<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Work in STS, media theory and critical
theory intersects through a focus on mediated practices. Furthermore, science
and technology studies and humanities based studies of media and culture
(including film, art, literature, music) have common interests in
representations, meaning systems, social and institutional aspects of science,
media and culture, and the politics and ethics of interventions in these
domains. <span style> </span>We often draw upon
overlapping perspectives and theories, which are however deployed in different
ways by scholars of science, and scholars of media and culture.<span style> </span>The aim of this panel is to build on
precedents (Thacker’s <i style>Biomedia</i>, van
Dijck’s <i style>ImagEnation, </i>etc.) and to
further explore these overlaps and divergences, and the ways in which concepts,
ideas approaches and perspectives might travel more effectively across science
and technological studies, media studies and cultural studies. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We invite papers that show how a notion
developed in one field can be used in the other, either via analysis of
examples, by adopting a hybrid approach, or by theoretical reflection. </span></p>
