Los ACTS como método: hacia una práctica crítica

Main Article Content

Mona Hedayati

Esta contribución aboga por reconceptualizar los estudios de arte, ciencia y tecnología (ACTS) como método en lugar de considerarlos simplemente una convergencia interdisciplinar. Arraigado en la noción histórica de formaciones de conocimiento centradas en la técnica (tékne) basadas en la práctica, el documento presenta el método como un modo activo de interactuar y dar forma a las realidades tecnológicas. En el diálogo con los Estudios de Ciencia y Tecnología (CTS), especialmente su negativa a separar la teoría, el método y la práctica, los ACTS se posicionan como una extensión de esta tradición al incorporar las capacidades epistémicas, estéticas y materiales de la práctica artística. En lugar de observar a distancia, los ACTS adoptan una postura crítica e intervienen dentro de los sistemas sociotécnicos, definiéndolos activamente a la vez que destacan los aspectos políticos, contingentes y situados de la producción de conocimiento. Al presentar métodos y casos prácticos que encarnan esta orientación, la contribución enfatiza cómo los ACTS tienen como objetivo trabajar generativamente con la complejidad, reconfigurando las infraestructuras, imaginarios y modos de crítica que dan forma a la vida tecnológica contemporánea.

Palabras clave
ACTS crítico, reconfiguración técnica, práctica híbrida, ensamblaje de métodos, producción de conocimientos localizados
