In line with the previous two Special topics of TATuP this year, this section addresses this challenging question head-on. In this introductory piece, we outline some of the distinct challenges facing TA in the 21st century and discuss options, but also emerging issues regarding heterodox, yet timely approaches to TA. In terms of conceptual approaches, we draw on Andrea Vetter's recent work on 'convivial technology', as well as earlier alternative conceptions of technology. Our ambition is to foster a dialogue within and beyond the TA community about what contemporary societies might need or even expect from TA, including concrete adjustments that some might call for while others might warn against.}, language = {en} }
