DESCRIPTION:Hannah Landecker (UCLA)\n\nThis talk draws together narratives
  of embryogenesis from somewhat disparate ways of recording and explaining
  change over time in metabolic\, cell imaging\, and genetic/epigenetic ter
 ms.   Has each technology of registering development elided the other\, pr
 oducing a set of comparable yet sometimes incommensurable accounts of embr
 yonic life?   Do these modes of recording and representation\, each with t
 heir own specific media\, actually produce different temporalities for the
  same object?   This of course is a scientific issue in terms of understan
 ding embryogenesis\, but it is also a historical and philosophical one.   
 Historical work often pursues the same avenues which seem self-evidently t
 o be different topics: developmental genetics\, biochemistry of metabolism
 \, microscopy and imaging.  By foregrounding accounts of temporality\, ins
 tead of choosing disciplinary or biographical protagonists\, perhaps diffe
 rent histories will come into view.
