International Conference "Technologies of Globalization"

Presently (re-)shaping social life as well as economics and science,
the effects of globalization are in their turn - and in manifold ways -
related to and in fact highly dependent on technology. The first
International Conference of the DFG Graduate School "Topologies
of Technology" seeks to explore in greater detail and from a deliberately
interdisciplinary angle the role(s) and function(s) of worldembracing
information and communication technologies, transport
and computing facilities in the global age.

In plenary discussions and five interdisciplinary streams the
conference
- inspects the novel ways in which global(ized) technologies
enable mobility (and require new modes of managing these)
- attempts to clarify how newly developed technologies contribute
to and assist the currently observable developments in
the particular field of engineering and, more generally, in labor
distribution and organization
- traces the influence of these technologies on the re-definition
of "the local" against the backdrop of "the global"
- gives space to historical considerations aiming at the disclosure
of precursors of technology-enhanced globalizing tendencies
- discusses the world-wide efforts of controlling and improving
body movement(s) for the target group of old-age people in
sport science / kinesiology and perceptual computing.
