Workshop at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH), University of Luxembourg 7-8 December 2018 Submission deadline: 2 July 2018 The everyday use of technology involves practices of maintenance and repair but also raises questions of reuse and removal, dismantling and disposal. According to Stephen Graham and Nigel Thrift (2007: 19), repair and maintenance constitute “the engine room of modern economies and societies”. The current “maintainers network” (Russell/Vinsel 2018) argues for an emphasis on maintenance instead of the traditional focus on invention and innovation in the field of history of technology. Indeed, we still know surprisingly little about the history of repair, reuse and disposal practices. In his plea for a history of “technology-in-use”, David Edgerton (2008: 81) summarised: “Unfortunately we are not in a position to give an overview of the main trends i...

ARTEFACT is a 5-year project (2017-2022) led by Dr. Inanna Hamati-Ataya and funded by the European Research Council under the EU’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. Approaching the global history of human political organisation as an artefact of our cultural evolution, the project aims to develop an anthropological understanding and theorisation of ‘the global’ grounded in the deep history of humankind’s epistemic development. ARTEFACT interrogates the ways in which the emergence, development, and diffusion of human knowledge systems have shaped the constitution, functioning, and path-dependent transformation of global political structures and world systems. It does so specifically by taking as a case-study the rise, diffusion, and impact of four major successive global agricultural revolutions of the Neolithic/ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary eras, and their associated global-political configurations. ARTEFACT also aims to develop ‘Glob...

*First Irvine-Munich-PoliMi-Salzburg Conference in Philosophy and Foundations of Physics* *(IMPS 2018)* *Salzburg, Austria, 03-04. Sep 2018* *Organizing committee: *Erik Curiel (Munich), Patricia Palacios (Salzburg), Giovanni Valente (Milan), Jim Weatherall (Irvine), and Charlotte Werndl (Salzburg) *Call for Papers* Over the past decades, important contributions to the mathematical and conceptual foundations of physical theories have been made within the philosophical community.   Conversely, critical analysis of the formal structures of our best physical theories inform central philosophical concerns, and in some cases new theorems have been proven and new lines of argument developed that are of philosophical significance. This conference aims to bring together philosophers, physicists, and mathematicians working on such issues. The event will be held on September 3-4, 2018 at the University of Salzburg (Austria). It will immediately precede a workshop on "T...
