Call for papers:
Governing Technologies. Exploring datafied practices, imaginaries, and
digital state assemblages in Asia
Research workshop (online), organised by Monash University and University
of Nottingham, Malaysia
20-21 October 2022
The world over, we see states imagining and implementing the digitisation
of governance and services through practices of datafication – and
technology actors assuming the functions of government. From biometric
citizenship and identity systems for service delivery to the making of
humanitarian data systems, the making of digital cities to deliberate
internet blackouts disconnecting entire populations, digital technologies
today have become closely entangled with social power structures and with
how (state) authority is performed.
We seek to bring together scholars interested in unravelling these politics
and practices of the digital in a research workshop (online). We invite
exchange on empirical and conceptual contributions from multiple
disciplines that critically examine current arrangements of digital
technologies, societies, and/or states in Asia. Secondly, we also would
like to make this an opportunity to discuss possible future research
collaborations across the region and concurrent disciplines. This could,
for example, take the form of a planned special issue in an academic
journal or plans for collaborative and transdisciplinary research projects.
More details can be found in the full call for papers (here
),
abstracts can be submitted until 15 May 2022.
