CfP: Theorizing in STS @ EASSSST 2020 in Prague
Dear Colleagues, <br> <br>Please join Sebastian Dahm and myself for our open panel at the <br>EASSSST-CONFERENCE 2020 in Prague, August 18-21. Deadline is, as you <br>might know, *February 29*. <br> <br> <br> 193. Theorizing in STS <br> <br>Sebastian Dahm, Technical University Berlin; Tim Seitz, Technical <br>University Berlin <br> <br>The conference call places reflexive engagements within STS at the <br>center of its concern. In our panel, we would like to respond to that <br>invitation with respect to practices of theorizing. In line with its <br>interdisciplinary calling, STS encompasses a multitude of theoretical <br>frameworks that interact with each other in many ways. One of the core <br>preoccupations of STS has always been the analysis of various <br>epistemologies and their consequences. Our panel is going to attempt an <br>exercise in reflexivity by applying this analytical stance to STS <br>themselves. In doing so, we try to engage theories not as static, <br>self-contained entities. Rather, we would like to invite the <br>participants to address practices of theorizing within STS, thereby <br>placing an emphasis on theory-crafting as a fluid and contingent <br>enterprise. Contributions may or may not address some of the following <br>questions: <br> <br>What characterizes STS theory? How do we as STS scholars pursue the work <br>of theorizing/working with theory? How do practices of theorizing <br>reflect a sense of urgency in face of existential threats? How do we <br>relate theories to our fields and vice versa? What alternative <br>approaches of theory-building could be pursued? What place does theory <br>hold in STS? How could/should its role shift? <br> <br>In raising those questions, we try to explore the potentials that STS <br>theorizing holds regarding the instable and shifting worlds that we all <br>currently face. We would like to spark a discussion that tries to <br>connect our scholarly practices to the challenges we are entangled in. <br> <br>We look forward to you proposals <br>Tim and Sebastian <br> <br> <br> <br>-- <br> <br>Tim Seitz <br> <br>Doctoral Student <br> <br>DFG Graduate School "Innovation Society Today" <br> <br>TU Berlin, Department of Sociology <br> <br>English Website <br> <br>| German Website <br> <br> <br> <br>Fraunhoferstr. 33-36 | 10587 Berlin | Germany <br> <br>Phone: +49 (0)30 314 27307 <br> <br> <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
