(2017): Social Technologies. Between Science and Practice. In: Russian Studies in Philosophy 55 (1), S. 1-9. DOI: 10.1080/10611967.2017.1296288
Abstract: Social technologies (or more precisely social-humanitarian technologies) are the active communicative manifestation of a social subject at the level of organizational, administrative, and social planning in the context of the social construction of knowledge and reality. A clear definition of social technologies (ST) must first describe them within the context of the social sciences and humanities: ST are the variety of social practices that are generated by these sciences. These include psychotherapeutic assistance, opinion polls, the practice of language translation, counseling, litigation, and the management of production. The second aspect of ST is that they are characterized by a specific kind of human activity and communication (psychosomatic skills and techniques, language, and psychological and emotional processes), rather than artificial tools, instruments, and devices. The center of ST is occupied by the human subject agent with his knowledge and beliefs, skills and habits, language and traditions.

(2017): The Formation of Social Technologies. Stages and Examples. In: Russian Studies in Philosophy 55 (1), S. 10-25. DOI: 10.1080/10611967.2017.1296289
Abstract: The concept of social technology, as used in science and journalism, has yet to reach theoretical maturity. This is related to the general state of the social and human sciences, which have not given rise to sociotechnical sciences, and is also related to a number of sociopolitical circumstances. On the one hand, social technology involves solutions that require an empirical, interdisciplinary synthesis; on the other hand, it represents a series of new theoretical conceptualizations. The article offers a working definition of a number of theoretical positions and typologies, and provides examples of the development and application of social technologies that represent steps toward the construction of a synthetic theory.
