  1. Descolonizar la universidad.Achille Mbembe - 2023 - Medellín: Ennegativo Ediciones. Translated by Leandro Sánchez Marín.
    Las universidades de hoy son grandes sistemas de control autoritario, estandarización, gradación, contabilidad, clasificación, créditos y sanciones. Necesitamos descolonizar los sistemas de acceso y gestión en la medida en que han convertido la educación superior en un producto comercializable, clasificado, comprado y vendido por unidades estándar, medido, contado y reducido a equivalencia básica mediante pruebas mecánicas y, por lo tanto, fácilmente sujetas a consistencia estadística, con estándares y unidades numéricas. Tenemos que descolonizar esto porque disuade a estudiantes y profesores de (...)

  • Making worlds: epistemological, ontological and political dimensions of technoscience. [REVIEW]Jutta Weber - 2010 - Poiesis and Praxis 7 (1-2):17-36.
    This paper outlines some of the new epistemological and ontological assumptions of contemporary technoscience thereby reframing the question of an epochal break. Important aspects are the question of a new techno-rationality, but also the constitution of a ‘New World Order Inc.’, with its new ‘politics of life itself’, the reconfiguration of categories such as race, class and gender in technoscience, as well as the amalgamation of everyday life, technoscience and culture. Given the difficulties of ‘proving’ a new episteme (or even (...)

  • Subject objects.Lucy Suchman - 2011 - Feminist Theory 12 (2):119-145.
    The focus of my inquiry in this article is the figure of the Human that is enacted in the design of the humanoid robot. The humanoid or anthropomorphic robot is a model (in)organism, engineered in the roboticist’s laboratory in ways that both align with and diverge from the model organisms of biology. Like other model organisms, the laboratory robot’s life is inextricably infused with its inherited materialities and with the ongoing — or truncated — labours of its affiliated humans. But (...)

  • Animation and Automation – The Liveliness and Labours of Bodies and Machines.Lucy Suchman & Jackie Stacey - 2012 - Body and Society 18 (1):1-46.
    Written as the introduction to a special issue of Body & Society on the topic of animation and automation, this article considers the interrelation of those two terms through readings of relevant work in film studies and science and technology studies (STS), inflected through recent scholarship on the body. Drawing upon historical and contemporary examples, we trace how movement is taken as a sign of life, while living bodies are translated through the mechanisms of artifice. Whereas film studies has drawn (...)

  • Politics and ‘the digital’: From singularity to specificity.Julien Jeandesboz & Mareile Kaufmann - 2017 - European Journal of Social Theory 20 (3):309-328.
    The relationship between politics and the digital has largely been characterized as one of epochal change. The respective theories understand the digital as external to politics and society, as an autonomous driver for global, unilateral transformation. Rather than supporting such singular accounts of the relationship between politics and the digital, this article argues for its specificity: the digital is best examined in terms of folds within existing socio-technical configurations, and as an artefact with a set of affordances that are shaped (...)

  • What Knowers Know Well: Women, Work, and the Academy.Alison Wylie - 2011 - In Heidi E. Grasswick (ed.), Feminist Epistemology and Philosophy of Science. pp. 157-179.
    Research on the status and experience of women in academia in the last 30 years has challenged conventional explanations of persistent gender inequality, bringing into sharp focus the cumulative impact of small scale, often unintentional differences in recognition and response: the patterns of 'post-civil rights era' dis­crimination made famous by the 1999 report on the status of women in the MIT School of Science. I argue that feminist standpoint theory is a useful resource for understanding how this sea change in (...)

  • Social robots-emotional agents: Some remarks on naturalizing man-machine interaction.Barbara Becker - 2006 - International Review of Information Ethics 6:37-45.
    The construction of embodied conversational agents - robots as well as avatars - seem to be a new challenge in the field of both cognitive AI and human-computer-interface development. On the one hand, one aims at gaining new insights in the development of cognition and communication by constructing intelligent, physical instantiated artefacts. On the other hand people are driven by the idea, that humanlike mechanical dialog-partners will have a positive effect on human-machine-communication. In this contribution I put for discussion whether (...)
