This chapter presents an overview of the relationship between science, technology and ideology during the Second World War, drawing comparisons between the democratic and totalitarian states. Addressed here is the disjuncture between the global and progressive nature of science and technology and the ways in which these could also be employed to support a rampant nationalism. Within the South African context, brief mention is made of the context of the history of scientific development from the nineteenth century and its growing relationship to a sense of incipient yet exclusionary nationhood—that would be enforced by the War.

摘要

This chapter presents an overview of the relationship between science, technology and ideology during the Second World War, drawing comparisons between the democratic and totalitarian states. Addressed here is the disjuncture between the global and progressive nature of science and technology and the ways in which these could also be employed to support a rampant nationalism. Within the South African context, brief mention is made of the context of the history of scientific development from the nineteenth century and its growing relationship to a sense of incipient yet exclusionary nationhood—that would be enforced by the War.
