Deadline to submit abstracts and tracks proposals is February 1, 2013 More information about the conference here

A main aim of the conference is to encourage debate on the cultural, social, economic, political and ethical implications of advances in information and media technology. A challenge facing the philosophy of technology and STS disciplines is to reflect upon our changed human condition and propose new ways to think through the quandaries technologies generate.
Reflecting on the emergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs), several questions may be raised: How do our lives change in an information society? What role do ICTs play in culture, politics, or social revolutions? How do ICTs shape the global economy? What new challenges do ICTs present to the public sphere and to individual privacy? How do ICTs affect human cognition and aesthetic sensibilities? How are ICT converging with nano and biotechnologies? Do ICTs stimulate ideas of new technological utopias?

Many other topics can be addressed and are welcome!
