<br>Recent evocations of a 'collaborative turn' (Faras 2016) describe a growing
<br>community of STS researchers who choose 'impure entanglement' over
<br>'enlightened distance' (Puig de la Bellacasa 2017), and experiment with
<br>different forms of 'figuring together' (Suchman 2012) producing mutual
<br>learning and caring relations. Is this a repetition of old issues concerning
<br>nomothetic x idiosyncratic, objective x subjective, descriptive x emancipatory
<br>methods and agenda in social sciences? What can present engagements of STS
<br>with design, arts, etc., bring to STS and vice versa? Do we need to consider
<br>issues of reciprocity? And is this a typical inter/cross/trans/multi
<br>disciplinarity debate? No! STS took a long time to emancipate itself from
<br>philosophy of science, history of science, and even sociology to become this
<br>hybrid mess.
<br>
<br>
<br>This workshop takes current developments as occasion to discuss potential ways
<br>of re-configuring and re-inventing the roles and responsibilities of STS
<br>researchers, reflecting on the practices, the reasons and methods why people
<br>choose a particular role (e.g. the consultant) or play with a specific figure
<br>(such as the idiot or the partisan).
<br>
<br>This workshop consists of two parts. At the beginning of the conference,
<br>participants meet to share their experience and knowledge of the topic.
<br>Afterwards, workshop participants will use the conference as an empirical site
<br>to explore and collect prominent, persistent, hidden, forbidden, and desired
<br>forms of being an STS researcher and initiate a collective 'pop-up inventory'
<br>at the conference venue.
<br>
<br>We plan for a workshop consisting of ca. 7-12 participants. Thank you.
