The Accountability of Scientific and Medical Practices |
|
Plenary Speaker:Elizabeth
|
SLS 2001 will focus upon the production of accounts, histories, narratives, images, diagrams, tabulations (vote counts?), their circulation and interpretation in a world of discourse networks, software agents, and hybrid actants; laboratories, pharmacies, and clinics; soft bodies and hard data. And, equally, the accountability of cultural subjects as ethical agents negotiating discourses of gender and ethnicity, money and class, and the authority of technological, medical, and biological explanation. Proposals addressing these issues, and others as well, are welcome. |
