Discursive and material dimensions of the digital transformation: Perspectives from and on Japan

Jointly organized with the Nippon Institute for Research Advancement, German Center for Research and Innovation Tokyo, Sophia University, and the University of Europe for Applied Sciences, the workshop "Discursive and material dimensions of the digital transformation: Perspectives from and on Japan" brings together 20 scholars to discuss connecting approaches and analytical concepts in digital transformation. It draws on media and cultural studies, anthropology, the history of science, and STS.

Based on perspectives from and on Japan, this workshop brings together 20 scholars to discuss connecting approaches and analytical concepts in digital transformation. "Discursive and material dimensions of the digital transformation: Perspectives from and on Japan" will explore visions, practices, and narratives in politics, research and development, and science fiction related to robots, artificial intelligence, and algorithms (day 1); the use of data and the development of data infrastructures with regard to their socio-cultural, economic, and historical situation (day 2). On the final day, the results of the previous days are compiled and related from a transdisciplinary perspective to think about possibilities of employing them productively. The workshop will draw on approaches from media and cultural studies, anthropology, the history of science, and science and technology studies. It takes place 11-13 September online, at Sophia University (keynotes), and in Shimokitazawa.
