Invitation: Critical Automobility Studies Lab
Critical Automobility Studies Lab <br>Should you be in Vienna, you are invited! <br> <br>Dec 13, 2019, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, IHS, Josefstdter Strae 39, 1080 Vienna, <br>Salon <br> <br>Institute for Advanced Studies research group Techno-Science and Societal <br>Transformation is happy to announce the start of its Critical Automobility Studies <br>Lab. The lab kicks off with a launching event that offers presentations and <br>discussions as well as networking opportunities for everyone interested in <br>Critical Automobility Studies. <br> <br>Automobility is a hegemonic and enduring sociotechnical setup worth critical <br>attention. To concentrate on a critical approach to automobility is all the <br>more important as new societal challenges related to automobility emerged in <br>the last few years from sustainability of electric vehicles to ethical <br>questions related to the transition to autonomous devices or spatial justice <br>in modern urban environs just to name a few. Automobility, in our view, is a <br>complex construct of technologies, apparatuses, ideologies; an imaginary of <br>and in the present. It is composed of both the material and the <br>representational: of discourses, visions and images, of automobiles and the <br>physical infrastructure of automobility. Our interest is in aspects of social <br>justice and violence, gendered representations and cyborg autoselves, the <br>interplay of cared and non-cared bodies, connections and contacts, <br>spatialities and power plays as well as social pasts, presents and futures of <br>automobilities. A special focus is given to post-automobility, a new versatile <br>urban ecosystem that may disrupt the current technosocial operation, as well <br>as social challenges presented driver-car hybridity or driverless futures <br>imagined by many. <br> <br>Keynotes: <br> <br> * Robert Braun (Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna) -- "Automobility <br>nomos and biopolitics" <br> * Richard Randell (Webster University, Geneve) -- "The imaginary of <br>Automobility" <br> * Carlos Lopez-Galviz (Lancaster University) -- "The Past Futures of <br>Cities and Mobility: A View from History" <br> <br>We would like you to be part of our community. Please join us for this first <br>event of presentations and discussion and register via <br>event(at)ihs.ac.at. <br> <br>The event will be followed by light lunch and drinks. <br>-- <br>Assoc.

Novel findings <br>about the ubiquitousness of microbes within bodies and environments, has <br>illuminated new multi-species relationalities. While antibiotics are <br>simultaneously increasingly becoming redundant due to drug resistance, modern <br>medicine is at the risk of being turned back by a century. In this era, we <br>argue, it is vital to gain a more granular view of the various practices of <br>relation-making between humans, animals and microbes. While these changes have <br>often been conceptualized as turns in human-microbe relations (Paxson, 2008; <br>Lorimer, 2017), this panel invites papers that think about how various new and <br>old notions about microbes overlap rather than superseed each other, producing <br>spaces for microbial sociality to manifest in novel ways. Topics could <br>include, but are not limited to, examples of the following: - Studies of novel <br>biotechnologies of pre- and probiotic tools - Biographies of antibiotics, <br>bacteriophages and diagnostics, the pharmaceutical industry and other R&D <br>endeavours - How are novel subjectivities and national programmes constructed <br>through microbiome research and as targets of AMR related activities, policies <br>and research? - How are resistomes and microbiotas explored and compared? - <br>The flows of resistance embedded in more-than-human social forms involving <br>humans, animals, and the environment - How do people live with microbes in <br>fermentation? - How is immunity and well-being thought about in the absence of <br>antibiotics? - How boundaries of human and nonhuman bodies are un/made by the <br>bacteria that flow between environments and bodies? <br> <br>Please send your abstract (max 250 words) using the EASA submission system by <br>20 January 2020. To do this, find our session in the list of <br>panels and click on <br>'Propose paper'.
