Choreographies: Rhythms and Movements in Research - 4S/EASST Prague 2020
4S/EASST Prague 2020 <br>24. Choreographies: Rhythms and Movements in Research <br>Andrea Schikowitz, TU Munich; Niki Vermeulen, University of Edinburgh; Filip <br>Vostal, Czech Academy of Sciences <br>Discussant: Charis Thompson, University of California, Berkeley <br>This session aims to explore intersections between temporal and spatial <br>dimensions of research through the mobilization of the concept of <br>'choreography'. With an origin in the Greek language, combining 'dance' with <br>'writing', the artistic metaphor evokes movements and their routinized <br>sequences (cf. Pickering 1995 and his notion of 'dance of agency' and his <br>overall theory of 'mangle of practice'). Emanating Thompson's (1998, 2005) <br>concept of 'ontological choreography' - capturing the dynamic coordination of <br>scientific, technical, legal, political, financial, relational and emotional <br>aspects in clinics for Assisted Reproductive Technology - STS researchers have <br>studied coordination and (de)alignment of research configurations, while <br>leaving room for non-linear narratives, multiplicities and tensions. Analyses <br>cover choreographies of disciplinary and trans-disciplinary fields, <br>participation and identity formation (see work of Felt 2016; Moreira 2018; <br>Schikowitz 2017, 2020; Vermeulen 2018). In turn, Coeckelbergh (2019) recently <br>used choreography to show how science and (digital) technology can shape and <br>organize human thinking, movements and lives. Consequently, this panel invites <br>papers that further explore rhythms and movements in research, including its <br>embodiment and imprint. We would like to bring together scholars working on <br>the role of time and/or space in research to discuss spatio-temporal patterns, <br>e.g. pacing, duration, circulation,(de)synchronisation, (de)centering, ebbing <br>and flowing, acceleration and deceleration, openness and closedness, and the <br>like. <br> <br>Coeckelberg, M (2019).
