Tact and technology
Theory and History of Psychology
In this project I study the role of tact in practices that aim at controlling, manipulating, changing or influencing behaviour or society. Tact is defined as the ways of preventing or dealing with resistance against control. I use a mixture of historical and qualitative methods.
