Strange Positioning Systems

Date: Wednesday. October 15, 2008

Time: 3:00PM

Place: Morton 203

Strange Positioning Systems (SPS), a talk by Artist/Curator in Residence Caterina Verde, from ArtSPACE, New Haven, CT

 A play on GPS tracking technology, Strange Positioning Systems (SPS) examines the aesthetic, cultural and psychological peculiarities of positionging the self and collective enterprises in a fluid, electronically dislocated environment. Former performance curator for the Kitchen, NYC, and artist-in-residence with the American Center in Paris, Caterina Verde has recently launched SPS at ArtSPACE in New Haven, CT. She will discuss her evolving project with the Stevens community and entreat students to join her in developing a Strange Positioning System at Stevens.

Science, Technology and the Humanities: A New Synthesis
April 24-25, 2009

College of Arts & Letters

Several scholarly disciplines focus on science and technology. Especially since World War II, the fields of the history, philosophy, literature, and social studies of science and technology have become well established as academic programs, and they have brought us ever richer and more subtle appreciations of science, technology, and their social dimensions.

As valuable and productive as these research endeavors have been, it is also the case that their principal purpose has been to produce better understandings of the enterprises of science and technology. Even where “external” or socially-oriented considerations have been brought to bear, by and large the goal has remained to shed new light on science and technology and the continuing roles they play in our lives. What remains of mere incidental or peripheral concern are the humanistic disciplines themselves.

In many ways, the traditional humanities and liberal arts have hardly felt the impact of these studies of science and technology. In recognizing this circumstance, the College of Arts & Letters at Stevens Institute of Technology has taken as its institutional mission to rethink the traditional humanities and liberal arts with science and technology as our points of departure. In so doing, we aim to reverse the analytical arrow and to focus more directly on the ways science and technology impact, inform, and redefine our disciplines.

Our upcoming conference, Science, Technology and the Humanities: A New Synthesis seeks to inquire—both on theoretical levels and in case studies—how by taking science and technology into consideration, we might enrich our understanding of history, philosophy, sociology, literary analysis, and the arts.

We invite as wide a range of speakers and papers as possible. We anticipate the speedy publication of conference proceedings. The closing date for consideration of proposals is January 15, 2009. Please send abstracts to CAL Conference, Spring ’09, c/o Prof. James E. McClellan III, College of Arts & Letters, Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on Hudson, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030
