- Abstract
Considerations on the design of a bus stop are used in this work as an example and a preliminary element to think about the concept of social technology (ST). Such expression is discussed and practiced in Latin-American countries, such as Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Uruguay. This paper adds discussions on which identities, discourses, values and images can be associated to ST. The article also approaches how ST and different attributes to the word technology helped to promote a set of ideas that claim for a constructivist view of Science & Technology, different and encompassed with constant demands and transformations of local contexts, advocating for a better quality of life among human beings. Science, Technology and Society are mentioned in this text as a social movement that has brought up the questioning about what distinguishes an instrumental, deterministic, substantivist and constructivist view in terms of the sociology of technology.
