Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad: reflexiones epistemológicas, éticas y políticas
Publicado por: Sebastian Montaña | Publicado en: Académica, Integrantes, Red ArgentinaEl curso “Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad: reflexiones epistemológicas, éticas y políticas” propone realizar una reflexión crítica sobre las prácticas científicas y tecnológicas. Ofrece complementar la formación académica en ciencias, agregando a la práctica una apertura reflexiva.
Se trata de pensar cuestiones que si bien no se problematizan explícitamente en las currículas, operan en el trasfondo como supuestos no discutidos.

Modelo Mundial Latinoamericano: alternativas actuales de desarrollo para la región
Publicado por: Sebastian Montaña | Publicado en: Académica, Eventos, Red ArgentinaLa UNCUYO se incorporará al Programa de Estudios sobre Pensamiento Latinoamericano en Ciencia, Tecnología y Desarrollo del MINCYT.
El próximo martes 7 de junio se realizará un Seminario sobre “El Modelo Mundial Latinoamericano: alternativas actuales de desarrollo para la región” en la que participarán autoridades del Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología de la Nación (MINCyT) junto al Dr Gilberto Gallopin y referentes locales en temática, junto al Rector de la UNCUYO Ing. Agr. Arturo Somoza.
En el evento se lanzará la constitución del Nodo UNCUYO del Programa de Estudios sobre el Pensamiento Latinoamericano en Ciencia, Tecnología y Desarrollo del MINCyT, cuyo objetivo central es recuperar la memoria histórica del pensamiento sobre ciencia, tecnología y desarrollo en la República Argentina y en América Latina. Se espera que esta reconstrucción permita aportar criterios para la formulación y evaluación de las políticas científicas y tecnológicas actuales.
Se trata de recuperar la tradición de científicos, tecnólogos y pensadores que, convencidos del potencial latinoamericano para alcanzar un desarrollo autónomo, plantearon nuevas propuestas para la vinculación entre ciencia, tecnología y desarrollo socioeconómico.
El caso paradigmático de esta tradición que se pretende recuperar está representado por aquel conjunto de científicos que entre 1950 y 1970 crearon lo que se conoció como la Escuela de Pensamiento Latinoamericano en Ciencia, Tecnología y Desarrollo. Este conjunto de científicos bregaron por la autonomía tecnológica, el desarrollo local y endógeno de la tecnología como base fundamental para desarrollo integral de las sociedades latinoamericanas. Han formado parte de esta Escuela científicos de la talla de Jorge A. Sábato, Helio Jaguaribe, Amílcar Herrera, José Pelucio Ferreira, Máximo Halty-Carrère, Carlos Martínez Vidal, entre otros.
El evento tendrá lugar en el Cilindro Central del CICUNC a partir de las 9:30 hs con un acto inaugural del Nodo UNCUYO, seguido de una conferencia magistral del Dr. Gallopín y un panel de especialistas que finalizará a las 13:30 hs. A partir de las 14:30hs se realizará un taller para identificar capacidades locales y objetivos a ser desarrollados por la UNCUYO en el marco del PLACTED. El programa detallado del encuentro se publicará en el sitio web www.uncu.edu.ar o puede ser solicitado a prospectiva@uncu.edu.ar a partir del próximo miércoles 1 de junio.
Pre-meeting to Plan the 2014 Joint 4S/ESOCITE Conference & Bilingual Edited Handbook of STS in Latin America
Publicado por: Sebastian Montaña | Publicado en: Académica, Convocatorias trabajos de investigación (CFP), Eventos, Red ArgentinaThe Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) has committed to reducing the geographical and intellectual barriers that have divided and at times isolated global Science, Technology and Society (STS) Studies communities. To this end, the 2014 4S annual conference is scheduled to take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina in conjunction with the annual meeting of its Latin American counterpart ESOCITE.
In anticipation of this joint conference, 4S has dedicated resources from its New Initiatives fund to support a gathering of representatives from 4S and ESOCITE during a pre-meeting in Buenos Aires, June 17-19, 2011. In addition to discussing conference logistics, themes and protocols, as well as potential conference sites, this North-South gathering of STS scholars will also begin developing a bilingual edited Handbook of STS in Latin America. The publication of the handbook will be timed as best as possible with the opening of the 2014 joint conference.
A written report and video documentary outlining the progress made on these two objectives will be presented to the 4S Council during the annual meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, November 2011.
For a more details and a list of attendees from 4S and ESOCITE, please go to http://www.4sonline.org/pages/spn_wks/the_state_of_latin_american_sts_editors
While attendance at this particular pre-meeting was based upon invitation only, you are welcome to join the dialogue on the STS in Latin America by sending a blank email message to 4sla+subscribe@googlegroups.com or visiting http://groups.google.com/group/4sla.
If you are interested in participating in future events of this cross regional STS project, attend one of our multiple Latin American-themed paper sessions at the next 4S annual meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, November 2014. We will be discussing the progress made in Buenos Aires (during our pre-meeting this June 2011) and what the next steps should be. We welcome your contributions during our pre and post session discussions, during coffee breaks or at our annual 4S Latin America section dinner, the Thursday evening of the conference.
If you feel this project and/or 4S section may have relevance for another scholarly community, you are welcome to re-post.

4S session on sustainable transition efforts
Publicado por: Gabriela Bortz | Publicado en: Eventos, Red Argentina“Strategies of Transition towards Green, Post Carbon Societies”
Deadline for abstract submission: April 1st, 2011
Convenors: Vivian A. Lagesen and Knut H. Sørensen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
Sociotechnical systems like energy systems are often understood as stable and difficult to transform. Concepts used to describe such inertia and the challenges to pursuing change include technological momentum (Hughes 1987), path dependency (David 1985), lock-in (Arthur 1988) and entrapment (Walker 2000). Such concepts seem to aptly characterise present energy systems quite well, making the achievement of sustainable energy transitions appear an overwhelming challenge. There is a need not only for new sustainability-producing technologies but also for actors to engage productively with these technologies through distributed action. No single actor, including government, is able to manage the challenges on its own.
Transition is a conception of a whole-sector, multi-level process producing dramatic and lasting changes in production and consumption patterns and practices. It therefore requires complex multi-level governance; it is not just a matter of injecting single technological innovations and expecting them to take off. In this session, we shall address analytically the challenges related to understanding sustainable transition efforts, drawing broadly on STS scholarship. The emphasis is on sociotechnical institutions (understood at all levels) that need reforming and may act as obstacles to transition, providing entrenchment, lock-in, political resistance, economic obstacles, inadequate infrastructure, etc. The aim is to contribute to STS-based transition theory development that also improves the understanding of what sustains current unsustainable practices.
