*Antípoda *– *Revista de Antropología y Arqueología *invites the academic community to submit articles between February 1st and March 31st of 2016, for the *Meridianos* section of issue 26 (September-December 2016) dedicated to the topic of *“Ethnography and Science and Technology Studies.” *
Today, one of the most fertile influences for doing and thinking anthropology comes from the heterogeneous field of Science and Technology Studies. A growing number of anthropologists find inspiration there for rethinking traditional problems of their discipline and for opening up new thematic areas for reflection. Simultaneously, ethnography has also become one of the preferred ways of producing situated knowledge from the perspective of Science and Technology Studies, which in turn has reshaped the way that ethnographic work in general is conceived, lived and experienced.
However, it is not just a matter of broadening ethnographic topics, scenarios and objects. In addition to opening the doors of laboratories to ethnography and allowing it to experiment with all types of devices, the influence of STS has strengthened the ethnographic question regarding reality and its relations to all types of practices and knowledge. Ultimately, anthropology has availed itself of this inspiration in STS to explore topics that do not necessarily refer to the domain of technoscience, in a profoundly conceptual and at the same time empirical creative exercise. Ethnography, at the intersection between anthropology and STS, is therefore not just a way of gathering and presenting data, but also a way of producing theory that emerges from the field and cannot be separated from it.
With issue 26, *Antípoda *continues its reflections on ethnography as a way of conceiving of anthropological knowledge (see, for example, *Antípoda **16 “**Etnografías en transición”*). We hope to receive original articles that present reflections of this type from the perspective of anthropology, Science and Technology Studies, or the interface between the two. We are interested in receiving proposals conceived of and developed with evident theoretical and methodological crosscurrents, and that reflect on the intersections and divergences between anthropology and STS in Latin America.
*Texts will be received between February 1st and March 31st of 2016, through the platform for reception of articles on our webpage. Texts will be accepted in Spanish, English and Portuguese. In addition to this call for articles, Antípoda is permanently open to receiving articles on a free choice of topics in anthropology and archaeology, and we therefore request that you indicate the fact when your work is being submitted in response to this specific call for articles on “Ethnography and Science and Technology Studies.” All relevant information on the editorial process and the rules for authors is available on our webpage: * http://antipoda.uniandes.edu.co/page.php?c=Pol%C3%ADticas+%C3%A9ticas
