Presentation: After a few years traveling around Portugal, the cycle "Science, Technology, and Medicine in the Plazas" returns to Barcelona. Since 2012, it has been a meeting space for activists and academics with shared perspectives and a focus on social transformation (https://schct.iec.cat/ciencia-a-les-places; https://schct.iec.cat/sisena-sessio). Topics such as transgenderism, anti-immigration technologies, genetically modified organisms, nuclear energy, and uranium mining have been addressed. The sessions aim to serve as a platform to share experiences and understand how community, neighborhood, and activist knowledge interacts, tensions arise, nourishes expert knowledge (including historiographical) and is fundamental for producing social justice (particularly, mobility justice, in terms of Mimi Sheller).
This session is part of the "Science, Technology, and Medicine in the Plazas" cycle, a meeting space for activists and academics with shared perspectives and a focus on social transformation. This year, it is dedicated to the bicycle, and the participants will discuss three key tools to address current debates on sustainability, urbanism, and the right to the city:
-
History labs as avenues for co-creating history and projecting the future beyond academia.
-
Mobility studies as new interdisciplinary crossroads of the history of science.
-
Activist knowledge and the creative resistance of social movements that have confronted the expert gaze while producing new imaginaries and sociotechnical realities. (A longer description below).
