Reminder | Announcement WTMC PhD Autumn Workshop "Smart", 17-19 December 2018, Conference center Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, NL | Please register by 26 October 2018 !
WTMC PhD Autumn Workshop "Smart" <br> <br>17 - 19 December 2018 <br> <br> <br> <br>Conference centre Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, the Netherlands <br> <br> <br> <br>In this workshop, we will consider how smart technologies function as a sphere <br>where issues of human-machine interaction are played out. Is "smart" shifting <br>from a human attribute to techno-drenched settings, such as smart cities, <br>thereby signaling new forms of subjectivity where machines also sense, record <br>and respond? Is smart a euphemism for new technologies of control as well as <br>out-of-control (big data), or do smart technologies (also) serve as objects of <br>participation and engagement? <br> <br>STS has since long engaged both empirically and conceptually with the <br>relationships between humans/human societies and technologies. That <br>relationship has variously been articulated as one of integration, <br>co-production, domestication or control. <br> <br>In this workshop, we will contrast two categorically different approaches to <br>smart technologies. First, we will consider how they actively and often quite <br>literally interfere, with and modify (take over?) the lives we lead and the <br>bodies we have. Second we will consider how smart technologies are caught up <br>in systems of accumulation, circulation and control. <br> <br>In this workshop we ask, as always, conceptual, historical, methodological, <br>empirical and normative questions about smart technologies posed and pose-able <br>from STS. <br> <br> <br> <br>Confirmed speakers: Fenneke Sysling, Martijn de Groot. <br> <br> <br> <br>The registration form for this workshop is now available <br>here. <br> <br>Please register by Friday, 26 October 2018 ! <br> <br> <br> <br>Costs for WTMC members: meals 10 EUR /day. <br> <br>Costs for everyone else: 695 EUR, including fee, accommodation and meals. <br> <br> <br> <br>If you have any content-related questions regarding this workshop, please feel <br>free to contact Anne Beaulieu: j.a.beaulieu@rug.nl <br>or Bernike Pasveer: <br>b.pasveer@maastrichtuniversity.nl <br> <br> <br> <br>For practical questions please contact Elize Schiweck: <br>e.schiweck@utwente.nl <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
