Legitimation: Uncertainty, Latent Functions and Ignorance

Research output: Contribution to conference without publisher/journalPaper without publisher/journalResearchpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper I discuss the phenomenon of legitimation introducing a number of factors that contribute to legitimation of artifacts and behavior. These include: uncertainty, latent and manifest functions and ignorance. The combination of these factors highlight the major concerns artifacts and/or behaviors have within their own structures suggesting four types of legitimation. Together with their internal and external dimensions, the proposed four types of legitimation contribute to the development of a grand theory of legitimation.
