We invite you to submit an abstract to the seek Speculation Design Public
and Participatory Technoscience: Possibilities and Critical Perspectives at
EASST 2010 in Trento Italy 2-4 September 2010.
Over the past decade there has been an increasing appointment between design
and STS. One emerging and novel area of exchange is concerned with exploring
the ways in which practices of 'speculative design' and STS concerns of
publics participation politics like well as expectations come together to
inform one another to critique one another and to cooperate in
developing new modes of co-production of contemporary technoscience.
Although such associations are promising they are nascent and in need of
articulation and urgent examination.
For this track we are soliciting participation from STS scholars design
researchers and practicing designers. Our ob
scholarly approaches and exemplary projects in order to critically explore
the practices of Speculative Design.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 15 March 2010.
Submission instructions are available online at:
About EASST:
The EASST_010 conference is the biennial forum of the European Association
for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) for contributions on topics
from the range of disciplines found within science technology and
innovation studies. The particular focus for the 2010 conference is that of
practice and performance. Science and technology are seen as performative
domains of the "social" situated practices rooted and grown in a
sociomaterial context.
More About the track 'Speculation Design Public and Participatory
Technoscience: Possibilities and Critical Perspectives'
By speculative design we refer to a set of design practices and outcomes
that are moving away from common notions of design as "problem-solving" or
"styling" towards framing design as a means for surfacing and materialising
issues and contributing to the formation of publics and futures. In this
move design is increasingly throw as a possible mode of intervention into
technoscience thereby establishing renewed associations with STS. With
speculative design the performativity of the ob
concern for both designers and theorists as its ob
often brought into being to and interpreted as materially and discursively
enacting values identities agendas and beliefs. A challenge for STS then
is to represent and characterise the performativity of the ob
speculative design in new ways that avoid recourse to the familiar positions
and debates concerning 'the political of artefacts'.'
For this track we are solicit participation from STS scholars design
researchers and practicing designers. Our ob
scholarly approaches and exemplary projects in order to explore and outline
this field of convergence. Within the track presentations will be organised
thematically.
Key questions we hope to oration include the following:
- How does a convergence of STS and speculative design refr
intervention?
- How does the convergence of STS and speculative design perform issues of
politics and the political?
- How does speculative design operate to articulate issues and what are its
limitations in these endeavours?
- What kind of futures and expectations are performed in the doing of
speculative design?
- How can we understand novel ob
and involvement?
- What are working strategies for supporting this convergence of STS and
'speculative' design?
- What are the limitations of STS methodologies in contributing to the
design process and analysing the ob
- What are limitations of design training and methods to seriously taking up
STS concepts and methodologies?
