Announcement WTMC Spring Workshop "Post-Colonial", 8-10 May 2019, Conference center Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, NL | Please register by 28 February!
[Logo-WTMC-Beeldmerk-Slogan-121031] <br>WTMC Spring Workshop "Post-Colonial" <br>8 - 10 May 2019 <br>Conference centre Soeterbeeck, Deursen-Dennenburg, the Netherlands <br>At the turn of the millennium, Science and Technology Studies was seen to have <br>made mixed progress in terms of developing a post-colonial scholarship, in <br>spite of over a decade of post-colonial lines of work in many areas of the <br>humanities and social sciences. For example, in 2002, Anderson wrote: <br> <br>During the 1990s, [such] efforts to 'provincialize Europe' have gained pace in <br>many disciplines, but they seem to almost have stalled in science studies, <br>with the engine choking perhaps on a lingering residue of the field's <br>obsession with a universalized European rationality (Anderson 2002, 645). <br> <br>How has the field evolved since? A decade later, Harding remarked that despite <br>longstanding critique of the underdeveloped ability of the modern Western <br>science, namely, their lack of the resources to recognize their own <br>provinciality, "it remains puzzling that the issues raised ... are only now <br>beginning to attract the attention of broader audiences in the West" (Harding <br>2011, 3). In 2018 "STS across <br>borders" was part of <br>the annual meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science, marking yet <br>another milestone in the post-colonial STS discussion. <br> <br>In this workshop we will consider what a post-colonial project for STS could <br>be, how it has developed, and which ambitions have been and could be <br>formulated. Where are we, today, as a field? How has STS been implicated in <br>and contributed to working towards rethinking orderings of global and local, <br>concepts of transnationalities and identities, and other "durable binaries" <br>such as modern/traditional, developed/underdeveloped, Western/Indigenous, <br>metropole/post-colony -- to paraphrase Anderson? <br> <br>We will reflect on the roles of technoscience in the production of 'globality' <br>of the present historical moment. Such globality is made of declining <br>nation-states, hybrid identities, contested new global markers (for example, a <br>new 'global' geological age, the Anthropocene) among other phenomena. <br>'Globalization' also takes on ever new forms in market, organizations, bodies <br>and epistemologies: flexible hierarchies, complex transactions, displacement <br>and fragmentations abide, also in the terrain of STS. <br> <br>Guest lecturers: Amade <br>M'Charek, Nishant <br>Shah (more will follow). <br> <br>The registration form for this workshop is now available <br>here. <br>Please register by 28 February 2019! <br> <br>Costs for WTMC members: meals 10 EUR /day. <br>Costs for everyone else: 695 EUR, including fee, accommodation and meals. <br> <br>If you have any content-related questions regarding this workshop, please feel <br>free to contact the training coordinators Anne Beaulieu: <br>j.a.beaulieu@rug.nl or Bernike Pasveer: <br>b.pasveer@maastrichtuniversity.nl <br> <br>For practical questions please contact Elize Schiweck: <br>e.schiweck@utwente.nl <br> <br>Anderson, W.
