205. Vectors
from Society for Social Studies of Science
(2021-1-28 0:31)

Anything that has both direction and magnitude can be described as a vector. Take a billiard ball. Standing still, it is just a ball. But set in motion, it has new capacities and potentials: it can hit another ball on the table; it can rearrange the board. Or take a mosquito. Alone, it is an […] The post 205.

210. Wiring digital rights: Embedding rights“by infrastructure”in Internet governance

This panel seeks to explore how the language of civil rights and freedoms can be translated in the language and materiality of infrastructures and what are the complexities that arise from this process. As Keller Easterling (2014) writes “changes to the globalizing world are being written, not in the language of law and diplomacy, but […] The post 210.

Questioning the brain drain circulation and the scientific diasporas approaches (Gaillard & Gaillard, 1998; Meyer, 2011; Pellegrino, 2001, 2013), we criticize the supposedly causal relation between the development (Vinck, 2014), the scientific internationalization policies (Rivero y Trejo, 2020), and the knowledge production. That brain circulation is configured in an unequal way, especially when we look […] The post 201.

These are unprecedented times, or so we are told through COVID-19 communications articulated by global health institutions and national governments. Such exceptionalism foregrounds the significance of the current crisis its bodily and economic impacts, the global and local inequities that have materialized and the myriad meanings it has created. Yet this exceptionalism, in practices […] The post 206. Viral Relationalities appeared first on Society for Social Studies of Science .

Recent scholarship on mining and drilling (Appel et al. 2015, Klinger 2017), the anthropocene (Yusoff 2018), urban infrastructure (Anand 2017), maritime logistics (Starosielski 2015, Campling & Colás 2021), the transit of toxins (Murphy 2013), and the disposal of bodies (Krupar 2018) theorizes the politics of sub-surface worlds. Bringing these depths into view has centered new […] The post 209. What we talk about when we talk about depth appeared first on Society for Social Studies of Science .

Co-Chairs: Shannon N Conley and Brenda Trinidad We are interested in applications of speculative fictions exploring ideas of stewardship that translate or extend practices as applied terrestrially or to an increased human influence in the cosmos. We invite papers that reflect on the role and utility that speculative fiction can play in fostering pedagogical and/or […] The post 202.

208. Ways of Healing: Exploring non-Biomedical Cures as Emancipatory and Biopolitical Knowledge-Prac
from Society for Social Studies of Science
(2021-1-23 3:16)

Local health traditions have largely been devalued in the biomedical understanding of health and disease. This approach fails to recognise that a population can be ‘self-reliant’ in its health care practices, a philosophy, and perspective that is held within non-Western health cultures such as the ancient tradition of Ayurveda (Mathpati et al., 2020). Among the […] The post 208. Ways of Healing: Exploring non-Biomedical Cures as Emancipatory and Biopolitical Knowledge-Practices appeared first on Society for Social Studies of Science .

Taking lessons from plants and animals, drones, machines, algorithms, networks and platforms, STS scholarship on vision has decentered human vision, establishing it as a political technology. These accounts, while addressing the materiality and technology of vision, tend to separate human from non-human. Instead of taking this dichotomy for granted, this panel suggests that scholars can […] The post 207.
