Workshop 2012's theme III (Assemblages)
Expected Papers
Introductory considerations
This theme is primarily focused on understanding environmental management as a ‘socio-natural assemblage’ (Bakker, 2010). As assemblages are structured through ‘critical reflection, debate, and contest’ (Collier, 2006, p. 400) by engaging environmental management, our attempt here is to explore the multiple possibilities of reinventing the politics of nature.

Towards the study of situated practices of managing environments
At the 10th Annual IAS-STS Conference Critical Issues in Science and Technology Studies (May 2-3, 2011 at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology and Society - Graz, Austria) we have brought together several researchers to discuss the study of situated practices of managing environments: For that we have designed a session in which Ingmar Lippert, Silvia Bruzzone, Franz Krause, Anna Schreuer and Gerald Aiken contributed analytically and empirically to the topic.
