[Air-L] [Call for Chapters] Arrangements of Power :: Abstracts Due January 1, 2024

[Alice Fox]

Hello everyone!

I am pleased to send out this call for contributing chapters for the
Philosophy of Engineering & Technology series from Springer Press.

After each session, the Society for the Philosophy of Technology (SPT)
generates a volume featuring the Lifetime Achievement Award winner. For
2023, the winner was Langdon Winner.

Myself and Dr. Darryl Cressman (Maastricht) will be receiving submissions
and editing the collection called *Arrangments of Power: Traving Langdon
Winner's Legacy Within and Beyond the Philosophy of Technology*.

Please see the details below and don't hesitate to respond to this email or
to fox31 at stanford.edu with additional questions.

Best,

Alice

-----------------------

During the 2023 meeting for the Society of the Philosophy of Technology
(SPT), Langdon Winner was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award for
his extensive work and contributions surrounding the philosophy of
technology. To celebrate this achievement, Springer Press will publish an
essay collection inspired by Langdon Winner's work.


As the title indicates, Winner challenged philosophers, social scientists,
and political theorists to reconsider the neutrality of artifacts and the
traditional notion of politics. His work examining the persuasive and
influential nature of artifacts and social orders continues to help
students, new and old, to reimagine these relationships as complex melodies
of socio-political negotiations. By rendering these tensions visible,
Winner formats politics as arrangements of power and provides an opening
for others to remix the status quo.

For this volume, we want to represent the breadth of Winner’s influence,
both in content and length of time. In this sense, we are particularly
interested in featuring scholarship that hails not only from philosophy,
STS, and political theory but also music studies, internet research, gender
& sexuality studies, design studies, engineering, critical race studies,
indigenous studies, and beyond, as it relates to technology and
technological artifacts. Further, we encourage all career-stages of
scholars to submit work, from graduate students to advanced researchers to
show the ways Winner’s work is interpreted and enacted.

As resistance is a central thread throughout all of Winner’s work, we
encourage submissions that challenge hegemony and reimagine the way things
are into the way things might be.
