Between Fashion and Storylines of Science, Technology and Innovation. Cross-Breeding STS and IS a Process Under Construction
Situating solidarities in the fields of Science and Techno logy Studies and Innovation Studies is a stimulating process not free from shortcomings. In spired by my participation in the cross-breeding science and technology studies and innova tion studies track of the EASST 2014 conference I reflect on the challenges and opportunities that such a process implies. Th rough the vibrant presentations we embarked on a journey that took us from the theoretical ba ses of both fields to their appli cation on specific case studies. This paper comments on some of the papers presented as an empirical testimony of the fea sibility of having a mongrel dis cipline.
Roads Less Travelled. Exploring New Connections Between Media Research and STS
The workshop brought together STS and Media Studies scholars in order to discuss less develo ped similarities and differences between the two fields. Despi te looking for connections, the workshop revealed some fun damental differences and some common biases in the mutual appreciation. This diversity also expressed the internal pluralism within the fields, which poin ted to fruitful connections to be specifically tailored to theories, methods, and cases. These hete rogeneous perspectives sparked a mutual interest in new ways of combining of STS and Media Studies.
