When we think about artifacts, we usually consider objects such as, for example, a nutcracker, a screwdriver, a bicycle, a table, a fountain pen, a toothbrush, a food mixer; that is, material objects designed and constructed to perform a ‘technical functiom’. However, there are also artifacts with which we normatively regulate behaviors. Imagine, for example, driving a car along an urban road. We would constantly encounter road signs, traffic lights, roundabouts. We propose to call this specific type of artifacts with normative intent ‘deontic artifacts’. This article aims to investigate this normative phenomenon that is so widespread in our daily reality, but so often forgotten by scholars of norms and normativity.

Keywords: Normativity - regulation - artifacts - discrimination - nudge - deontology
