Dear colleagues and students,
We kindly invite you to a 'book club' session: on 15 July 2025 (Tuesday),
1:00-2:30 pm CET.
We’ll discuss the book Acting with the World: Agency in the Anthropocene
with its author Andrew
Pickering in the context of “Up to Date in STS: Early Career Reading Group
.”
The discussion will take place on Zoom:
https://tum-conf.zoom-x.de/j/64740850511?pwd=LD6vPg7enODVhEebE6Bboao0w05GT9.1
Andrew Pickering is a Professor Em. of Sociology and Philosophy at Exeter
University and author of the STS-classic The Mangle of Practice. In his new
book Acting with the World, he criticizes the stance of control and mastery of
nature and draws on cybernetics to elaborate on experimental, responsive and
performative approaches of acting with the world as vital alternatives.
Please note: the discussion is pre-orchestrated – members of the “Up to
Date in STS” reading group have prepared questions for discussion, which
will kick off the meeting and shape the main part of the conversation.
However, interested participants are very welcome to tune in, and further
questions/comments can be posed if there is enough time.
All best,
Patrick (Bieler), Ruzana (Liburkina) and Yana (Boeva)
Yana Boeva, PhD
Junior Research Group Leader & Postdoctoral Researcher, University of
Stuttgart
