CFP - EASST 2018 CfP: Topologies of Race: bringing a touchy object in STS
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>We welcome paper contributions to our open panel: "Topologies of Race: <br>bringing a touchy object in STS" <br>(See: https://nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6264), <br>at the EASST conference to be held in Lancaster from 25-28 July 2018. <br> <br>With the best wishes for the new year, <br>Amade. <br> <br> <br>Panel: Topologies of Race: bringing a touchy object in STS <br>Organisers: Amade Mcharek & Lisette Jong <br> <br>Can STS be touched by race? Is it capable of taking an unruly yet utterly <br>political object onboard? And to what effect? <br> <br>Although race has been tabooed in science ever since WWII, it never completely <br>disappeared (Lipphardt 2012; Bengham 2015). In the past decades, as an effect <br>of the growing role of the life sciences and its interest in difference, race <br>is more clearly resurfacing, roaring its head in both science and society. <br>Yet, and perhaps because of its political touchiness, race is an illusive and <br>slippery object. An absent presence (Law & Singleton 2004). <br>In this panel our aim is to bring into conversation various practices in which <br>race is shaped and made relevant. We hope to learn from the individual papers <br>about what race is made to be in different practices. While in the <br>conversations between them we also aim to explore how race is affecting STS. <br>The topological approach helps to not only attend to race as a spatial and <br>temporal configuration, but necessarily shifts our gaze to STS itself to <br>inquire the methods and concepts through which we come to know race. Can STS <br>deal with temporality? Is it capable of dealing with ghostly objects, such as <br>race? Is it well equipped to calmly study an over-politicized, a touchy <br>object? Can STS and race properly meet? <br> <br> <br> <br>Prof. Dr. Amade Aouatef Mcharek|Anthropology of Science|PI RaceFaceID project <br>(ERC Consolidator grant)|Department of Anthropology|University of <br>Amsterdam|Nieuwe Achtergracht 166 |room C5.17|1018WV Amsterdam|the <br>Netherlands <br> <br>http://www.uva.nl/profile/a.a.mcharek |https://uva.academia.edu/AmadeMcharek <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
