SUMMARY:Fourth European Pragmatism Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth European Pragmatism Conference is taking place at University College London on August 3-5\, 2022. Together with Andrea Paravicini and Christian Frigerio (State University of Milan)\, Alin Olteanu and c:o/re fellow Erica Onnis are organizing a panel that means to challenge the theoretical dichotomisation of individual and collective by adopting several perspectives on complexity as salient in contemporary pragmatism. The panel is titled “Individual and collective: Pragmatist perspectives at the crossroads of metaphysics\, biology and semiotics” (see conference program).

SUMMARY:IDEA League Summer School: Trajectories of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Is development of technology driven by innovation and break through engineering or is technology development incremental resulting from long-term agenda setting\, road mapping processes\, social interaction? By taking a break and looking back into the history of crucial technologies\, path dependencies and decade-old trajectories can be observed. Beside the history and narrative of each singular technology development\, major trajectories of technology development can be observed. Thus\, looking back in time offers enlightening insights into future possibilities. \nThe interdisciplinary Summer School Trajectories of Technology seeks to understand the path dependencies of technology development and how much these trajectories constrain today’s technology development. It applies methods from Science and Technology Studies\, Innovation Studies\, as well as Technology Assessment to offer problem-oriented insights into the history of technology and engineering. In working groups\, we will analyze the mutual interdependence of specific technological developments. \nThe school is jointly organized by lecturers from RWTH Aachen University\, ETH Zurich\, Politecnico di Milano and guest speakers and will be held in 2022\, September 5th to 9th at Aachen. Please find the program here. \nThe Summer School takes place at the Stadtpalais Theaterstraße 75\, 52062 Aachen\, and RWTH Guest house Königshügel\, Melatenerstraße 31\, 52074 Aachen. The registration is closed.

SUMMARY:Hackathon: Communicating Science
DESCRIPTION:Science communication has been in the spotlight for quite some time\, not only against the\nbackground of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its importance for creating an informed public that trusts\nscience and scientific expertise has become apparent for science and politics alike. But where\nshould institutions and researchers begin? How can they decide which target audience to address?\nAnd which science communication formats or social media channels should they choose in order\nto reach their respective target group? \nThis event\, that c:o/re is organizing together with Wissenschaft im Dialog is designed to learn about science communication formats\, different target audiences and respective communication strategies\, with ample space for discussion and practical application. Experts in science communication will provide an introduction to different concepts\, objectives and developments. In different working groups\, the invited participants will focus on the creation of suitable science communication projects/formats. \nLink to program \nRegistration is closed

SUMMARY:Varieties of Science: Patterns of Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Workshop organized by\nc:o/re Aachen (RWTH Aachen University) & Seminario de Tecnologías Filosóficas (UNAM)\nResearch practices are embedded in particular economic\, political\, social and cultural contexts and perform these contexts more or less widely as well. Knowledge is always situated. If scientific research is directed toward solving particular collective problems\, it is bounded to the locality of the problems it seeks to answer to. Thus\, the plurality of contexts in which science is produced has to be seen as constitutive for the methods and topics as well as the forms of scientific knowledge that can emerge. Postcolonial epistemic practices\, critical race theory and feminist approaches to science and technology are some of the forms in which the objectivity of knowledge has been put into question\, they have questioned what does it mean to talk about locality or situatedness at all. Thus\, it is now impossible to approach the question of objectivity whiteout considering the position of enunciation or the particular practices of knowledge production where sciences and technology are developed. This already diverse constellation of contexts has become even more complex given the conditions of the digitalization of science and the global scale of its production. How to account for that plurality of contexts without falling into the kind of relativism that would make a conversation between different epistemic contexts impossible? \nIf diversity seems to be the constant\, what can we learn from mapping out the plural\, cultural-institutional bound approaches to knowledge production? Are there common goals and expectations of such different localities of knowledge? How far-reaching are the differences between such localities of knowledge and what do they mean regarding our understanding of knowledge production? This workshop focuses on the kind of categories and conceptual frameworks that might be necessary to render visible the complex patterns of relations in which the plurality of knowledge emerges. It aims to find epistemic\, economic\, political and sociological approaches to the plurality of scientific knowledge and its particular situations. The workshop seeks to bring together different scales\, and disciplinary views\, as well as global and local perspectives in order to trace the commonalities of the heterogeneous fields of (scientific) knowledge production. \nWith contributions by \nFrancisco Barrón\, Stefan Böschen\, Nina Frahm\, Ana Maria Guzmán\, Josafat Hernández\, Dawid Kasprowicz\, Alin Olteanu\, Miriam Peña\, Phillip H. Roth\, Kasper Schiølin\, Christian Ulrik-Andersen\, Pablo Velasco\n \nThe full program can be found here. \nThis event can be followed on Youtube. Link for the transmission on the 5th of Dec.:  https://youtu.be/qpLuVSz5gCs Link for the transmission on the 6th of Dec.: https://youtu.be/18EJEiIX1vQ \nIf you wish to attend on zoom\, please send us an email to events@khk.rwth-aachen.de  \nThis workshop is the first edition of our series “Varieties of Science” which seeks to start conversation about the plurality of scientific knowledge with a focus on non-european contexts. \n___ \nTaller organizado por\nc:o/re Aachen (RWTH Aachen University) & Seminario de Tecnologías Filosóficas (UNAM)\nLas prácticas de investigación se inscriben en contextos económicos\, políticos\, sociales y culturales determinados\, estas prácticas particulares también ponen esos contextos en operación de manera más o menos amplia. El conocimiento siempre está situado. Si la investigación científica se orienta hacia la resolución de problemas colectivos concretos\, está unida a localidad de los problemas a los que pretende dar respuesta. Así pues\, la pluralidad de contextos en los que se produce la ciencia ha de considerarse constitutiva de los métodos y temas\, así como de las formas de conocimiento científico que pueden surgir. Las prácticas epistémicas poscoloniales\, la critical race theory y los enfoques feministas de la ciencia y la tecnología son algunas de las formas en las que se ha puesto en cuestión la idea de la objetividad del conocimiento\, se ha puesto en cuestión\, qué significa si quiere hablar de prácticas localizadas o situadas. Así\, ahora es imposible abordar la cuestión de la objetividad sin tener en cuenta la posición de enunciación o las prácticas particulares de producción de conocimiento en las que se desarrollan las ciencias y la tecnología. Esta constelación de contextos\, ya de por sí diversa\, se ha vuelto aún más compleja dadas las condiciones de la digitalización de la ciencia y la escala global de su producción. ¿Cómo dar cuenta de esa pluralidad de contextos sin caer en el tipo de relativismo que haría imposible una conversación entre diferentes contextos epistémicos? \nSi la diversidad parece ser la constante\, ¿qué podemos aprender de la cartografía de los enfoques plurales\, vinculados a la cultura e instituciones\, de la producción de conocimiento? ¿Existen objetivos y expectativas comunes de localidades de conocimiento tan diferentes? ¿Qué alcance tienen las diferencias entre esas localidades del conocimiento y qué significan en relación con nuestra comprensión de la producción de conocimiento científico? Este taller se centra en el tipo de categorías y marcos conceptuales que podrían ser necesarios para hacer visibles los complejos patrones de relaciones en los que surge la pluralidad del conocimiento. Su objetivo es encontrar enfoques epistémicos\, económicos\, políticos y sociológicos para penar la pluralidad del conocimiento y sus situaciones particulares. El taller pretende reunir diferentes escalas y puntos de vista disciplinarios\, así como perspectivas globales y locales\, con el fin de rastrear los puntos comunes de los heterogéneos campos de producción de conocimiento (científico). \nCon contribuciones de: \nFrancisco Barrón\, Stefan Böschen\, Nina Frahm\, Ana Maria Guzmán\, Josafat Hernández\, Dawid Kasprowicz\, Alin Olteanu\, Miriam Peña\, Phillip H. Roth\, Kasper Schiølin\, Christian Ulrik-Andersen\, Pablo Velasco \nAquí se puede consultar el programa. \nEl evento será transmmitio en youtube. Enlace para la transmisión el 5 de diciembre:  https://youtu.be/qpLuVSz5gCs Enlace para la transmisión el 6 de diciembre: https://youtu.be/18EJEiIX1vQ \nSi deseas participar en el evento en zoom\, por favor\, envíanos un email a events@khk.rwth-aachen.de  \nEste taller es la primera edición de la serie “Variedades de la ciencia”\, la cual busca empezar una conversacion sobre la pluralidad del conocimiento científico enfocada en contextos no europeos. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:STS Hub. Towards encounters amongst STS scholars in Germany
DESCRIPTION:Science & Technology Studies (STS) has become a recognised\, delineated academic field in the international research landscape. In Germany\, however\, STS is rather dispersed among existing academic disciplines\, research institutes\, and loosely connected academic networks and associations. To strengthen the interconnectedness of STS in Germany\, c:o/re co-organizes STS-hub.de\, a conference series that brings together German organisations\, labs\, and research groups that are more or less closely related to STS. Please find a preliminary program and an overview of already participating groups\, organisations\, and networks here.

SUMMARY:Instability and Complexity. On the Emergence of Late-Modern Science - Jan C. Schmidt
DESCRIPTION:“Instability and Complexity. On the Emergence of Late-Modern Science” by  Jan C. Schmidt (Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences) \nAbstract\nIn my talk\, I distinguish between compositional and dynamical complexity – in order to focus on the latter from the perspective of complex systems theory. Complex systems theory\, including nonlinear dynamics\, chaos-\, self-organization- and catastrophe theory\, fractal geometry\, synergetics and dissipative structures is a fascinating field of scientific inquiry that spans many established disciplines. However\, it poses challenging problems for scientific methodology as well as cultural guiding metaphysical assumptions\, e.g.\, predictability\, reproducibility\, testability and describability/explainability. The common denominator of all of these challenges is instability — that is the main thesis. On the other hand\, instabilities are not seen only in the negative sense. They turn out as a relevant factor of dynamical complexity and\, in particular\, as a source of growth\, self-organization\, pattern formation and of biological life. However\, instability has long been neglected in the history of science. The talk will reconstruct the vibrant history of instability and show how the “dogma of stability” was replaced in the 20th century by a different view of nature and the sciences that includes instabilities – and thus\, acknowledges dynamic complexity. This gradual shift within the culture of the sciences and the emergence of a new-late modern regime will be addressed. The late-modern regime does not replace the traditional\, classical-modern regime\, but complements and extends it. \nJan Cornelius Schmidt is physicist (Ph.D.) and philosopher (Habilitation). Since 2008 he has been Professor of Philosophy of Science and Technology at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Previously\, he was junior researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Physics\, Mainz\, as well as at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Technology\, Darmstadt\, and Associate Professor for Philosophy of Technology at Georgia Tech\, Atlanta. He was invited Guest and Stand-In-Professor at Universities in Jena\, Klagenfurt and Vienna. Schmidt serves on the scientific advisory board of the Transdisciplinarity Net\, Swiss Academies of Sciences\, Berne\, and he is member of the scientific advisory board of the Journal for Technology Assessment in Theory and Practice. His research interests encompass philosophy and history of science and technology; science and technology studies; technology assessment; science\, engineering and sustainability ethics; concepts of inter- and transdisciplinarity; and complex systems\, nonlinear dynamics\, chaos and self-organization theories. \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series Complexity.

SUMMARY:European Traditions of Philosophy of Science: Unexpected Varieties
DESCRIPTION:Workshop organized by \nc:o/re\, Aachen University & Dr. Andrei Mărășoiu \nTo understand the context-sensitive justificatory practices at work in scientific pursuits\, an understanding of research cultures and the variation therein is necessary. In this light\, this workshop addresses the interaction between logic and metaphysical models in scientific practices and social and cultural approaches to these practices. \nIn criticism of Western-centric or Eurocentric tendencies in the sociology and historiography of science\, we aim to better evince the many varieties of knowledge by focusing on certain regional philosophical schools within the European continent. By exploring local pluralities of knowledge production\, we aim to reflect on the usefulness or irrelevance of distinctions between Western\, Central and Eastern European philosophy. \nA currently important debate where knowledge systems may display their different metaphysical underpinnings revolves around articulating the idea of formal resources needed to lay the foundations of the scientific enterprise. By tackling such concerns\, the workshop is poised to join historians\, philosophers\, and sociologists of science\, representing distinct schools of thought\, to reflect on epistemic practices and current trends in the philosophy and sociology of science. \nThe event will be hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bucharest  \nFull Program can be found here. \nThis Workshop is part of c:o/re Series Varieties of Science \n \n

SUMMARY:Complexity – From Natural and Social Sciences to Artificial Intelligence - Klaus Mainzer
DESCRIPTION:“Complexity – From Natural and Social Sciences to Artificial Intelligence” – Klaus Mainzer (TU Munich). \nAbstract: \nAccording to several prominent authors\, including Stephen Hawking\, a main part of 21st century science will be on complexity research. The intuitive idea is that global patterns and structures emerge from locally interacting elements like atoms in laser beams\, molecules in chemical reactions\, proteins in cells\, cells in organs\, neurons in brains\, transistors in electronic systems etc. (Mainzer 2007). Complex pattern formation has been reported from many disciplines (e.g.\,  physics\, chemistry\, biology\, brain research\, engineering). The causes of complex pattern formation have been analyzed from various perspectives such as Schrödinger’s (1948) order from disorder\, Prigogine’s (1980) dissipative structure\, Haken’s (1983) synergetics\, Langton’s (1990) edge of chaos etc. But concepts of complexity are often based on examples or metaphors only. We argue for a mathematically precise and rigorous definition of local activity as the cause of complex pattern formation which can be tested in natural as well as technical sciences by constructive methods. \nRecently\, these results of complexity research have become important for machine learning of AI (artificial intelligence) systems (e.g.\, neural networks\, cognitive AI-systems\, robots). Instead of complex pattern formation in nature\, complex pattern recognition of AI-systems is considered which is modeled in statistical learning theory. But statistical correlations of data cannot replace causal explanations of events. Algorithms of causal learning are necessary to detect causal models behind the statistical distributions of data. Causal learning would be a first step from weak AI with probabilistic learning to strong AI. \nReferences: K. Mainzer\, Thinking in Complexity\, Springer: Berlin 5th edition 2007; K. Mainzer/L. Chua\, Local Activity Principle. The Cause of Complexity\, World Scientific Singapore 2013; K. Mainzer\, Artificial Intelligence. When do Machines take over? Springer: Berlin 2nd edition 2019; K. Mainzer/ R. Kahle\, Grenzen der Künstlichen Intelligenz – theoretisch\, praktisch\, ethisch\, Springer. Berlin 2022. \nKlaus Mainzer is professor emeritus at the Technical University Munich of the School of Social Sciences and Technology. While obtaining a PhD in the philosophy of the basics of mathematics\, more precisely constructive and algorithmically grounded procedures\, he habilitated on their application in geometry and physics. He is a member of The Academy of Europe (Academy Europaea)/London\, the European Academy of Science and Arts\, the German Academy of Science of Technology\, president of the German-Japanese Society for Integrative Science and board member of the Udo Keller Stiftung (Hamburg). From the vantage point of contemplating the computability of the world\, he works as a science philosopher of the foundations and future perspectives of science and technology and as a complexity researcher focussed on complex systems in nature\, technology\, economy and society\, as well as the foundations of AI and Big Data. His research seeks for constructively founded solutions\, methods and evidentiary procedures which allow to control the algorithmization and digitalization of technology and society. \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series “Complexity“.

SUMMARY:A Philosophy of Artscience: Something Old\, Something Novel - Clarissa Lee
DESCRIPTION:“A Philosophy of Artscience: Something Old\, Something Novel” by Clarissa Lee (transdisciplinary researcher\, c:o/re Aachen). \nAbstract: \nThis talk explores how one could develop and apprehend a philosophically intuited syzygy that is art and science\, giving way to art-science and artscience (without the hyphen). However\, this is not merely about what philosophy could do for artscience (the un-hyphenated version is the speaker’s preferred choice for reasons to be explained in the talk)\, but also untangles and highlights the simultaneous (and comparative) philosophical arguments that invariably\, even if not intentionally\, exert the co-existence of art-like (filtered through aesthetics) and science-like (filtered through cognitive acts of logic) subjects in epistemological discussions that often reinforce reductive representations of art and science. This talk traces the philosophy of artscience as it transports from fledgling theoretical constructs on ways of knowing and making knowledge to the recuperation of knowledge practices marginalized by the ‘over-professionalization’ of disciplines that led to the dehistoricization and decontextualization of contemporary technoscientifc knowledge\, while disrupting the chain of evidence following the tracks of such knowledge over space\, time\, and culture. This talk will also promulgate philosophy of artscience as a method for research and creative interventions within Science and Technology Studies + Art through some choice examples. \nClarissa Ai Ling Lee was a senior lecturer with the Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Malaya\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia\, with research specialization at the intersection of performance studies\, design studies\, science and technology studies\, cultural studies\, and digital media studies. Previously she has held research positions at the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies at the National University of Malaysia (UKM)\, the Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development and Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia\, both at Sunway University Malaysia. She has researched and published on diverse topics in STS ranging from Malaysia’s history in the physical/nuclear sciences\, participatory-speculative design in policy development\, digital infrastructures and social hacking\, as well as epistemologies of artscience. She is presently working on her monograph\, Speculative Technoscience\, that proposes a review of scientific epistemology of the global south through the mediating concept of ‘science-like’ knowledge as contextualized by artscience and queer epistemologies. \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series “Complexity“.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence: The Brand That Wouldn’t Die. A lecture by Professor Thomas Haigh
DESCRIPTION:The history of AI is the history of an overhyped brand that has only very recently come to signify a set of deployable technologies with broad application and clear\, if somewhat horrifying\, purposes. Over almost seventy years it’s been attached to a range of loosely related projects\, none of which have yet come close to delivering on the promise of creating computer systems with human-like intelligence. One insider characterized the story of AI as “the history of failed ideas.” Yet in the process of failing\, early AI researchers made vital but incidental contributions to the development of computer technology and computer science. In this talk I’ll ask where did discussion of artificial intelligence come from\, why was it so attractive to researchers and sponsors\, and what did the lofty rhetoric of machine intelligence have to do with the actual practice of artificial intelligence as it institutionalized through research labs\, curricula\, textbooks\, and professional associations? I’ll also look for continuities and discontinuities between our own moment and earlier cycles of AI hype and disillusionment. \nThomas Haigh\, PhD is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Comenius Visiting Professor of the History of Computing at Siegen University. He has published on many aspects of the history of computing including the evolution of data base management systems\, word processing\, the software package\, corporate computer departments\, Internet software\, computing in science fiction\, the “software crisis” of the 1960s\, IBM in Europe\, and the Colossus code breaking machines.

SUMMARY:Exposures\, Photographic and Otherwise: Complex Encounters with Toxicity - Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Exposures\, Photographic and Otherwise: Complex Encounters with Toxicity – Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou. \nAbstract: \n“Exposure\,” as a term\, freely flows in different contexts\, from environmentalist and activist circles to scientific and medical discourse. Levels of exposure—to radiation\, to lead\, to asbestos\, and beyond—are deemed safe or unsafe by shifting regulatory frameworks. And more often than not\, these levels are “terribly uneven” in their social distribution (Alaimo 2010). In the practice of photography\, exposure precedes the revelation of the image—it registers on the negative an image that is latent. Photographic and toxic exposures unexpectedly came together in uranium mines in the 1960s and 1970s\, when workers used photographic film to measure levels of exposure to radon (Hecht 2012; van Wyck 2010). This talk moves through intersecting meanings of “exposure” in an attempt to think together figures that usually sit apart: the photographer and the miner. \nDr. Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou is a historian of modern and contemporary art\, specializing in the relationship between art and science with an emphasis on nuclear technologies. Her interdisciplinary scholarship\, at the intersection of art history and the environmental humanities\, engages nuclear aesthetics\, the visual culture of extraction\, and material histories of art and the environment. She was awarded her PhD from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\, Paris in 2021\, supported by an Onassis Foundation scholarship\, with a dissertation entitled Dwelling\, Extracting\, Burying: Nuclear Imaginaries in Contemporary Art (1970-2020). She is an affiliate researcher at the Centre Georg Simmel\, EHESS\, Paris. She has held visiting fellowships in environmental humanities centres at Carleton University\, Ottawa (2018) and VU University\, Amsterdam (2019) and was a curatorial fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (2020-21). Currently\, she is working on an exhibition about the atomic age at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris (fall 2024). \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series “Complexity”.

SUMMARY:Complexity beteween hype and history - Arianna Borrelli
DESCRIPTION:“Complexity beteween hype and history” by Arianna Borrelli (TU Berlin). \nAbstract: \nSpeaking about the history of computing\, Michael Mahoney stated  that “hype hides history” (2005) and\, indeed\, the same could be said of the history of complexity. Between the 1980s and the early ’90s the study of complex systems and related areas (deterministic chaos\, nonlinear systems) established itself as a new disciplinary field\, and did so amid a sweeping wave of consensus that this development represented both a breakthrough for and an epochal break in the sciences. These claims originated from the academic community\, but reached well beyond it and were supported and expanded by successful popular science books published at the same time as the first scientific journals devoted to the new field appeared. Both academic and popular discussions supported the claims of novelty by offering reconstructions of the history of the field rich in stories of forgotten classics\, chance discoveries and parallel developments which suddenly converged. Hype and history were closely bound right from the beginning and\, rather than attempting to unravel them\, in my presentation I will take a closed look at the way in which earlier and later historiography might have shaped the complexity hype\, and possibly the notion of complexity itself. \nArianna Borrelli is a historian and philosopher of natural philosophy and modern science. Her overarching research interest is the relationship between scientific knowing and the strategies employed to mediate it\, like words\, images\, formulas or code. Her fields of research include medieval cosmology\, early modern meteorology\, natural magic and quantum physics\, with current work focusing on the historical-epistemological premises and implications of the increasing use of computational tools in science. She holds degrees in both physics and philosophy and a PhD and habilitation in history of science\, the latter with the thesis: Formulating phenomena: concept formation and the materiality of theory in the early modern and modern period (TU Berlin 2018). Borrelli held research positions in physics (Rome\, CERN) and in history and philosophy of science (MPIWG\, Wuppertal\, TU Berlin\, Lüneburg). She is currently President-Elect of the Commission on History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC). \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series “Complexity“.

SUMMARY:Lecture and discussion with Phil MacNaghten: The knowledge politics of making anticipatory knowledge
DESCRIPTION:How can we engage with futures that are by definition uncertain and unknowable? How can we democratise the making of anticipative knowledge? How can we use such knowledge to contest\, if necessary\, the futures that are inscribed in techno-visionary science? Adopting a science and technology studies perspective\, a public engagement methodology is presented aimed at anticipating the kinds of possible and plausible worlds that novel science and technology bring into being. Drawing on empirical social science research projects using focus groups\, design criteria are explicated on context\, framing\, moderation\, sampling\, analysis and interpretation. A feature of the methodology lies in the assembly of emergent collectives and identities that are constituted to negotiate endogenously public meanings\, concerns and priorities. I reflect on the potential of such processes to reconfigure dominant policy narratives\, the role of the social scientist in mediating such processes and the politics of making anticipatory knowledge. \nThis event is part of the 5th STS-Forum at RWTH Aachen University.
