STS TURKEY 2018 Toplum için Bilim ve Teknoloji Çalışmaları Konferansı (10.-11.09.2018, ODTÜ)
Endüstri 4.0, büyük veri, yapay zekâ ve makine ile öğrenme gibi kavramlar, bugün teknokratların veya sanat ve edebiyatın diline mahsus değil; işgücü piyasasından tüketim alışkanlıklarına, politik ilişkilerden kişilerarası ilişkilere kadar her yere nüfûz ediyor. Üreme teknolojileri, estetik cerrahi, nöroteknolojiler, sanal gerçeklik uygulamalarının yaygınlığı, sosyoteknik sistemlerin (enerji, iletişim, vs.) genişleyen kapsamı ve teknobilimin tüm görüngüleri, tüm […]
The “techno-cerebral subject”, a bio-technical form of the cyborg – action theory #cyborgactiontheory
The human as techno-cerebrally operating form – this study shows the adaptation of human and machine in neuroscience and describes the acting of a cyborg. The neuroscientific studies I analyzed, were concerned with the restoration of cerebral processes by neurofeedback (via Brain-Machine Interface), with which stroke patients had to regulate their brainwaves and thereby to […]

Cyborgs, Klone und Mutanten? – Interview mit Melike Şahinol über aktuelle Transformationsprozesse in der Medizin
Sehr gerne habe ich Gesche Schifferdecker ein Interview zum Thema “Optimizing the Body: From Health Protection to Genetic Embryo Modification” im Rahmen der Veranstaltung “WeberWorldCafé” gegeben. Hier ein Ausschnitt: “Wenn ich Diskussionen über mögliche Optimierungen des Menschen (Reproduktionsmedizin, Schönheitsoperationen, Manipulation des menschlichen Erbguts) folge, bin ich beunruhigt. Werden die Menschen der Zukunft alle Cyborgs sein? […]
Das techno-zerebrale Subjekt. Zur Symbiose von Mensch und Maschine in den Neurowissenschaften
“Doğayı Geliştirmek, Gelecekteki Bedenler: Disiplinlerarası ve Uluslararası Perspektifler”, Orient-Institut Istanbul, 17.-18.06.2016 TARİHLERİ NOT EDİN
İnsan genomunun ve bedeninin manipülasyonları giderek daha yaygın hale gelmektedir. Yeni yöntemlerin kullanılmasıyla, örneğin embriyoların genetiğinin değiştirilmesi ya da beyin implantlarıyla depresyon tedavileri gerçekleşmektedir. Doğayı “optimize” olasılığı, insanın dışsal ve iradi dizayn fırsatları hızla artıyor. Eksik ya da hatalı algılanan biyolojik beden, önceki gelecek kurgularında bir siborg olarak, yedek parça veya teknik açıdan yükseltilmiş bir […]
