Er filosofi kulturbundet?

OBS: Sted: Californien, Santa Cruz

"Free to Universalize or Bound by Culture? Philosophy in a Multicultural Context" Conference

Saturday, October 20, 2012, Humanities 1, Room 210
http://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/news/multiculturalphilosophy.html

CONFERENCE AIMS: This public conference investigates the relation between philosophy and its multicultural context. Are there immutable questions and universal answers regarding knowledge, values, and reality, or is philosophical inquiry bound by history, geography, and culture? Should the philosopher be responsible to the public? Four panels of local intellectuals from Google, San Francisco State University, San José State University, Stanford, UC Santa Cruz, and University of San Francisco wish to engage with a diverse audience.

Helsekroppens sociale teori


Call for abstracts - Conference on Body, Public Health & Social Theory

Keynotes: Professor Loïc Wacquant, Professor Annemarie Mol, Professor Richard Jenkins, Professor Peter Taylor-Gooby, Senior Lecturer Simon Cohn, Associate Professor Katherine Frohlich. Conference organizers: Associate Professor Nanna Mik-Meyer, Assistant Professors Morten Hulvej Rod and Susanne Boch Waldorff. 

Conference on Body, Public Health & Social Theory

We are today witnessing a growing interest on body issues in Western societies. This focus includes how individuals’ bodies are shaped in alignments with dominating neoliberal ideas in society. This focus also includes how governments shape population health, and also outside of government offices public health, health promotion and disease prevention have become organizing tropes for ongoing reconfigurations of human life and the body.This conference wishes to analyze how individuals, public health interventions, media and politicians attempt to regulate, govern, and transform human bodies, behaviors, and practices in a wide range of fields. The conference wishes to help stimulate a fruitful engagement between sociological/anthropological analysis of the body, public health research and research conducted within social and human sciences that focuses on public health and social theory.The conference will involve a combination of plenary lectures from seven keynote speakers, and the presentation of papers by conference participants in smaller, themed groups.Papers that address the following issues are especially welcomed:The human body in sociological/anthropological and public health studies, 2) The (bio)politics, ethics, and morality in public health, 3) Welfare and the marketization of public health/the body, 4) Media, politics and the body, 5) The “neuro-turn” in public health science, and 6) New contemporary trends in medical interventions (e.g. nudging)

Ny dagsorden for menneskevidenskaberne

update: 
See conference programme here:
http://www.mapping-humanities.dk/news/conference-1/conference-1-announcement.html


Goal of the Conference
The aim of this conference is to present the latest scholarly debates about contemporary knowledge production in the humanities and map the societal fields that call upon research in the humanities. A particular aim of the conference is to understand the humanities as situated between disciplinary science and other modes of research.

Keynote speakers include Nico Stehr, Karl Mannheim Professor for Cultural Studies at Zeppelin University, and Nikolas Rose, Head of Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine, King's College, London.

Registeration: Participation is free of charge, but registration is required at www.conferencemanager.dk/humanities. Deadline for registration is November 7, 2012.


Conference Announcement
The Humanities towards a New Agenda
Conference 1:
MAPPING THE HUMANITIES

November 21-22, 2012
What characterises the humanities today? Which methods and questions are at stake and developing? How do the humanities contribute to and negotiate today’s societal challenges, and how do they interact with and influence other scientific traditions and research fields?  What is the outline of the new human sciences that are developing at the borders between the humanities and other scientific fields?
Two newly established research programmes in Denmark, The Human Turn and Humanomics, are pleased to invite scholars, researchers and stakeholders to participate in this three-year international conference series, beginning with the inaugural conference Mapping the Humanities at Copenhagen Business School, 21-22 November 2012.

Goal of the conference

The conference series continues in 2013 with Part 2: Negotiating the Humanities, and in 2014 with Part 3: The Future of the Humanities. The 2012 conference constitutes an opening for all interested parties to contribute to the discussion of the quality and potentials of the humanities in contemporary society. The aim of the conference is to present the latest scholarly debates about contemporary and historical knowledge production in the humanities and map the societal fields that call upon research in the humanities.
A particular aim of the conference is to understand the humanities as situated between disciplinary science and other modes of research. The conference presents different perspectives on the relationship and flow between research in the humanities, and between the humanities and the social and natural sciences.  Live interviews with researchers operating in interdisciplinary fields will be a key part of the conference. 

Reserve the Date

Anyone with interest in attending the conference is strongly encouraged to reserve the date and submit an email indicating their interest in participating (dvh.lpf@cbs.dk). The main conference programme with the list of keynote speakers will be forthcoming in late September 2012.
Organisers
The Human Turn examines the new call for knowledge of the human in the natural sciences, the life sciences and the social sciences. The common drive is the realisation that knowledge of the human plays a decisive factor in handling societal challenges and the advancement of science. Focusing on a number of exemplary interdisciplinary fields such as political science, welfare science, health science, environmental science and the science of management, The Human Turn investigates the consequences and potentials of this new human turn.

Humanomics 
is an interdisciplinary research programme that studies the historical, conceptual and institutional dynamics of the humanities. The programme seeks to provide insight into which humanist theories, methods and concepts that are operative in today’s science system, and in doing so seeks to develop an empirically-based philosophy of the humanities. The programme consists of a consortia comprising Aarhus University, University of Copenhagen and Roskilde University and is led by Frederik Stjernfelt and David Budtz Pedersen.
Both research programmes are supported by the VELUX FOUNDATION as integrating initiatives within its humanities programme.

Brudflader omkring neuroscience

MILESTONES 
A GNOSIS CONFERENCE


Forskningscenter GNOSIS 
Tuborgvej 164, København
Institut for Uddannelse og Pædagogik 
Aarhus Universitet

22. juni 2012 
Tilmelding på:


Tiden synes inde til at gøre holdt ved en helle, gøre status og beskue den videre færd for Forskningscenter GNOSIS – Mind and Thinking. Det filosofisk-pædagogiske initiativ kaldet GNOSIS blev sat i værk for at undersøge det epistemologiske brud omkring neuroscience, redegøre for konsekvenserne for eksisterende videnskabelige felter samt påpege de forhindringer for et nybrud institutionelle organiseringer og discipliner måtte udgøre.
Undersøgelsen af forskningen viste tydeligt, at en ny deterministisk centrisme ved hjernen og en teknologisk kortlægning af hjernen havde en begrænset effekt for den saglige og faglige praksis i berørte videns-felter, men at der var tale om store teoretiske forventninger, som ikke blev indløst. Neuroscience genopfinder i og for sig eksisterende videns-former inden for sit særegne regime. Neurocentrismen ekspanderer men imploderer, når det bliver åbenbart, at sind og tænkning er til som kropsliggjorte (embodied) fænomener, og når det endvidere står klart, at de kropslige fænomener forekommer omgivet (embedded), og når hjernen ikke længere kan betragtes alene som natur men også må anskues som en historisk størrelse. Hjernen viser sig at være påvirkelig og mindre solid, og med den plastiske hjerne som objekt og subjekt for viden er interessen åbnet for nye felter, organiseringer og discipliner. Social og kulturel neuroscience kan ikke længere anses som anvendt neuro-science drevet på naturlig, biologisk eller teknologisk grund.
Men hermed gentager historien sig; alle de store spørgsmål bliver igen bragt til torvs. GNOSIS – Mind and Thinking giver sit beskedne bidrag til, at tragedien ikke gentages som farce. Forskningscenter GNOSIS afsætter den 22. juni til en Milestone-konference, hvor der redegøres for udsynet i form af medarbejdernes projekter og inviterer til diskussion af den videre færd.

Topics of the afternoon session
Our time possesses and displays great expectations, not only to the neurosciences and the study of the brain, but also to genetics, cognitive sciences and recovery practices. We seem to hunt true knowledge of man. The mutual topic of the triadic afternoon mini-conference will be how to understand a dominant tendency of our time: man becomes depicted and deciphered between a ‘neurobiologization’ of the humanities and the social sciences and a ‘sociologization’ of the neurosciences. Our primary interest is devoted to knowledge-political perspectives of this ongoing, inevitable, and often productive clash.
We invite you to shed light on this zone of indiscernibility from your specific professional and scientific background. We look forward to listening to thoughts and interpretations, ’springing’ at least from philosophy, epistemology, biology, neuroscience, history of ideas, sociology, recovery practices, motivational psychology and bio-semiotics.

Danish STS on Display: Sensing, Knowing, Intervening

In STS there is a long tradition for studying the practices and materialities by which we come to sense, know and intervene in the world. These practices and materialities are heterogeneous, entangled, multiple, and contestable and therefore continuously surprise and enrich the conversations we engage in as researchers. Furthermore, this engagement continues to be carried out in ever new contexts and ways. This year’s DASTS conference wants to highlight and display the multiple ways of sensing, knowing, and intervening, which are present in the work of Danish STS-researchers. Taking this ‘sensitivity for differences’ as our starting point we also invite reflections on and experimentation with our own epistemic practices and materialities. How do we ourselves practice, display, and materialize the sensing, knowing, and intervening of our subjects and of STS? What new epistemic practices and materialities have or may emerge from STS studies more broadly speaking?

DASTS and the Centre for Medical Science and Technology Studies – a centre where the sensing, knowing, and intervening of medicine is studied and put on display (also literally!) – therefore invite established as well as young scholars to present and discuss their work, finished or in progress. The main purpose of the DASTS conference is to fertilize STS research broadly and the committee therefore welcomes entries from all areas of science and technology studies. Especially junior researchers wanting to share and discuss their work before participating in the 4S/EASTS conference later this year are invited to present their work.

Important dates:

9 April: deadline for paper abstracts

20 April: notification of acceptance

4S og EASST konference på CBS okt.2012 om videnskabs- og teknologistudier

from:

Annual Meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S)

2012: Copenhagen

October 17-20, 2012, Copenhagen Business School, Frederiksberg, Denmark
Held jointly with European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST)

(View the 2011, Cleveland meeting page).

“Design and displacement – social studies of science and technology”

For the Joint 4S/EASST conference 2012 we broadly invite papers that address the dynamics and interrelationships between science, technology and society. Papers which address the meeting’s theme ‘Design and Displacement’ are especially relevant, but papers on any topic in STS are welcome.

‘Design’ has become a key concept across a multitude of disciplinary domains and social spheres. In addition to its traditional ‘aesthetic’ associations, it is now a key term in multiple scientific domains and in diverse technological practices. One can even think of societies and social arrangements being ‘designed’. In science and technology, ‘design’ implies the re-arrangement of materials and ideas for innovative purposes. When newly designed scientific and technical objects enter the world, however, their initial purposes are often displaced.

For decades, STS researchers have been following the practical and political dimensions of science and technology. By focusing on concepts and practices of scientific and technological design at their sites of construction and on their multiple displacements the 2012 conference continues this tradition. By bringing together ‘design’ and ‘displacement’ we want to highlight how scientific and technological design engages with existing socio-technical arrangements in both planned and unplanned ways, facilitating both collaborations and contestations, and generating both order and disorder.

The conference encourages analytic, critical and practical engagement with design and displacement in several ways. First, it points to the need for investigating the relation between design intentions and their displacements, for example as catalysts for change and conflict. It also highlights the importance of investigating design controversies. It locates design practices in broader political contexts, and focuses attention on how design facilitates or hinders social inclusion, locally and globally. The theme ‘Design and Displacement’ invites careful analyses of the way design practices take part in shaping worlds. However, ‘Design and Displacement’ also raises questions around STS as design work and practice-based interventions. In this sense design becomes simultaneously topic and outcome, a situation that raises new questions concerning the role of STS research.

New! Call for Open Panels

As a new initiative, proposals for ‘open panels’ at the 2012 Joint Conference 4S/EASST can now be submitted. The selected open panels will then be included as part of the formal call for papers.

A ‘panel’ is a collection of papers that address a shared theme. Panels are normally submitted at the call for papers as a ‘closed package’ of papers and presentations. The 2012 conference hereby calls for open panels, i.e. panels that have a theme and a responsible anchor-person(s), but which are not already filled up with papers. The purpose of calling for open panels is to stimulate the formation of new networks around topics of interest to the 4S/EASST community and may take inspiration from the conference theme “Design and Displacement”. The selected open panels will be announced as part of the ordinary call for papers to come.

Submit your name, institutional affiliation and a short (maximum 300 words) description of the open panel theme along with a title. Deadline is January 4, 2012. Submit an Open Panel Now.

Proposers of open panels must be prepared to be in contact with the scientific program committee about the final composition of their panels and they must be prepared to chair the panel.

The selected open panels will be included in the call for papers opening January 11, 2012 and thereby allow direct submission of papers to a selected panel.

Exhibitors

The 4S is the oldest and largest scholarly association devoted to studying science, technology and society. The annual meeting attracts over 1,000 scholars. Many attendees look forward to the book exhibit for finding new books for class, for their research, and for staying current in the field. Visit the Exhibitors page for information on how to participate.http://www.4sonline.org/meeting/exhibitors

Mentorship Program

The Mentorship Program has become a popular part of the 4S conference. The goal of the program is to facilitate mentoring of individuals who are new to the conference and/or to 4S. A mentoring relationship assumes a minimum of one conversation at the 4S conference. It is hoped that mentoring relationships will also continue with at least two follow-up phone calls or emails during the following 12 months. We will match new scholars with more experienced scholars and make an effort to assign mentors outside of one's university. We hope that the mentoring project will allow new scholars to feel more at home in the STS community.

Teknologiforståelse i humaniora - legerum og miniværksteder

Fire workshops og en konference om teknologiforståelse i humaniora

I dag er det vigtigere end nogensinde at også humanister på universiteter lærer teknologiforståelse - både i forhold til deres hverdagsliv som undervisere og forskere og i forhold til de kompetencekrav, som også deres studerende vil blive mødt med, når de er færdige.

Det tredje rum er et kompetenceprojekt, som gennemføres på Arts på Aarhus Universitet i efteråret 2011.

Formålet er at åbne for at få humanister til at gå ind i 'det tredje rum', et legerum hvor teknologiforståelse og innovation går hånd i hånd. Folk fra sundhedsvidenskaberne, samfundsvidenskaberne og ikke mindst naturvidenskaberne har den fordel, at teknologiforståelse til en vis grad allerede er bygget ind i deres fagligheder - mens det i dag kun er humanister, der af egen kraft har opbygget teknologiforståelse, der kan ’lege med’. Selvom de humanister, der har bevæget sig i STS (Science and Technology feltet), har opbygget en mere funderet teknologiforståelse, bliver denne sjældent sat i spil i forhold til de humanistiske fagligheder.

I efteråret 2011 gennemføres således fire workshops og en konference for forskere og studerende. Tre workshops gennemføres på Campus Aarhus mens den sidste workshop og den afsluttende konference gennemføres på Campus Emdrup.

Teknologi vil blive bredt præsenteret af en vifte af oplægsholdere, der på forskellig vis har krydset mellem teknologi og humaniora – og alle oplæg har særligt henblik på hvordan humanister kan få noget ud af en udbygget ’technological literacy’.

Hver workshop består af en åben forelæsning for alle interesserede efterfulgt af to parallelle miniværksteder, hvor der i alt er 30 pladser pr. gang. Miniværkstederne er både være en introduktion/inspiration til hvad forskellige teknologier kan i koblingen med humanistiske forskning og en mulighed for at få konkrete svar på konkrete udfordringer, som de enkelte forskere og studerende står med. Tilmelding til workshops og foregår efter først til mølle princippet. Til hvert workshop følger forskellige bøger, som udleveres gratis til deltagerne, og der er gratis frokost.

Den afsluttende konference finder sted på DPU, AU, Tuborgvej 164, 2400 København. Den er for alle, der har deltaget i de tre workshops og desuden åben alle andre interesserede.

Forløb
Workshops
Det Tredje Rum kører af stablen oktober-december 2011. Der er et begrænset antal pladser og tilmelding er derfor obligatorisk. Tilmeldinger følger ’først til mølle’-princippet. Hvert arrangement består af en åben forelæsning for alle interesserede og en efterfølgende workshop for et begrænset antal deltagere. Tilmelding til workshops foregår efter først til mølle princippet.

Tilmelding til de enkelte workshops og den afsluttede konference, kan ske via links i boksen til højre på denne side.

De tre workshops i Campus Aarhus besøges af forskere fra Campus Emdrup i København og omvendt vil workshoppen på Campus Emdrup i København være domineret af forskere fra Campus Aarhus. På den afsluttende konference i København deltager forskere fra både Campus Aarhus og Campus Emdrup.

Alle deltagerne i miniværkstederne vil gratis modtage en bog, knyttet til workshoppens forskellige overordnede tematikker.

Program
Hver workshop følger samme program:

9.00-9.30:
kaffe og croissant

9.30-10.30:
Åben forelæsning for alle interesserede ved forskere med forskellige perspektiver på teknologiforståelse

10.40-13.00:
2 parallelle miniværksteder med plads til 30 deltagere med ’teknologi-undervisere’, der præsenterer teknologier med relevans for humanistisk forskning fx videobriller, mindmap-programmer, weblogs i undervisningen, videostreaming. Det er være to forskellige ’emner’ pr. gang. Seminarerne er en introduktion/inspiration til hvad forskellige teknologier kan i koblingen med humanistiske forskning og en mulighed for at deltagerne kan få konkrete svar på de udfordringer, som de enkelte forskere/undervisere står med.

13.00
Fælles opsummering og en afsluttende gratis frokost

Senest 14 dage forinden kan de udvalgte deltagere indsende konkrete spørgsmål til oplægsholderne, hvis de har noget helt konkret, de gerne vil have en uddybende introduktion til. Der er dog ingen garanti for, at alle spørgsmål vil blive behandlet på seminaret.

Proaktivistisk uddannelseskonference

Den 21. september afholder SOPHIA endnu en konference, denne gang en ungdomspolitisk konference, se dette link.

Der er tale om den 3. konference i rækken i SOPHIA’s projekt En flerstemmig vision for uddannelsessystemet – fra vuggestue til universitet, med pejlemærkerne 2015, 2025 og 2040.
Konferencens titel er

Tilpasning eller handling – om behovet for proaktivisme i uddannelsessystemet

De faglige foreninger i uddannelsessystemet, elev- og studenterorganisationerne og de politiske ungdomsorganisationer er hver især blevet bedt om at belyse, hvad der er galt og behovet for ændringer, og i 2 x gruppearbejde skal konferencedeltagerne sammen paneldeltagerne formulere kritikken og forslag til handlinger. På baggrund af det producerede materiale udarbejder SOPHIA efterfølgende en handleorienteret grønbog, der udsendes til alle deltagere og alle interessenter i uddannelsessystemet inkl. folketingspolitikerne.

Vi håber meget, I vil omtale i trykte medier og netmedier, men også være til stede på konferencedagen.

Venlig hilsen

The Danish National Committee for the
History and Philosophy of Science

Call for Papers for the Annual Conference 2011
Center of Science Studies,
Aarhus University, 13-14 December 2011

This year’s annual conference will consist of a thematic part and an open part for papers on all topics in the history and philosophy of science. Abstracts are welcome for both parts. The thematic part is open to all, whilst the open part is dedicated to the presentation and discussion of current PhD projects.

Thematic part:
Science and Politics at War: New Relations in the Post War Era

Scientists have contributed to both political power and warfare—and, in turn, have profited from them. The relationship between science and politics intensified considerably in the Cold War era. As the superpowers turned to science as a vehicle for increasing power and control in the global arena, scientists took on new roles as policy-makers and international relations experts in national administrations.

The relationship between science and politics was nurtured by the Cold War— and at the same time shaped the Cold War itself. Scientific fields profited from increased funding, but state science policies—and scientific internationalism— were also significantly affected. These changes raised new and controversial questions: To what extent should political institutions empower scientists and mandate decision-making? And to what extent should scientists give up standards of autonomous science and ambitions of a peaceful endeavour in favour of political power games? Even as the superpowers aggressively pursued closer interaction between science and politics, they put pressure on the allied states to adjust to the new demands of the Cold War science-politics-military nexus.

This conference will be dedicated to exploring aspects and examples of the science-politics relationship and investigating the role of science in national politics and international relations in the Cold War era. Invited speakers include Ronald E. Doel and Kristine C. Harper, Florida State University, Zuoyue Wang, California State Polytechnic University, and Nikolaj Petersen, Aarhus University.

The conference will be in English. Abstracts for conference contributions should be sent to Dr. Janet Martin-Nielsen (janet@ivs.au.dk) by 7 October 2011.

Key Note speakers --- Short Biographies:

John Pickstone founded the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University of Manchester, where he is now Wellcome Research Professor. He has published widely on modern medical history, including the history of cancer, mental health and recent English Health Services. His book Ways of Knowing: A New History of Science, Technology and Medicine (Manchester and Chicago, 2000 – and article in Isis, 2007) is an original attempt to cover the history of science, technology and medicine, emphasising different forms of practices -- a historiographical project he is extending towards communicative arts. Among his other recent publications are Madness, Medicine and Social History Essays in Honour of Roy Porter (Palgrave 2007), Surgeons, Manufacturers and Patient. A Transatlantic History of the Total Hip Replacement (with J. Anderson and F. Neary, Palgrave 2007) and The Modern Biological and Earth Sciences (vol 6 of the Cambridge History of Science, ed with Peter Bowler, 2009).

Ludmilla Jordanova is Professor in Modern History at King’s College, London. She has written widely about the cultural history of science and medicine, on gender and the family and on visual and material culture. She will be known to medical historians for important contributions such as Sexual Visions: Images of Gender in Science and Medicine between the Eighteenth and Twentieth Centuries, (University of Wisconsin Press 1989), Nature Displayed: Gender, Science and Medicine 1760-1820 (Longman 1999), and Defining Features: Scientific and Medical Portraits 1660-2000, (Reaktion Books 2000). She has also written the much used History in Practice (Arnold, 2000, 2nd edition 2006), and is currently completing a book which explores the role of visual and material culture in historical practice, entitled The Look of the Past, to be published by Cambridge University Press.

Nick Hopwood is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, where he runs a Wellcome Trust-funded programme that is reassessing the history of reproduction from antiquity to the present day. He is the author of Embryos in Wax (Whipple Museum, 2002), co-editor (with Soraya de Chadarevian) of Models (Stanford, 2004), co-author (with Tatjana Buklijas) of the online exhibition Making Visible Embryos (2008) and co-editor (with Simon Schaffer and Jim Secord) of Seriality and Scientific Objects in the Nineteenth Century (a special double issue of History of Science, 2010). He is currently finishing a book, Pictures of Evolution and Charges of Forgery, about the most controversial images in the history of science and why they became some of the most standard.
