Dear colleagues, we cordially invite you to join the Biographies of
Artifacts and Practices (BOAP) Research Colloquium. Based on a
collaboration of researchers from the University of Edinburgh, Aalto
University, and the Technical University of Berlin, this bi-monthly
colloquium provides an open platform for an international network of
researchers interested in BOAP and related methodological and analytical
approaches. Its main goal is to contribute to strengthening the
robustness of research designs in STS and the sociology of technology
and innovation. Each event features the presentation and discussion of
one research project that traces the biographies of complex
sociotechnical systems across multiple locales and extended timeframes,
often linking multiple studies and scales of analysis.
The colloquium will take place online on March 6th, 4 pm (CET). It will
feature a talk by Zinaida Vasilyeva (Technical University of Munich).
titled Soviet DIY Modernity: Cultural Biographies of Skills and the
Problem of Value Transformation. Applying Kopytoff’s analysis of the
cultural biographies of things to skills, the talk will explore the
dynamics of value regimes and the mechanisms of "moral economy" involved
in the commodification and de-commodification of skills.
