WTMC PhD Autumn Workshop "Smart"
17 - 19 December 2018
Conference centre Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, the Netherlands
In this workshop, we will consider how smart technologies function as a sphere
where issues of human-machine interaction are played out. Is "smart" shifting
from a human attribute to techno-drenched settings, such as smart cities,
thereby signaling new forms of subjectivity where machines also sense, record
and respond? Is smart a euphemism for new technologies of control as well as
out-of-control (big data), or do smart technologies (also) serve as objects of
participation and engagement?
STS has since long engaged both empirically and conceptually with the
relationships between humans/human societies and technologies. That
relationship has variously been articulated as one of integration,
co-production, domestication or control.
In this workshop, we will contrast two categorically different approaches to
smart technologies. First, we will consider how they actively and often quite
literally interfere, with and modify (take over?) the lives we lead and the
bodies we have. Second we will consider how smart technologies are caught up
in systems of accumulation, circulation and control.
In this workshop we ask, as always, conceptual, historical, methodological,
empirical and normative questions about smart technologies posed and pose-able
from STS.
Confirmed speakers: Fenneke Sysling, Martijn de Groot, Darryl Cressman and
Merel Noorman (with reservation).
The registration form for this workshop is now available
