摘要
本文立足于全球视角,对电信通信网络的发展历程进行了梳理,并对三种颇具影响力的传统学术研究视角给予了重点关注。在构成本文的两部分内容当中,第一部分对"电信"的概念进行了界定,并对两百年间视觉电报^(1)(optical telegraph)、(电传)电报(electric telegraph)、固定电话(landline telephone)和移动电话(mobile telephone),前身为无线电报(wireless telegraph)这四种电信通信网络的发展历程进行了重点梳理。第二部分则从史学研究的角度出发,阐述并分析了大型技术系统(large technical systems,LTS)理论、政治经济学以及技术的社会建构论(social construction of technology,SCOT)这三种传统视角对电信网络发展史研究所产生的形塑作用。
This chapter surveys the history of telecommunications from a global perspective and highlights three influential interpretative traditions.It has two parts.The first part defines＂telecommunications＂and sketches the main dimensions of four telecommunications networks over a two-hundred-year period-the optical telegraph,the electric telegraph,the landline telephone,and the mobile telephone（and its predecessor,the wireless telegraph）.The second part shows how historical scholarship on topics in the history of telecommunications has been shaped by three intellectual traditions：the Large Technical Systems（LTS）approach;political economy;and the Social Construction of Technology（SCOT）.
