apologies for unintended crossposting 7th STS Italia Summer School | ArTS in Society - Application deadline extended May 3rd, 2024
STS Italia – Italian Society of Science and Technology Studies, RedEsCTS, the Spanish Network for Science and Technology Studies and the Real Academia de España in Rome (RAER) extend the call for application for the 7th STS Italia Summer School , “ArTS in Society. Design, architecture, art, music and other creative practices in dialogue among technoscience, society and aesthetic practices”, to May 3rd. The summer school will be held in Rome (Italy) from September the 3rd to September the 6th, 2024.
Art and design practices can help us question and reimagine scientific knowledge and technologies that shape our daily lives. To address the socio-ecological crises we face, we must reinvent our daily routines and establish new relationships with both humans and non-human beings in our world. Art and design offer ways to explore and rethink these issues. They can be valuable resources for overcoming communication barriers and engaging citizens. Science and Technology Studies focus on the interconnection between everyday practices, science, and technology. It is not surprising that artists, performers, designers, and Science and Technology Studies scholars have collaborated, sharing methods and approaches.
The 7th STS Italia Summer School aims to explore and enact such dialogue to provide an environment for hands-on learning and experimenting for early career researchers (Ph.D. students, post-docs), particularly about: – how Science and Technology Studies’ notions and methods can contribute to the development of competences that enable the production of artworks or design prototypes allowing to explore alternative and more careful forms of inhabiting the world; – how design and artistic practices can allow social sciences to rethink and approach in different ways the entanglement of technoscience and everyday practices.
Main themes that will be addressed:
* o what competences and kinds of knowledge more-than-human designers need; o how to co-design with neglected more-than-human actors; o how artistic practices can explore and foster more balanced compositions and evolutions of the social; o how artistic and design practices can contribute to the development of inventive ethnographic methods to investigate more-than-human worlds o how art and design practices can contribute to the development and construction of creative pathways in the communication of science and technology; o how art and design practices can contribute to the development of learning pathways in the field of social studies of science and technology
Several group activities, performance creation, participatory
