Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is adequate to define the 20th century as “the age of sciencemythos” rather than as the age of science. The purpose of this project is to reveal the diskursstructure of the science-representations especially that of the nuclear energy in all senses widely accepted by social communities. About the relationship between socalled modern life and nuclear technology; with my publication “The Myth of white home appliances”, about the relationship between office automation equipments and the minds of men; with “The birth of Office Ladies”; about the relationship between white every machinery and modern life; with “The Evolution of the things”, every type of diskurs about science and technology was at all points revealed as mythos
