CfA Open Panel “Demarcating boundaries of and with data: Boundary work in the age of datafication”, STS-Hub 2025, Berlin
(Apologies for cross-posting) Dear colleagues, We hope this email finds you well. We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract to our open panel “Demarcating boundaries of and with data: Boundary work in the age of datafication” at the STS-Hub 2025 “Diffracting the Critical” (Berlin, 11-14 March, 2025). The STS-Hub is a bi-annual conference series that brings together German STS-organizations and STS-related labs and research groups. Please see below for the panel abstract. Abstracts and presentations can be held in either English or German. Please submit an abstract (max. 200 words) with a short bio (75 words) by 31st October 2024 by email to yana.boeva[at]sowi.uni-stuttgart.de. Decisions will be communicated by 15th November. The conference will take place in-person. Due to technical reasons, there will be no hybrid options for participation. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us. We look forward to receiving your proposals. Best regards, Louis Ravn (University of Copenhagen) & Yana Boeva (University of Stuttgart) ………………………………………………………………… …………………………… Demarcating boundaries of and with data: Boundary work in the age of datafication Chairs: Louis Ravn & Yana Boeva Since the initial theorization of boundary work as the “attribution of selected characteristics to the institution of science” to demarcate it from “non-science” (Gieryn, 1983: 782), the concept has found widespread use in STS and beyond. More recently, an emerging body of scholarship on data attends to the multifaceted ways digital data relate to various practices of boundary-making. Forms of discursive boundary work have been shown to demarcate digital data as ontologically distinct from their underpinning socio-technical apparatuses (Thylstrup et al., 2022), while digital data are also mobilized to reinforce existing and install new boundaries (Amoore, 2021; Pelizza & Van Rossem, 2023). In this open panel, we pursue this conference’s theme of “diffracting the critical” (Haraway, 1988; Barad, 2007) by asking: How do different modes of boundary work play out in the age of datafication? To what extent do digital data continue the legacies of technoscientific boundary work, and how are digital data productive of new boundary-drawing practices? We invite contributions that: • Critically engage with the entanglements between boundary work and data practices • Diffract related concepts (e.g. boundary objects, agential cuts) in relation to data practices • Explore “boundaries” as a guiding metaphor/concept for digital STS (Vertesi et al., 2019) Yana Boeva, PhD Junior Research Group Leader & Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Stuttgart Institute for Social Sciences | Cluster of Excellence "Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture ” Latest publications: - Boeva, Y., Braun, K., & Kropp, C.
