“…The collection of digital artifacts on Japan illustrates how anthropology and STS converge, acknowledging their common interest in areas like materiality, embodiment, environment, and infrastructure (Albornoz 2023;Alkan, Kaşdoğan, and Erol 2023;Kaşdoğan and Okune 2023;Khandekar, Fortun, Kaşdoğan, and Okune 2023;Mohácsi, Jun Otsuki, and St. Pierre 2023;Okune and Mutuku 2023). By incorporating and deviating from conventional Western scholarship, the blending of these previously separate fields highlights the universal impact of STS in and from Japan.…”

This commentary engages with the digital materials of STS in/through Turkey, Kenya, Japan, and Ecuador collected between 2018 and 2019, and with the collection of essays inspired by these materials. I use the notion of “splace” as an exploratory tool that challenges the division between space and place, and I also invite thinking about STS formations with geological formations I encountered on the Chilean Andes.

Our generation of editors faces a shared set of critical challenges (ESTS Editorial Collective et al. 2021;Neale et al. 2022). This is no different for our collective, which in addition has an experimental distributed organizational structure. We view those challenges with both familiarity and alarm. The problematics at issue have, we know, been around for a long time. Like so many, we feel both the urgent need to do something now and anxious awareness of how little we can doright now, at least. How to steer an informed, confident, and yet modest editorial course through challenges of earthly habitat loss, global energy crisis, Cold War revivalism, right-wing theo-political awakenings, pandemic mismanagement, white supremacism, massive urbanization, dataveillance, and platform capitalism?

“…A full set of the above questions are to be found on the STS-Infrastructures platform (2018) and an interview on reflections of the exhibitions are also on STS-I (Khandekar, Fortun, Kaşdoğan, and Okune 2023). While reading posters side-by-side, exhibitors and visitors attended to similarities and differences, feeling through multiple connections and ruptures in different places of STS.…”

Why, how, and for whom does it matter to walk through, attend and attune to plural and complex STS places/spaces? By building on the STS Across Borders and Innovating STS exhibits held at 4S 2018 and 2019 meetings, this thematic collection unpacks this question and explores the potentials of TRANSnational STS as a methodological orientation in these uncertain times, in a world where technoscientific knowledges and practices are constantly instrumentalized, reproducing colonial, imperialist, racist, nationalist and toxic relationships. The landscape of analysis in curating this thematic collection begins with the places of STS; this can be either a place where an STS meeting is held, an institution where STS scholars do research and teaching, or a formation that brings people together for social studies of science and technology. We invite readers to slowly walk through such a landscape, observing in detail particular places of STS. The contributors to this thematic collection highlight the importance of thinking and theorizing by starting with lived experiences, investigating each phenomenon within its own reality, and creating and conserving spaces for plurality with responsibility and care. Recognizing that reality is multi-layered, and thus needs a plurality of perspectives, the invitation to think about STS theories and practices through the analytic of place is about opening and holding collaborative spaces for ongoing discussions over the politics of STS without reproducing a form of methodological nationalism. This introductory essay presents what we have learned over the last four years navigating in and through TRANSnational STS places/spaces and constitutes one stop in our journey to slow down, reflect on, and share what it means to TRANSnationalize STS. With this collection, we hope to open a public space in ESTS to continue thinking collectively about potential new pathways for the future of the field.
