Erratum: CfP Data worldings and post/colonial connectedness, 4S Sydney 2018
Dear all, <br> <br>Please note that the call for papers for our open panel " Data worldings <br>and post/colonial connectedness" (#87), at 4S Sydney, 29 August - 1 <br>September 2018, closes on <br> <br>1 February, 2018 <br> <br>To submit abstracts please follow this link: <br>https://4s2018sydney.org/accepted-open-panels-4s/ <br> <br>With best wishes, <br> <br>Tahani Nadim (Humboldt University & Natural History Museum Berlin) <br>tahani.nadim@hu-berlin.de <br>Antonia Walford (University College London & Centre for Social Data <br>Science, University of Copenhagen) antonia.walford@ucl.ac.uk <br> <br>--- <br> <br>Short abstract <br>*Data worldings and post/colonial connectedness* <br> <br>Data infrastructures have taken centre stage in many of the strands <br>which comprise the environmental, bio- and geosciences: from <br>biodiversity assessments and conservation efforts to environmental <br>monitoring and the development of “urban biomes”. Data infrastructures <br>are producing unprecedented amounts of data and figures, advancing a <br>primarily data-based understanding of worlds and compelling the coming <br>together of different rationalities, imaginaries, economies and agencies <br>in the pursuit of ever more integration across and connection between data. <br> <br>Having worked in the context of the biological and ecological sciences, <br>their infrastructures and institutions, we observe that these <br>rationalities, imaginaries, economies and agencies are deeply enmeshed <br>with historical yet enduring imperial relations. Indeed, we would <br>suggest that current desires to apprehend a totalised world at all <br>scales—including bio- and atmo-spheres, cosmos, inner spaces and outer <br>surfaces of bodies—exclusively through data need to be understood as <br>constituted in and through colonial relations and their shifting <br>material realities. STS-inflected scholarship on data and data <br>infrastructures has provided useful insights into making, sharing and <br>mobilisation of data as efforts to govern the furthermost reaches of the <br>“natural empire” (Bowker 2000) and into their participation in <br>racialising asymmetries. With this panel we wish to further problematize <br>emergent data worldings drawing on postcolonial critiques of the <br>“universal” and “global” to examine how data worldings are contingent on <br>and enact specific colonial relations. We also want to explore how <br>attending to data worldings can help us understand the ongoing unfolding <br>and transformation of neo-colonial logics and practices. <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
