Course Syllabus
Abstract
The first part of the course would be an introduction into critical science and technology studies with the focus on the role of different media in historical development and in functioning of science and technology. We will discuss approaches and empirical cases in that field (and partly in philosophy and history of science, new materialism), focusing on the ways technoscience forms our lives and environment, in a nutshell, realities we find ourselves in. It does so by enacting nature realities by its knowledge ant technical practices (in laboratories, surveys) and by implementing technologies. Sometimes this situation is called Anthropocene so philosophical perspectives on Anthropocene will also be in focus. The second part will concern specifics of representation and self-representation of technoscience in different media after the WWII till today - in science museums, pop-culture and contemporary art.
