[cid:image003.png@01D44F54.60C7EFF0] Workshop Kick-off Event: Critical Automobility Studies Lab Wann: 13.12.2019 10.00 - 12.00 Uhr Wo: Institut für Höhere Studien, Salon Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Wien IHS research group Techno-Science and Societal Transformation<https://www.ihs.ac.at/ru/techno-science-and-societal-transformation/> is happy to announce the start of its Critical Automobility Studies Lab. The lab kicks off with a launching event that offers presentations and discussions as well as networking opportunities for everyone interested in Critical Automobility Studies. Automobility is a hegemonic and enduring sociotechnical setup worth critical attention. To concentrate on a critical approach to automobility is all the more important as new societal challenges related to automobility emerged in the last few years from sustainability of electric vehicles to ethical questions related to the transition to autonomous devices or spatial justice in modern urban environs just to name a few. Automobility, in our view, is a complex construct of technologies, apparatuses, ideologies; an imaginary of and in the present. It is composed of both the material and the representational: of discourses, visions and images, of automobiles and the physical infrastructure of automobility. The keynotes will be held by: * Robert Braun, Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna Title: Automobility nomos and biopolitics * Richard Randell, Webster University, Geneve Title: The imaginary of Automobility * Carlos Lopez-Galviz, Lancaster University Title: The Past Futures of Cities and Mobility: A View from History We would like you to be part of our community.
