No Reviews With Body Yet
AN 347
This course introduces anthropological approaches to technology and science, including global trends such as body modification and virtual bodies. It questions strictly technical perspectives by raising issues of power, association, legitimacy and design. A central focus is the 'cyborg', a real and imagined meeting-place between the body and technology that has implications for biomedicine, biocommerce, and computers in the present and the future. Prerequisites: AN100 or AN101 or AN110 or AN120.
