Résumé
This chapter discusses how STS approaches can be applied to Web history, to shed further light on it and enrich it. In its first part, the chapter introduces key STS concepts and notions, and links them to case studies and examples drawn from the history of the Web. The second part of the chapter will delve into the governance of the Web as a particularly interesting case study of how STS notions and concepts can be leveraged to advance the analysis of objects and dynamics central to the Web and its history. The chapter shows how a relational, practice-oriented approach, unpacking black boxes, doing a sociology of assemblages, can be implemented to shed light on the Web as a complex and changing socio-technical system.
