Conference Call | 5th STS-CH Meeting, University of Lausanne, 7-9 September 2020
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>a gentle reminder: <br> <br>Please find attached to this email the conference call for the next <br>Swiss STS meeting. The conference will take place at the University of <br>Lausanne, from 𝟳 𝘁𝗼 𝟵 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬. <br> <br>Do not hesitate to circulate the call among your networks. <br> <br>We look forward to welcoming you in Lausanne. <br>The Organizing Committee <br> <br> <br> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗧𝗦-𝗖𝗛 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 <br>University of Lausanne, 7-9 September 2020 <br> <br> <br>𝗠𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 From neglected things to arts of noticing fragility <br> <br> <br>𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲 <br>Over the past decades, in the face of natural hazards, economic <br>collapses, democratic deficits and other forms of daunting setbacks, a <br>prosperous body of literature has emerged to address the precariousness, <br>complexity and plurality of things, beings and their coexistence. Within <br>this literature emerging from Science and Technology studies, as well as <br>from bordering disciplines, various debates have suggested the fragility <br>of not only the Earth and its ecosystems, but also of large technical <br>systems, forms of life, human bodies and scientific knowledge. Different <br>scholars and researchers have argued that such cataclysms offer us <br>potential pathways to rethink the emergence and composition of <br>heterogeneous worlds, the relations between various ecologies of <br>possibility, so as to reconnect with non-human forms, values, actors and <br>species. Many of them argue for re-imagining the politics of inquiry to <br>develop arts of noticing the “thickness” or “togetherness” of the actual <br>and multiple worlds we inhabit. <br> <br>Building on these debates, this international conference invites <br>contributions that engage empirically, but also methodologically or <br>theoretically, with fragile futures. The aim is to reassess the recent <br>contributions of STS and beyond to the study of emerging worlds by <br>gathering scholars from both inside and outside this field of research. <br>Through different formats (workshops, thematic panels, exhibitions, art <br>performances, round tables etc.), our objective is to address how such <br>approaches can have significant impact on the understanding of <br>contemporary issues such as climate change, artificial intelligence, <br>knowledge politics, maintenance and repair, heritage and futurism, open <br>innovation, migration and border studies and care practices by capturing <br>how they participate in reinventing worlds in the making. We welcome all <br>proposals that allow for fruitful exchanges, experimental collaborations <br>and speculative modes of engagement between academics from various <br>disciplines, but also with and among activists, artists, and anyone <br>concerned. <br> <br>Like former editions before the Swiss STS Meeting 2020 is intended to <br>encourage and promote the social, historical and philosophical study of <br>sciences in Switzerland and from abroad. This event lasts for three days <br>and aims at bringing together STS scholars of all career levels. <br> <br> <br> <br>||| <br>||| <br> <br>Julio Paulos <br> <br>Stadtlabor for Multimodal Anthropology <br>Institut für Europäische Ethnologie <br>Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin <br> <br>[demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of Call 5th STS-CH Conference 20200306.pdf] <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
