Lisboa, 7-9 de junio de 2017

redescts_logo-negro

Compartimos esta convocatoria de participación en el primer encuentro conjunto de la Red esCTS y la red portuguesa de Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y la Tecnología.

Convocatoria de participación

El encuentro tendrá lugar en Lisboa, Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa, (Avenida Prof. Aníbal de Bettencourt, 9, 1600-189 Lisboa www.ics.ulisboa.pt) del 7 al 9 de junio, con el siguiente título: Perderse en la traducción. Personas, tecnologías, prácticas y conceptos que atraviesan fronteras. Se aceptarán propuestas de ponencias y comunicaciones, así como de otros formatos menos tradicionales (presentaciones audiovisuales, talleres, actividades, conversatorios, u otros formatos alternativos).

Portugal y España comparten muchas cosas, pero también se encuentran divididos por líneas diversas – políticas, lingüísticas, históricas, tecnológicas. Forman parte de una misma península, y aún así, son dos entidades singulares. Dos estados, dos sistemas políticos. Varios idiomas. Dos sistemas científicos y comunidades académicas. En diversos sentidos, Portugal y España representan los dos lados de una frontera. Y sin embargo, tal y como los Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (CTS) nos han enseñado, las fronteras y los límites no son algo que podamos dar por supuesto. Los Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y la Tecnología han mostrado cómo, tanto en las prácticas tecnocientíficas como en el resto de prácticas sociales, toda frontera se ve continuamente atravesada, continuamente desafiada, continuamente rehecha.

Los Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y la Tecnología también han evidenciado que mantener una frontera es una práctica performativa que precisa de separación tanto como de integración, de diferencia tanto como de traducción, de prohibiciones a la vez que de transgresiones. La existencia de líneas divisorias requiere, forzosamente, de objetos, personas e informaciones que puedan pasar a través de esas divisiones.

Call for Papers: 4th ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF RECENT SOCIAL SCIENCE

Blog,

Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands

June 9-10, 2017

This two-day conference of the Society for the History of Recent Social Science (HISRESS) will bring together researchers working on the history of post-World War II social science. It will provide a forum for the latest research on the cross-disciplinary history of the post-war social sciences, including but not limited to anthropology, economics, psychology, political science, and sociology as well as related fields like area studies, communication studies, history, international relations, law and linguistics. We are especially eager to receive submissions that treat themes, topics, and events that span the history of individual disciplines.

The conference aims to build upon the recent emergence of work and conversation on cross-disciplinary themes in the postwar history of the social sciences. A number of monographs, edited collections, special journal issues, and gatherings at the École normale supérieure de Cachan, Duke University, Harvard University, the London School of Economics, New York University, the University of Toronto and elsewhere testify to a growing interest in the developments spanning the social sciences in the early, late, and post-Cold War periods. Most history of social science scholarship, however, remains focused on the 19th and early 20th centuries, and attuned to the histories of individual disciplines. Though each of the major social science fields now has a community of disciplinary historians, research explicitly concerned with cross-disciplinary topics remains comparatively rare. The purpose of the conference is to further encourage the limited but fruitful cross-disciplinary conversations of recent years.

Call for Abstracts: Cultures of Self-Help: Disordered Selves, Emergent Sociality, and Collective Horizons of Auto-Transformation

Blog, ,
2016 AES (American Ethnological Society ) SPRING MEETING
Washington, D.C., March 31-April 2, 2016
From books to workshops and economic programs, self-help has become a
discourse and a mode of labor through which people around the world make
sense of their selfhood and their social relations. Invoking the academic
expertise of psychology, self-improvement has become a global phenomenon
not only through consumerism and the spread of the therapeutic ethos; it
has also come to organize broad swaths of communal, associational, and
intimate life amidst flexible capitalism and the retrenchment of the state.Critiques of self-help argue that it embeds neoliberal notions of self-care
and self-management at the expense of social responsibilities and
interdependencies. They argue that self-help at once replaces social
solidarities within austerity politics and a fraying social fabric, while
also reproducing race, class, and gender hierarchies by qualifying selfhood
according to access and availability to spend time in projects of
self-fashioning (Illouz 2008, McGee 2007). Whereas ‘self-help’ often posits
the commercialization of human relationships through metaphors of costs,
gains, and self-improvement, it may also constitute new imaginations of
social collectivity and ethics in times of uncertainty and transition.

This panel seeks ethnographic approaches to understanding the possibilities
and perils of self-help in diverse social contexts. How do social
applications of self-help reconfigure power, create social networks, and
apportion new rationalities and affective states of embodied control,
dependency and precariousness? How do actors seek to resolve disorder and
incoherence in personal and social spheres by using techniques of
self-help? How does self-help inculcate normative social relations, or
alternately posit emergent possibilities for emancipatory social action?
Possible paper topics may address, but are not limited to:

– ·       Ethnographic analyses of community-based self-help
associations;
– ·       Imbrications of religious activism and self-help, including
religious, spiritual, or ‘new age’ applications of self-help practices;
– ·       Regimes of self-help as modalities of political and economic
governance, including development apparatuses and microfinance;
– ·       Self-help in the context of rehabilitation, including medical
and therapeutic interventions and addiction treatment programs;
– ·       Self-help and self-control, including self-tracking and ‘life
hacking’ practices within the application of data and measurement to
lifestyle, health, and notions of the ‘quantified self’;
– ·       Sensory or phenomenological accounts of disability,
able-bodiedness, and subjectivity in self-help;
– ·       Self-help, ‘soft skills’, and affective labor within global
service industries and corporate management structures;
– ·       Digital ethnography of online or virtual self-help
communities, including anonymous chat-rooms, message boards, and other
interactive digital worlds.

Please send paper abstracts of up to 250 words to
awallace@gradcenter.cuny.edu by or before Friday, February 12th, 2016.
