4S/EASST Conference August 31-September 3, 2016
4S/EASST Conference August 31-September 3, 2016 Barcelona #4sEASST2016 EASST / 4S 2016 Presidents’ Message Us donem la benvinguda a Barcelona! ¡Os damos la bienvenida a Barcelona! It is our great pleasure to open the program for the EASST/4S 2016 conference, exploring the multiple places and possibilities for enacting ‘Science + technology by other means’. Every four years, beginning in 1984 in Ghent, Belgium, the European Association for Science and Technology Studies (EASST) and the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) have held joint conferences. We see the relationship between EASST and 4S as that of complementary sister societies, and welcome the opportunity to deepen and expand that relationship through these confluences of our membership. This year, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of a collective of colleagues within the Spanish STS network, we come together in Barcelona to enjoy both intellectual and cultural replenishment at the EASST/4S Conference BCN 2016. We are particularly grateful to the sts2016bcn organizing and scientific committees, who have worked with tremendous commitment and care to accommodate as many STS scholars as possible within the limits of even the spacious Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona. As interest in STS continues to grow, this conference saw an overwhelming response to the call, with over 2500 abstracts submitted. While this is a good problem to have, it is a real one as it implies that not all of those who wish to participate can be included, however creatively the organizers approach the challenge of expanding space and time. Thanks to the organizers’ commitment to maximize inclusion, the program for the next four days reflects the depth and range of scholarship and activism within the multiple fields that comprise STS. -
Alcune Riflessioni Sul 10° Anniversario Di Tecnoscienza
15 Anniversary Reflection Alcune riflessioni sul 10° anniversario di Tecnoscienza Lucy Suchman Lancaster University Abstract: How can STS move towards a greater pluriversality? How can we question the taken for granted of STS scholarship and geopolitics, so as to engage across radically different worlds? Thinking through a decade of Tecnoscienza and bridging the articles published in the 2010 and the 2019 volumes, the contribution reflects upon possible lines of future STS inquiry. Keywords: STS; pluriversality; feminism; more than human relations; Tecnoscienza. Submitted: May 30, 2020 – Accepted: 30 June, 2020 Corresponding author: Lucy Suchman, Lancaster University, Dept. of Sociology, Bowland College, Lancaster. LA1 4YT, United Kingdom. Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction How can STS (an STS multiple) be part of wider transitions from uni- versal knowledge projects to projects in articulating pluriversality?1 The answer to this question cannot, obviously, be a prescription for what ‘we’ all should be doing. Rather, answering needs to be part of an ongoing, collective conversation in which we locate ourselves as speakers/writers, not once and for all but always in relation to the discussion at hand. Our discussion here engages with the 10th anniversary of the journal Tecnosci- enza, established initially as a forum that invites contributions from STS scholars for whom Italian (once the imperial voice of Renaissance Eu- rope) is their native tongue, or those who have undertaken the work of gaining fluency in that beautiful language. This itself is a step towards greater pluriversality, asking different readers to make the effort of be- coming multilingual or risk missing out. -
“I Have, More Than Ever, a Sense of the Immovability of These Institutions”
“I have, more than ever, a sense of the immovability of these institutions” Conversation with Lucy Suchman Xerox PARC, Palo Alto, August 13, 1999 Claus Otto Scharmer1 Lucy Suchman is a Professor in the Centre for Science Studies and Sociology Department at Lancaster University in England. Her pathbreaking work at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) inspired a whole generation of researchers on technology and work practices. COS: Lucy Suchman, what underlying questions does your work address, and what in your own life formed the context from which your research interests evolved? I. Origins: Berkeley 1968 Lucy Suchman: I grew up in Ithaca, New York, and my parents and stepfather were at Cornell. I studied anthropology as an undergraduate, but without the idea that I would actually continue and become an anthropologist. I became more and more interested in developments around symbolic interactionism and ethnomethodology. I became very interested in challenges to traditional sociology that were based on the idea that social structure is not a given, it’s ongoingly and actively constituted and reproduced. I found this very compelling because I was interested in change, and it seemed if things were ongoingly produced, then they could be produced differently. So it felt to me as though it opened up a space of a kind of contingency to the way things work that I found very heartening. I was a student at Berkeley from 1968 on, 1 The conversation with Lucy Suchman took place as part of a global interview project with 25 eminent thinkers on knowledge and leadership. -

PRACTISING COMPARISON Logics, Relations, Collaborations
MATTERING PRESS Mattering Press is an academic-led Open Access publisher that operates on a not-for-profit basis as a UK registered charity. It is committed to developing new publishing models that can widen the constituency of academic knowledge and provide authors with significant levels of support and feedback. All books are available to download for free or to purchase as hard copies. More at matteringpress.org. The Press’s work has been supported by: Centre for Invention and Social Process (Goldsmiths, University of London), European Association for the Study of Science and Technology, Hybrid Publishing Lab, infostreams, Institute for Social Futures (Lancaster University), Open Humanities Press, and Tetragon. Making this book Mattering Press is keen to render more visible the unseen processes that go into the production of books. We would like to thank Joe Deville, who acted as the Press’s coordinating editor for this book, the reviewer Manuel Tironi, Jenn Tomomitsu for the copy-editing, Tetragon for the production and typesetting, Sarah Terry for the proofreading, and Ed Akerboom at infostreams for format- ting the html version of this book. Cover Browsing books, on- or offline, entails comparison, of covers amongst other things. Designing covers too entails comparison, of typefaces, for example. Typographic judgments of aesthetic, use, and conceptual value are settled by comparing different typefaces that, to the trained eye, mark particular histories of craft, production, and thought. Books on graphic design, such as Josef Müller- Brockmann’s great Grid Systems, establish ‘good’ typography by reference to a canon of classic, Latin typefaces, some of which you can compare, in practice, on this cover. -
