Sintesi	The sociology of expectations studies how promises, visions, hype, and expectations about the future actively shape the development of science and technology. Set out by Nik Brown, Mads Borup, Harro van Lente, and Kornelia Konrad, it treats expectations not as mere predictions to be judged true or false but as performative resources that mobilise funding, coordinate actors, and guide work—analysing how futures are constructed in the present and with what real effects.	Issue mapping is an issue-centred digital research method that charts the actors, objects, and concerns gathered around a public issue—ageing, climate, vaccines, migration—using web and social-media data. Descended from controversy mapping but reoriented around the issue rather than a controversy or a pre-given social domain, it draws on Noortje Marres's pragmatist account of issue formation and the Amsterdam Digital Methods Initiative's repertoire to let the issue itself demarcate who and what counts.
