that the tenth International Somatechnics Conference will be held in Byron Bay from Dec 1-3, 2016. The conference is co-hosted by the University of Queensland and Southern Cross University, with the support of the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence

<p class="xxmsonormal" style="margin-left:7.1pt;background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black">The term “somatechnics” was coined in 2003, as a new critical framework through which to rethink the relationship
between technologies and embodiment. As Nikki Sullivan argues: ”<i>techné</i> is not something we add or apply to the already constituted body (as object), nor is it a tool that the embodied self employs to its own ends. Rather, <i>technés</i> are the dynamic
means in and through which corporealities are crafted” (<i>TSQ </i>1.1-2 2014).</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal" style="margin-left:7.1pt;background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black">This conference is intended to extend this focus on bodily techniques and embodied technologies to engage with
recent theories of time and temporalities, as well as feminist, queer and trans historiography. Philosophies of </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:black">time and critical investigations of past, present and future technologies
have long been important concerns in studies of embodiment. Studies of the historical construction of gender and embodied memory, as well as various durational approaches to materiality, have revealed the important role played by technicity and temporality
in the construction of corporealities. Points of intersection and divergence between such critical conceptions of time and technology, and recent science studies open up a further set of directions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
