Transformative Technologien

The anthology is interested in the relationship between technology and law. Transformative technologies not only displace competing technologies from the market, i.e., they do not only have a disruptive effect in an economic sense, but are also able to influence normative concepts. Thus, technical innovations such as digitization not only confront the law with new regulatory tasks, but also change it at the same time. Law is actively shaping the process of the digital transformation of society, but at the same time is becoming its passive object. The contributions to this anthology illuminate this dual character of digitization as a transformative technology from the perspectives of law, philosophy, and cultural and media studies.
