[Martina Erlemann]

Dear colleagues,

on basis of our new project "genderDynamics. Professional Cultures and
Research Organizations in Physics" we have submitted an open panel on
Embodiment and Materiality in Ethnography for the 4S in San Diego
(http://www.4sonline.org/meeting).
May be some of you are interested to submit a paper for the panel. We
would be very pleased.
It is panel No. 29 in the open panel list. Deadline is March 17th.

All the best from Berlin,

Panel Abstract:

Revisiting Embodiment and Materiality in Ethnography of Sciences and
Technologies

Ethnographies are among the commonly used approaches within STS. At the
beginning ethnographies such as by Knorr Cetina, Lynch and others as well
as the cultural anthropological approach by Traweek investigated
scientific disciplines that are enacted in laboratories or in experimental
machineries. Meanwhile the methodological and theoretical approaches have
been broadened to a wide spectrum of ethnographies ranging from focused
short-time to multi-sited ethnographies. With this panel we want to bring
together ethnographies within STS that reflect aspects of embodiment and
materiality in the socio-material entanglements of epistemic practices.
Embodiment and materiality are discussed within recent STS research, in
particular in feminist studies of science and technology where reflexive
and interactive accounts of ethnographies have been developed. Among many
issues these approaches reflect upon the situatedness of the ethnographer
and the relationship between observers and actors being observed within
the ethnographic setting. For instance, it can be asked for the
consequences that arise when the field under scrutiny might be close to
the investigator's own academic background. Others have discussed the
relations of the researcher and the materialities in the lab as
socio-material entanglements. Here the question is raised how this plays
out in data-driven techno-sciences where materiality is not an issue at
first hand. In particular we want to focus on the following themes and
questions: What role does the embodiment of the observer and of the actors
being observed play in ethnographic settings? How do socio-material
entanglements in different fields of study (lab sciences, data-driven
sciences, etc.) differ? How can embodiment and/or materiality be
conceptualized in interactive and/or reflective approaches of ethnography?
How may embodiment and socio-material entanglements be addressed
methodologically in these settings? Invited are theoretical and
methodological reflections as well as empirical ethnographic studies that
connect to the issues of embodiment and/or materiality.

Please submit your abstract electronically via the webpage of the
conference Submission-platform:

Materiality in Ethnography of Sciences and Technologies".

Dear all
Great idea Martina. Unfortunately I am not able to go to 4S (or Göteborg)) this year. I look forward to hear more about the panel, though...
Many greetings Cathrine
