>Heterogeneous (Id)Entities and Biomedical Technologies: Exploring
>Socio-political Meanings
>
>Over the past few years, a growing amount of research has focussed on
>questions of the entities and identities involved and produced in the
>contexts of novel biomedical technologies. An again increasing number of
>these studies has emphasised the complex and heterogeneous character of
>these emerging (id)entities, and traced how they are shaped in close
>relation to the specific local contexts of their formation.
>
>Despite these efforts, what we feel is increasingly missing, is to bring
>together these situated storylines and ask what these narrations of
>heterogeneity may mean in a larger social-political perspective. This
>implies to develop axes and dimensions of comparison between different
>existing and future bodies of work, and to debate its political
>implications.
>
>Our session aims at fostering a discussion that builds a comparative
>reflection of individual case studies and thus mutually sharpens our
>understanding of different forms of heterogeneity and our vision of
>their implications in a wider socio-political sense.
>
>Thus, papers are invited to address and explore the meanings of
>heterogeneity and (id)entity in specific biomedical contexts, aiming at
>opening up a discussion to compare these findings on different levels,
>such as national political culture, the distinct character and history
>of different biomedical technologies or the local specifics of their
>application.
>
>In order to give room for this moment of comparing and bringing together
>these different strands of work also within the session structure, the
>individual contributions will be commented and interrelated by a discussant.

>If you are in Rotterdam and interested in participating, please send an
