EASST 2018 Conference - CfP: “STS meet ICT: politics and the collaborative turn in STS”
***apologies for cross-posting*** <br> <br>Dear all, <br> <br>We invite you to submit <br> <br>a paper proposal <br> <br>to our open panel – *STS meet ICT: politics and the collaborative turn in <br>STS* – at the EASST 2018 <br> <br>Conference , 25-28th July, 2018, <br>Lancaster, UK. <br> <br>Convenors: <br>Mariacristina Sciannamblo <br> ( <br>Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute <br>) - cristina.sciannamblo@m-iti.org <br> <br>Maurizio Teli <br> ( <br>Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute <br>) - <br>maurizio.teli@m-iti.org <br>Chris Csikszentmihalyi <br> ( <br>Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute <br>) - csik@m-iti.org <br> <br>Peter Lyle <br> ( <br>Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute <br>) - peter.lyle@m-iti.org <br> <br> <br> <br>*(C23) STS meet ICT: politics and the collaborative turn in STS* <br> <br>*Short abstract* <br>This panel wants to focus on the collaborative and committed orientation of <br>STS by exploring its interplay with the broad field of Information and <br>Communication Technology (ICT). This relationship entails different forms <br>of meeting: disciplinary, epistemological, institutional, and local <br>alliances. <br> <br> <br>*Long abstract* <br>The increasing prominence of critical approaches - e.g. feminist and <br>postcolonial STS - and the intersections with surrounding fields - e.g. <br>participatory design, information science, and critical technical practice <br>- have stressed the politically engaged character of STS, emphasizing its <br>"activist interest" (Sismondo, 2008). Such growing interest in <br>collaborative modes of practicing STS has suggested the emergence of a <br>"collaborative turn" in STS (Farías, 2017). <br>This panel wants to focus on such collaborative orientation of STS by <br>exploring its interplay with the field of Information and Communication <br>Technology (ICT). This relationship entails diverse forms of meeting such <br>as the disciplinary intersection of STS with design studies and information <br>science; the epistemological meeting between STS and critical perspectives; <br>the making of new alliances between researchers, activists and local <br>population; the convergence of institutional interests and research <br>practices to promote alternative sociotechnical infrastructures. <br>This panel seeks interdisciplinary contributions that explore the politics <br>*in* and *of* the relationship between STS and ICT, from experiences of <br>local and community activism to large-scale examples of alternative <br>sociotechnical infrastructures. Topics relevant for this panel may include: <br> <br>- ICT, labor, and precariousness <br>- Hacktivism, community networks, and alternative Internet <br>- Post-colonial and anti-colonial computing <br>- Feminist interventions in ICT <br>- Commons, peer production, and platform cooperativism <br>- Interplay between publics, researchers, and institutions <br> <br>This panel aims at fostering interdisciplinary encounters, in the light of <br>potential shared publication opportunities, likes journal special issues or <br>edited books, in order to foster the politically engaged STS agenda in the <br>relationship with ICT. <br> <br> <br>> <br>Paper proposals should be submitted through the <br> <br>panel website <br>: https://nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6275 <br> <br> <br>> <br>Submissions <br> <br>should include : <br> <br>a paper title, <br> <br>name/s and email address/es of author/s, a short abstract of fewer than 300 <br> <br>characters, a long abstract of fewer than 250 words <br> <br>> <br>Deadline for submission: <br> <br>*February 14, 2018* (23:59 CEU) <br> <br> <br>*Please feel free to circulate this announcement widely.* <br> <br>Best wishes, <br> <br>Mariacristina, Maurizio, Chris, Peter <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
