\nWhat are genealogical practices doing? What are we doing with them? How are they doing what they do? Who is their agent? And how can we learn more about their relationality?
\nInvestigating the agency of genealogical practices is not only interesting for historians of the Middle Ages or for those who want to trace noble lineages \u2013 it’s a question of major concern for contemporary life. Genealogical methods are an established part of the scientific canon in such diverse disciplines as history, medicine, anthropology, biology, and law, to name but a few. They are used to trace pathological features through the course of generations, to visualize the theory of evolution, to explore kinship structures, and to legitimize relationships. Beyond scientific and academic institutions, genealogical practices play a crucial role in private ancestry research; in government decisions on migration policies, social benefits and medical aid; in citizenship laws and in inheritance legislature. In short, one can generally find such practices wherever questions of origin are asked, claims for power and inheritance are raised, wherever politics of memory and identity are to be installed or (cultural) legacies are to be refuted or defended.
\nYet even though genealogical practices seem to be ubiquitous and robust, they are also shadowy. Sarah Franklin, in her new book on the history and practices of cloning, draws upon this ubiquity, simultaneously noting that geneaology might be seen as one of the „most important, but vague and undertheorized terms in contemporary critical thought“.
\nObviously one encounters specific difficulties when researching genealogical practices. These difficulties, as well as the above-mentioned questions about the agency of these practices, will be the subject of our workshop, which is situated at the crossroads of anthropology, history of sciences and medicine and interdisciplinary science and technology studies.
