Politics of Design – International Workshop, 24-25 June 2010, Manchester,
UK.
Organised by the Manchester Architecture Research Centre
http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/research/marc/
In the last decade numerous STS trained scholars engaged in a venture of
unpacking design practices. Yet, to study the practical course of design
means to be simultaneously involved in the subject of politics and in the
particular sort of politics that is centred on objects (Latour & Weibel,
Making Things Public). Recent studies in political philosophy and STS have
argued that politics is not limited anymore to citizens, elections, votes,
petitions, ideologies and particular institutionalised conflicts (DeVries,
What is Political in Sub-politics?), and have reformulated the question of
politics into one of cosmopolitics (Stengers, Cosmopolitics; Latour,
Politics of Nature) and ontological politics (Mol, Actor Network Theory and
After). The “political” is not defined as a way of codifying particular
forms of contestation but as opening up new sites and objects of
contestation (Barry, Political Machines).

Cybernetics: Art, Design, Mathematics – A Meta-Disciplinary Conversation.
First deadline: 29-Mar-2010 abstracts submitted through the web site.
How would you like to shape and take part in a conference where the main
activity is to explore by listening, talking and questioning (conversing)
rather than listen to, and give, prepared lectures; and where the aim is to
move forward, taking next steps as a result of these conversations, rather
than reporting on the already discovered? In other words, go to a conference
where the intention is to move forward by conferring.

Speculation, Design, Public and Participatory Technoscience (Sep 2010,

We invite you to submit an abstract to the track Speculation, Design, Public
and Participatory Technoscience: Possibilities and Critical Perspectives at
EASST 2010 in Trento, Italy, 2-4 September 2010.
Over the past decade there has been an increasing engagement between design
and STS. One emerging and novel area of exchange is concerned with exploring
the ways in which practices of ’speculative design’ and STS concerns of
publics, participation, politics as well as expectations come together to
inform one another, to critique one another, and to collaborate in
developing new modes of co-production of contemporary technoscience.
Although such associations are promising, they are nascent and in need of
articulation and critical examination.

SMART Center Santa Fe Creative Workshop (Jun/Jul 2010, New Mexico

The SMART Center Santa Fe was begun in the summer of 2009 by Jack Sprague,
the former Communication Design program coordinator at The University of
North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design, and four associates with
extensive academic and professional experience in design, academic
administration, the performing and visual arts, computer engineering and
marketing. It exists to provide immersive, week-long learning experiences
for university students and professionals who are studying or practicing one
of these disciplines or one closely related to them, or, as is more and more
likely the case today, working across several disciplines simultaneously.

DesignInquiry Summer 2010: JOY (June 2010, Maine

Edit<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=131>
Does design create or embody joy, or does it merely create conditions for
joy to emerge? Is there joy in the designed artifact or in the act of
design? Is a designer’s joy the same as a user’s joy? What is the
relationship between joy and play and how might design conjoin the two?
What might a taxonomy of joy look like?
DesignInquiry is a non-profit educational organization devoted to
researching design issues in-based gatherings. It brings together
practitioners from disparate fields to generate new work and ideas around a
single topic.

Detailed information is available at the Conference
website<http://designprinciplesandpractices.com/Conference-2010/>.
The deadline for the current round in the *Call for Papers* is *14 January
2010*. Deadlines for future rounds will be posted at the website.
This Conference will address a range of critically important
themes<http://designprinciplesandpractices.com/ideas/themes/>relating
the design
today <http://designprinciplesandpractices.com/ideas/scope-concerns/>. It is
a place to explore the meaning and purpose of ‘design’, as well as speaking
in grounded ways about the task of design and the use of designed artifacts
and processes. The Conference is a cross-disciplinary forum which brings
together researchers, teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and
future of design. The resulting conversations weave between the theoretical
and the empirical, research and application, market pragmatics and social
idealism.
