CFP: Consumer Technology/Technologies de consommation

**Call for Papers**

Scientia Canadensis invites interested scholars to submit proposals for research papers (approximately 7,500 to 10,000 words), research notes or exhibition reviews (approximately 2,500 to 5,000 words) for a special themed issue on Consumer Technology.

From automobiles to automated messages, personal technologies have come to shape the daily lives of nearly all Canadians. The history of consumer technology can reveal much about the material needs, social ideologies, gendered assumptions, and economic considerations of the peoples who used, rejected, and manipulated technologies of consumption. Why have Canadians favoured some technologies over others? Why (and when) do technologies fail? How have personal technologies influenced notions of work? Leisure? Masculinity? Femininity? Public space? Private space? What has been valued more — aesthetics or function? We invite proposals that consider these types of questions or deal with any aspect of consumer technology, including, but not limited to:

- Domestic goods: kitchen appliances, frozen foods, lighting fixtures, laundering technologies, sewing machines, barbeques, or even, entire homes;

- Gendered goods: lipstick, birth control pills, bras, power tools, condoms;

- Personal goods: telephones, personal computers, debit and credit cards, automobiles, cameras, bicycles

We also welcome submissions from students of museum studies or museum curators who have worked on or are working on special exhibits about consumer technology; these can include either temporary or permanent exhibitions that relate to consumer technology in Canada. Authors of exhibition reviews should include information on the concept and design of the exhibit, as well as its reception, if possible, while framing the discussion in relation to scholarship in the field. While Canada is our geographic focus, submissions that examine Canada in a comparative context would be very welcome.

Submissions should be in MS word format (.doc or .docx) with footnotes in University of Chicago humanities style, and should be accompanied by a detailed abstract no more than 250 words, as well as the author’s curriculum vitae. This special issue is scheduled to appear in print in winter 2012.

Please send all proposals electronically by June 1, 2012, to the guest editor, Dr. Dorotea Gucciardo, University of Western Ontario (dguccia@uwo.ca) and the journal editor, Dr. James Hull (james.hull@ubc.ca). Inquires as to the suitability of an article topic are welcome and may be directed to Dr. Gucciardo.

Scientia is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the history of science, technology, and medicine in publication since 1981, and includes specialized articles written by experts, notes about current research, critical book reviews, and bibliographies.
**Appel à communications**

Scientia Canadensis lance un appel de textes, sous forme d’articles (de 7500 à 10 000 mots), de notes de recherche ou de critiques d’expositions muséales (de 2500 mots à 5000 mots) et portant sur le thème des « technologies de consommation ».

De l’automobile à la messagerie automatique, les technologies de consommation personnelle ont façonné le quotidien des Canadiens. Leur histoire peut éclairer les besoins matériels, les idéologies, les présupposés de genre et les considérations économiques des gens qui utilisent, rejettent et manipulent ces technologies. Pourquoi les Canadiens ont-ils favorisé certaines technologies plutôt que d’autres ? Pourquoi, dans quelles conditions et à quel moment certaines technologies ont-elles été connu l’échec ? Comment les technologies à usage personnel ont-elles influencé les idées de travail, de loisir, de masculinité ou de féminité, ou encore d’espace public ou privé ? Qu’est-ce qui, de l’esthétique ou de la fonctionnalité de ces biens de consommation, à pesé le plus lourd dans la balance ? Nous sollicitons des propositions qui abordent ces questions ou qui traitent d’autres aspects de l’histoire des technologies de consommation personnelle, dont :

- les technologies domestiques (appareils électroménagers, aliments congelés, barbecues, machines à coudre, ou même des maisons entières) ;

- les biens de consommation genrés (rouges à lèvres, pilules contraceptives, outils électriques, préservatifs) ;

- les objets à usage personnel (téléphones, ordinateurs, cartes de débit ou de crédit, automobiles, caméras, bicyclettes).

Nous encourageons également les propositions d’étudiants en muséologie ou de conservateurs de musée ayant travaillé ou qui travaillent sur des expositions portant spécifiquement sur les technologies personnelles et les technologies de consommation au Canada. Les critiques d’exposition devraient offrir de l’information sur le concept et le design de l’exposition, et si possible sur sa réception, tout en situant l’exposition dans l’historiographie des rapports entre technologie et société. Même si l’appel de textes priorise l’espace géographique canadien, nous encourageons les contributions qui abordent le Canada sous un angle comparatif.

Les propositions doivent être transmises en format MS Word standard (.doc ou .docx), avec des notes de bas de page en format University of Chicago. Le texte doit être accompagné d’un résumé d’au plus 250 mots et du curriculum vitae de l’auteur. Le numéro sera publié en à la fin de l’année 2012.

Pour plus d’information ou pour soumettre un manuscrit, veuillez contacter la responsable du numéro spécial, Dr Dorotea Gucciardo de l’Université Western Ontario (dguccia@uwo.ca), ainsi que le rédacteur en chef de la revue, le professeur James Hull de l’Université de Colombie-Britannique (james.hull@ubc.ca). Les propositions devraient être transmises par voie électronique avant le 1er juin 2012.

Scientia Canadensis est une revue savante consacrée à l’histoire de la science, de la technologie et de la médecine. Elle publie depuis 1981 des articles spécialisés sur ces sujets ainsi que des notes de recherche, des essais critiques, des comptes rendus d’ouvrages et des bibliographies.

Conference: Science and Method in the Humanities

Science and Method in the Humanities

3/2/12, abstracts due 11/1/11

Rutgers University announces “Science and Method in the Humanities,” an interdisciplinary graduate symposium to be held on March 2, 2012, with keynote speakers Peter Dear (Cornell University) and Barbara Herrnstein Smith (Duke University, Brown University).

The aim of the conference is to explore questions of method and methodology in the sciences and in humanities scholarship that engages the sciences. This one-day event will bring together scholars working across that curricular divide for an interdisciplinary discussion of science and method, ranging from the historical development of scientific methods and their various historical re-articulations to broader concerns of methodology across the humanities.

How does interdisciplinary scholarship reframe questions of methodology, broadly construed? How is method variously understood and how are its formulations shaped by historical, theoretical, and disciplinary concerns? How does method relate to matters of fact and theory? How do humanities disciplines appropriate and modify particular scientific methods?

Related themes/topics may include (but are not limited to):

  • Scientific methods and the history of science
  • Methodology, disciplinary history, and the professionalization of the humanities
  • Method and form, genres of scientific knowledge, aesthetics of science, or as science
  • Inscription and writing: media, authority, translation, referentiality
  • Elements of method: hypothesis, collaboration, witnessing, objectivity
  • Historical method: induction, deduction, experimentation
  • Philosophy and the Analytic/Continental divide
  • Vitalism in the sciences and in critical theory
  • The afterlives of positivism
  • The “cognitive revolution” and the humanities
  • The curriculum and the “two cultures” debate
  • Science Studies/STS, Actor Network Theory, and historical study
  • Vernacular Science and Mobile Technologies
  • Digital humanities: computation, quantitative analysis, electronic publishing and peer review

Please send 400-500-word abstracts to Lizzie Oldfather (lizzie.oldfather@gmail.com) by November 1, 2011.

Sponsored by: Rutgers British Studies Center, Program in the History of Science, Technology, Environment and Health, Center for Cultural Analysis, Program in Early Modern Studies.

AHRC Collaborative PhD Studentship in the History of Science at the University of Leeds

>
> An AHRC-funded PhD studentship is available from 1 October 2011 for a collaborative research project between the Centre for the History and Philosophy of Science, University of Leeds and the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.
>
>
> ‘Gunpowder and the Rise of Early Modern Science’
>
> It is widely recognized that the emerging science of the seventeenth century demanded reciprocal interaction between theory and practice. Yet the fusion of scientific theory and military practice during the early modern era has attracted surprisingly little scholarly attention. This project will investigate the relationship between early modern science and gunpowder technology. What kinds of interactions took place between experimental philosophers and skilled craftsmen who had a shared interest in gunpowder technology? How did this relationship play out in complex historical reality? Why was gunpowder at the centre of a number of heated debates among the founder members of the Royal Society? Historical analysis will be aided by replication of gunpowder experiments and craft practices, drawing on the Royal Armouries’ technical and safety expertise. Through a focus on gunpowder technology, this project will yield important new insights into the relationship between theoretical abstraction and practical application as it features in early modern experimental science.
>
> Applications are invited from students in a variety of disciplines, e.g. history of science and technology, military history, economic history, experimental archaeology, intellectual history, and museum studies. We are looking to recruit a highly promising student who will relish the unique opportunities this award offers.
>
> The project will be supervised by a team comprising Dr Sophie Weeks (main supervisor), Dr Steven Walton, Professor Graeme Gooday, Dr Chris Kenny, Mr Graeme Rimer (Academic Director of the Royal Armouries) and Mr Peter Smithurst (Emeritus Curator of Historical Firearms at the Royal Armouries).
>
> The project student is expected to help with reorganization of the Royal Armouries’ significant reference collection of small arms ammunition, to create an online exhibit promoting its use, and to contribute to its online and printed historical outreach sources. For information about the Royal Armouries in Leeds visit http://www.royalarmouries.org/visit-us/leeds.
>
>
> Studentship Information
>
> The studentship is tenable for up to 3 years (full-time) or up to 5 years (part-time) from 1 October 2011. Renewal of the studentship each year is subject to satisfactory academic progress.
