Technoscience Studies Lecture (2026)

The lecture takes place online, unless communicated otherwise.

The presentations are mainly offered by ourselves. If you would like to present part of your work, a publication in progress or a presentation in preparation, you are welcome to do so in the defence. MA/BA theses at almost any stage can also be discussed in this format. The presentation language is not necessarily English, but can also be German.

The event will take place on demand and will then be advertised accordingly on our website and on our social media channels. So if you feel you would like to discuss your work with the group, or if you know someone who would like to do so, please contact me: schwarza(at)b-tu.de

Indrawan Prabaharyaka: Animation as Method

This presentation is a reflection on the experience of reworking a research result (animation) into a method, a way to do something else, even beyond the research itself. Three variations—perspectival transformation, mnemonic, and futuring—of what the animation can do will be presented next to the animation itself, Wind Witnesses, based on an archival study and ethnographic fieldwork from 2022 to 2025 in Stuttgart, where urban climatology has been applied in spatial planning, notably through the mapping of fresh air corridors and the prohibition of buildings in those trajectory spaces.

Anca Prodan - Linetracing: A Method Found in the Field

This presentation introduces insights from my fieldwork on Sorbian culture, focusing on linetracing as methodological approach. Although I refer to Tim Ingold’s work, my research did not begin with his concepts. Instead, linetracing emerged in the field as the only viable way to finding information for my research questions. My presentation outlines how I moved from respondent-driven sampling to linetracing, and how I then worked with it to analyse Sorbian culture.

Paloma Leguizamón

Abstract: The presentation will aim to present the preliminary results of the analysis of qualitative data collected in the framework of the PhD project "Chiribiquete National Park (Colombia): heritage in the context of post-conflict and peacebuilding", mostly corresponding to the analysis of interviews conducted with local communities.
