[CfA EASST/4S Prague] [CfA EASST/4S Prague - Open Panel] Performative Futures: Fighting Reification Inertias through Open Anticipations
Dear list members, <br> <br>Apologies for cross-posting. <br> <br>We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper proposal to our Open <br>Panel “Performative Futures: Fighting Reification Inertias through <br>Open Anticipations” to be held in the EASST/4S conference[1] (Prague, <br>August 18th-21st 2020). More information is included below. Please <br>feel free to circulate this call to anyone who might be interested and <br>do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or doubts. <br>Thanks! <br> <br>Best regards, <br>Sergio Urueña, Hannot Rodríguez & Andoni Ibarra <br> <br> <br>*** <br> <br> OPEN PANEL - “PERFORMATIVE FUTURES: FIGHTING REIFICATION INERTIAS <br>THROUGH OPEN ANTICIPATIONS” (EASST/4S) <br> <br> ABSTRACT <br>Science and technology practices are crucially shaped by <br>representations of “the future”. Expectations, socio-technical <br>imaginaries and techno-visions are constitutive elements in the de <br>facto epistemic-political governance of research and innovation. Some <br>scholars (e.g., van Lente, 2006; Jasanoff and Kim, 2015; Konrad and <br>Palavicino, 2017; Lösch, 2017) as well as certain research policy <br>frameworks (e.g., technology assessment, anticipatory governance, RRI) <br>have emphasized this performative character of futures by approaching <br>it as an object of responsibility. This intellectual endeavor has been <br>especially fruitful in relation to the visualization and critique of <br>existing reification inertias. That is to say, the frames, <br>regulations, commitments, feelings and so on, orienting and <br>constraining (i.e., reifying, or closing-down) the processes, outcomes <br>and ends of research and innovation practices. <br> <br>This panel aims to explore the theoretical and practical possibilities <br>of developing interventive anticipatory resources capable of <br>instrumentalizing “the future” in more open, inclusive and reflexive <br>ways. <br> <br>Some POTENTIAL QUESTIONS include: <br> <br> <br> * <br> To what extent are anticipatory narratives and practices within <br>research and innovation policy systems open, inclusive and reflexive? <br> <br> * <br> What constraining/enabling roles do socio-technical expectations, <br>imaginaries and techno-visions of “the future” play in research and <br>innovation practices? <br> <br> * <br> What potentials and limits do anticipatory methods (e.g., <br>scenario-building, science-fiction prototyping, technology <br>roadmapping, etc.) display with regard to reflexivity and de-reifying <br>dynamics? <br> <br> * <br> How is/should the epistemic-political quality of open anticipatory <br>practices be enacted and/or assessed? <br> <br> * <br> What role and relevance does anticipatory governance display in <br>relation to more recent policy frameworks such as RRI and “Open <br>Science”? <br> <br> <br>SUBMISSION <br>The panel is open to all disciplines, approaches and methods. We <br>welcome researchers, practitioners and students. <br> <br>If you are interested in participating in our Open Panel, please <br>submit your proposal for an oral presentation (max. 250 words <br>abstract, including the paper’s main arguments, methods and <br>contribution) by logging into the Programme website <br>(https://admin.allacademic.com/one/ssss/ssss20/) with your 4S <br>credentials, selecting “Papers for Open Panels” and clicking in the <br>Open Panel No. 132. <br> <br>_Deadline_: FEBRUARY 29TH, 2020. <br> <br> <br> <br>Vínculos: <br>--------- <br>[1] https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/ <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
