elaborate the nature of agency that unfolds during the process of developing technological applications. To illustrate how the methods of hermeneutic reverse engineering are deployed in practice, and to elaborate a reproductive theory of technology, she describes the development of an interactive multimedia documentary that was created for the NGO Forum held in China in 1995. (The NGO Forum was held in conjunction with the 4th U.N. World Conference on Women.) The multimedia documentary, called Women of the World Talk Back, served as a particular type of boundaryobject that enabled the creation of several cultural constructs, including a set of identities for the designers and the audience members, as well as a set of counter narratives about the implications of the hardware and software that were used to create the work.

在她的文章《性别化技术想象》(gendered the Technological Imagination)中,安妮·巴尔萨莫(Anne Balsamo)通过研究一些关于女性和技术创新的神话,描述了性别与技术想象之间的关系。她利用女权主义认识论提供的见解,阐述了在发展技术应用的过程中展开的代理的本质。为了说明解释学逆向工程的方法如何在实践中应用,并阐述技术的再生理论,她描述了1995年在中国举行的非政府组织论坛上制作的交互式多媒体纪录片的发展。(非政府组织论坛与第四届联合国世界妇女大会同时举行。)这部名为《世界女性的反击》(Women of The World Talk Back)的多媒体纪录片,作为一种特殊类型的边界对象,能够创造出几种文化结构,包括设计师和观众的一系列身份认同,以及用于创作作品的硬件和软件的一系列反叙事。设计过程中的女权主义干预ELS ROMMES讨论了所研究的公司实际上是如何考虑到性别的:通过
