The article deals with the rise of electronics research, the electronics industry and state policy towards the field. Paradoxically, electronics research was fostered unintentionally by state strategies in other fields. The concept of electronics itself is problematized and it is shown how, on one hand, the established and seemingly not very relevant radio-industry was conceived and, on the other hand, how the new research based electronics emerged and finally was strengthened through state policy. The new professional electronics sector was developed in the 1950s, “disguised” as cybernetics or as defence or nuclear research. Around 1960 it gained political momentum through research institutions and was successfully negotiated into the political arena. The difference between the cultural and political conception of electronics and the physical definition are explored and explain much of the dialectic of the development |
