Summary
Tracing constitutes a technoscientific and political practice that organizes movement, transformation, and relational data into legible systems of knowledge and power. From ancient cartography to contemporary biometric infrastructures, traceability underpins epistemic and governance regimes. This workshop invites critical, interdisciplinary analyses of the traceability as method and critique.
