    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.

    G&L (PRINT) ISSN 1747–6321 Gender G&L (ONLINE) ISSN 1747–633X and Language Editorial In this editorial we reflect on and celebrate the first five years of the journal, provide our annual profile of contributors, announce important changes to the editorial structure, and describe some up-coming changes to the journal to respond to its continuing expansion and development. Five years of Gender and Language Although the journal Gender and Language has been publishing now for five years, the earliest discussions of the journal occurred over a decade ago. When a number of us first discussed the proposal for the journal at the International Gender and Language Association (IGALA) conference in Lancaster in 2002, there was a debate there that echoes a long-standing one in women and gender studies – the debate about whether a separate journal would constitute a significant forum for work otherwise not fully represented, or a ghetto. Ultimately most of us decided the former. It is worth continuing to think about which kinds of articles on language and gender are submitted to or published in this journal, and which are submitted and published elsewhere. However, one of the significant accomplishments of the journal is creating space, in the kind of peer-reviewed format that counts most heavily in hiring, promotion, and tenure, for scholarship on language and gender. Our journal alone now publishes about ten articles a year, and that number is about to increase (see up-coming changes, below). In our early discussions about the journal, some scholars noted that if we were to start such a journal, we needed to use it to raise the bar on language and gender scholarship.

    The Companion The Newsletter of The Guild of St George Number 11 (2011) www.guildofstgeorge.org.uk A Letter from the Master ear fellow Companions, Your copy of The Companion is arriving a little earlier this year. We are trying to get back to the original Dplan of sending it out six months before the papers for the AGM. But there is a lot going on and I hope you will find it as full as last year’s issue. One thing you were promised, alas, is not happening – or not happening this year. Stephen Wildman and I had planned to follow up last year’s economic symposium in London with a second event to be called ‘Who Pays for the Environment?’ But as some of you know, I had a major accident in December – I slipped on the ice and broke my hip – and that made it difficult for me to pursue all my plans. We have therefore decided to postpone the second symposium and are hoping to hold it on 11th February – exactly two years after the last one. Ruskin and his ideas were very much in the news at the time of the first symposium. Articles by Andrew Hill in the Financial Times and Jonathan Glancey in the Guardian had drawn attention to the contemporary relevance of his social and economic concerns, as had Bernard Richards on More4 News. This year he has more than once come up, in, for instance, Simon Jenkins’s Guardian column, but I have been more struck by his extensive presence as an artist.
