Spinning-On: STS Movement Workshop on 27\u201329 September 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In an era fraught with dizzying socio-political events and burgeoning ecological catastrophes, this workshop for a special issue will delve into the concept of epistemic dizziness as a disordered state of whirling vertigo, applying it to the contemporary state of STS. As we navigate the tumultuous landscape of an open-ended pandemic, war, and socio-ecological devastation (Stengers 2021), the research practices of STS itself risk inducing \u203aepistemic dizziness\u2039. This workshop, inspired by Donna Haraway (2016), draws on \u203aserious fun\u2039 as a means of staving off paralysis and fainting, urging that knowledge production can serve as both a coping mechanism and a source of resilience. Repurposing the concept of \u203ailinx\u2039, as delineated by Roger Caillois (1961), the series of lecture performances will critically examine playful dizzying practices in Western, indigenous, and other worlds as a pathway towards comprehending our vertiginously speedy world.<\/p>\n

EASST Fund (https:\/\/www.easst.net )supports this workshop, which will serve as a frame for a closed editorial workshop to prepare a special issue on the theme and also aims to reach an interested public in Berlin and beyond to engage with the state of contemporary STS and scholarship in general in creative manners.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward and kindly invite you to this three-day workshop by members of the Lab Jonna Josties<\/a>, Britta Acksel<\/a>, and Maxime Le Calv\u00e9<\/a>, which will take place at the \u201cMatters of Activity\u201d Cluster’s Central Laboratory, Sophienstra\u00dfe 22a, September 27th-29th, 2023.<\/p>\n

Invited speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Giraldo Herrera, anthropology, Leibniz-Zentrum f\u00fcr Marine Tropenforschung (ZMT)
