Dear Colleagues,
<br>
<br>The DFG graduate school ‚Innovation Society Today‘
<br>
<br>from the Institute of Sociology at Technische Universität Berlin
<br>cordially invites you to join its upcoming conference part of its summer
<br>school on *‘/Innovation and Its Others: Neglected aspects of creative
<br>destruction’/*//on June 21 2019.
<br>
<br>Please find attached the final program.
<br>
<br>With the given topic, we want to address phenomena that are often
<br>overlooked in the contemporary discussion of innovations and
<br>innovativeness, for example the destructive side of Schumpeter’s
<br>‘creative destruction’ or the blind spots of what Rogers called the ‘pro
<br>innovation bias’.
<br>
<br>We are happy to announce two exceptional keynote-speakers, both working
<br>at the core of this summer schools subject:
<br>
<br>*Benoît Godin*(Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Montreal)
<br>has a long history in studying innovation and recently edited a book on
<br>Critical Studies of Innovation (together with Dominique Vinck)
<br>(published in 2017). In his keynote /‘From Innovation to X-innovation to
<br>Reflexive Innovation’/ he will take us on the decade long journey of the
<br>term innovation, with special recourse on its changing implications and
<br>societal conditions.
<br>
<br>*Martin W. Bauer*(London School of Economics and Political Science) also
<br>since many years conducts highly relevant research by studying the
<br>societal implications and circumstances of innovations. He particularly
<br>addresses the role of resistance to innovation as an important as well
<br>as productive factor in the development process of technologies deemed
<br>to be innovative. In his Keynote /‘Resistance as Technology Assessment –
<br>Further Observations’/ he will expand upon the concept of resistance,
<br>especially regarding its productive implications on innovation processes.
<br>
<br>The keynotes will be supplemented by presentations from members of the
<br>DFG graduate school ‘Innovation Society Today’, each dealing with
<br>different facets of ‘the Other’ of innovation. For example by focusing
<br>on innovation processes by other means (like repairing), on negative
<br>imaginations connected to artificial intelligence and on societal
<br>problem solving inside and outside the laboratory.
<br>
<br>There is no conference fee, but we got limited space so a *registration
<br>via E-Mail at the graduate schools academic coordinator
<br>**dominika.hadrysiewicz@tu-berlin.de*
<br>is required. The mail should
<br>include your name and, if applicable, organizational affiliation.
<br>
<br>Kind regards,
<br>
<br>Matthias Bottel & Simon Egbert (on behalf of the members of the DFG
<br>graduate school ‘Innovation Society Today’)
