Critical and clinical cartographies: international conference proceedings

Samenvatting

Hoe verhoudt het menselijk lichaam als levend organisme zich tot toegepaste technologieën in de medische zorg? In Critical and Clinical Carthographies buigen Nederlandse en internationale experts op het gebied van robotica, mechatronica, medische technologie, design en architectuur zich over dit onderwerp. Critical and Clinical Carthographies komt voort uit een transdisciplinaire conferentie georganiseerd door de Theorie afdeling en Hyperbody van de Faculteit Bouwunde aan de TU Delft,in samenwerking met de Bio Mechatronics en Bio Robotics afdeling van de Faculteit van Bio Mechanical Engineering aan de TU Delft.\'The critical [...] and the clinical [...] may be destined to enter into a new relationship of mutual learning. [...] In place of a dialectic which all too readily ... perceives the link between opposites, we should aim for a critical and clinical appraisal able to reveal the truly differential mechanisms as well as the artistic originalities.\' Deleuze, 1967 \'The ambition of Critical and Clinical Cartographies is to rethink medical and design pedagogies in the context of both Affective and Digital Turns. [...] The practice of carthograpy is employed for exploring relations between the body, and the machine technologies used in medical care and architecture design, in order to map the ever-shifting thresholds between the organic and the inorganic, the innate and the acquired. The present volume affords the reader a chance to encounter diverse research trajectories in development. The Conference Proceedings, with its intricate entanglement of diverse contributions, constitutes cartography in its own right with an ambition to rethink the established theoretical frameworks.\' - Andrej Radman, Stavros KousoulasMet tekstbijdragen vanAndrej Radman, Stavros Kousoulas, Robert Alexander Gorny, Dulmini Perera, Katharina D.
