TATuP, Call for Abstracts
(English version below) <br> <br> <br> <br>Call for Abstracts: Next Generation Sequencing: Herausforderungen fr <br>Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft <br> <br>TATuP-Thema in Heft 2/2021. Abgabetermin fr Ihr Abstract: 09. Oktober 2020 <br> <br> <br> <br>Die Sequenzierung von DNA gehrt heute zum Standardrepertoire in der <br>biologischen und medizinischen Forschung. Das um die Mitte der 2000er Jahre <br>etablierte Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) war der wichtigste <br>technologische Auslser fr diese Entwicklung. Es kam zu groen <br>Erkenntnisgewinnen fr die molekular arbeitenden Biowissenschaften. <br>Das TATuP-Thema in Heft 2/2021 nimmt dies zum Anlass, um ber diese <br>Entwicklungen zu reflektieren. Es geht um Chancen und Grenzen der neuen <br>Methoden vor dem Hintergrund der sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und <br>politischen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart. Um der Genetisierung bzw. <br>Molekularisierung der Gesellschaft auf individueller und kollektiver Ebene <br>nachzugehen, sollen Akteure und ihre Praktiken, Interessen und Motive ebenso <br>bercksichtigt werden wie Strukturen und Wissensordnungen. In den STS <br>standen bisher vor allem die Anwendungsbereiche der Medizin, Pharmakologie <br>und Forensik im Mittelpunkt. Mit diesen Feldern wird die DNA-Sequenzierung <br>meist zuerst in Verbindung gebracht. Der Themenschwerpunkt geht darber aber <br>deutlich hinaus. Gefragt sind Beitrge ber jene neuen Einsatzbereiche, die <br>begrifflich schwerer zu fassen sind, weil es sich nicht um klar abgegrenzte <br>Fcher, sondern oft um Querschnittsbereiche handelt. Dazu gehren zum <br>Beispiel die Archogenetik, die Genealogie, aber auch die <br>Biodiversittsforschung und die molekulare (Palo-)Epidemiologie. Ist von <br>DNA-Sequenzierung die Rede, werden Felder wie die Human <br>Remains-/Restitutionsforschung oder die Genetic History immer noch zu wenig <br>beachtet. Doch auch hier spielen NGS-Verfahren eine zunehmend grere Rolle. <br>Gerade mit der Archo- oder Palogenetik ist ein neues Forschungsfeld <br>entstanden, das traditionelle und lang etablierte historisch arbeitende <br>Fcher herausfordert. <br> <br> <br> <br>Erwartete Beitrge <br>Da die DNA-Sequenzierung zahlreiche gesellschaftliche Bereiche durchdringt, <br>ist die Bandbreite der mglichen Perspektiven gro. Neben Beitrgen aus <br>allen TA-verwandten Bereichen (z. B. Technik-/Wissenschaftsgeschichte, <br>Technik- und Wissenschaftsforschung, Technik- und <br>Wissenschaftssoziologie/STS) sind besonders auch solche aus Fchern und <br>Forschungs-feldern willkommen, die sich den u. g. und hnlichen Folgen des <br>NGS theoretisch-konzeptionell und/oder empirisch, auch anhand von <br>Fallstudien, widmen (z. B. Kulturanthropologie, Soziologie, <br>Geschichtswissenschaft, Politikwissenschaft). Auch fachbergreifende Artikel <br>sind mglich und wnschenswert. <br> <br> <br> <br>Bitte lesen Sie den vollstndigen CfA: PDF-Download <br> auf www.tatup.de <br> <br> <br> <br>Gast-Herausgeberinnen dieses TATuP-Themas: Elsbeth Bsl (Universitt der <br>Bundeswehr Mnchen); Stefanie Samida (Universitt Heidel-berg/Universitt <br>Zrich) <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>*** <br> <br> <br> <br>Call for Abstracts: Next Generation Sequencing: Challenges for Science and <br>Society <br> <br>TATuP special topic in issue 2/2021. Deadline for submitting your abstract: <br>09 October 2020 <br> <br> <br> <br>Today, DNA sequencing has become part of the common knowledge of biological <br>and medical research. Next generation sequencing (NGS), which was <br>established in the mid-2000s, was the most important catalyst for this <br>development. Knowledge production in molecular based biosciences increased <br>significantly. <br> <br>This TATuP special issue 2/2021 seeks to reflect on these developments. It <br>is about chances and limits of the new method as well as its entanglement <br>with social, cultural, economic and political challenges in the present. <br>Focusing on genetization and molecularization on both an individual and <br>collective level, actors and their practices, interests and motives as well <br>as structures and knowledge orders need to be considered. As yet, science <br>and technology studies focused particularly on medical, pharmacological and <br>forensic fields of application because sequencing DNA is usually linked with <br>these fields. This proposed special issue, however, aims to go much further. <br>We ask for contributions on fields of application which defy disciplinary <br>classification because they do not belong to clearly delineated disciplines, <br>but often cross-cutting fields, e.g. archaeogenetics, genealogy, research on <br>biodiversity and molecular (palaeo-)epidemiology. Despite the growing <br>significance of NGS in general, its importance is often ignored in fields <br>such as human remains and repatriation studies and genetic history. <br>Particularly, with the establishment of new fields such as archaeogenetics <br>or paleogenetics traditional and long-established historical disciplines are <br>being challenged. <br> <br> <br> <br>Expected contributions <br> <br>Since sequencing DNA pervades numerous social fields there is a broad range <br>of possible perspectives. We are looking both for contributions from all <br>fields related to technology assessment/TA (e.g. history of science, history <br>of technology, science studies, science and technology studies), and, <br>particularly, from disciplines and research fields which explore aspects of <br>NGS (e.g. cultural anthropology, sociology, history, archaeology, politics) <br>and address the below mentioned aspects either theoretically and/or <br>empirically or extend with regard to case studies. We also welcome <br>interdisciplinary contributions. <br> <br> <br> <br>Please read the com <br> plete <br> CfA (PDF) on <br>www.tatup.de <br> <br> <br> <br>Guest editors of this TATuP special topic: Elsbeth Bsl (Bundeswehr <br>University Mnchen); Stefanie Samida (University of Heidelberg/University of <br>Zurich) <br> <br> <br> <br>---- <br> <br> <br> <br>TATuP Zeitschrift fr Technikfolgenabschtzung in Theorie und Praxis <br>Karlsruher Institut fr Technologie (KIT) <br> <br>Institut fr Technikfolgenabschtzung und Systemanalyse (ITAS) <br> <br>Karlstr. 11 <br> <br>76133 Karlsruhe <br> <br> www.tatup.de <br> <br> <br> <br> redaktion@tatup.de <br> <br>Telefon: +49 721 608-26014 <br>Fax: +49 721 608-24806 <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
