Natasha Myers, plant feelings, and the internal language of science
Published:
As much as I complain about Twitter (and as I finally, after years, get a better hang of the site I do it less), it brings me some wonderful stuff, particularly along academic and activist lines. The following came across my feed a week or so ago about teaching a course in STS.
The Social Production of “Local Knowledge”
Published:
A couple months ago I tweeted about a dissertation epiphany that I’d had after a rare full night’s sleep.
The New York Times does Bruno Latour, part 1: Why we should care about STS
Published:
So the New York Times has published a long form article by Ava Kofman on Bruno Latour and his forthcoming book on climate change science, and, well, all of Latour’s range of stuff.
Encountering Iris Marion Young’s critique of community
Published:
A mailing list for a research network which I’m a member of recently passed around Iris Marion Young’s “The Ideal of Community and the Politics of Difference,” and I tagged it to read (kind of a thing for me, as one of my major questions revolves around what exactly community is). Having managed one blog post for the first time in years, I thought I might jump in and do another one, this time a good bit more theoretical and academic.
Tourist cairns and the materiality of symbolic ownership
Published:
Calum Macleod just wrote a fascinating blog post about the phenomenon of tourists building rock cairns at the ‘Fairy Glen’ in northern Skye, and the actions of annoyed residents who went and disassembled them. I don’t have a huge amount to add to his thoughts – particularly as I try to get back into the swing of this blogging thing – but as Dr. Macleod highlights, the connections to the notion of ownership as currently contested in rural Scotland seem particularly relevant.
