Abstract:‘Resistance’ as a philosophical concept is paid little heed in philosophy of technology. This thesis focusses on the concept of resistance in critical constructivism and mediation theory. This in order to lay a basis for the discussion surrounding resistance in philosophy of technology. It will then take the concept of resistance as presented in Michel De Certeau’s work and try to apply it to a mediation framework. From all of these points of view a conceptualization of the concept of resistance will be drawn up. The conclusion will unify these different concepts and conceptualise resistance not as opposition, but rather as engagement with technology.
