“Crip Making” keynote by Aimi Hamraie, 16 September 2021, 7–8:30pm (CEST)

Download Flyer Abstract Is design informed by the lived experiences of disability inherently political? Several concepts exist within critical disability studies to name disability-led design. These include crip technoscience (Hamraie 2017; Hamraie and Fritsch 2019), “microactivist affordances” (Dokumaci 2020), “Criptastic hacking” (Yergeau 2014), and the “design theory of disability” (Guffey and Williamson). These approaches center […]

Keynote: Anne Waldschmidt “Inclusion – Accessibility – Normality: Some Remarks from a Dispositif-Analytical Perspective” 17 September 2021, 3:30-5pm (CEST)

Download Flyer Abstract It is Critical Disability Studies as an innovative discourse, which has significantly contributed to revising simplistic and individualistic views of disability and impairment.

This approach, as Disability Studies scholars and disability rights activists know well, […]

Assistance – On the History of Assistive Ensembles (2nd Meeting of the network “Dis-/Abilities and Digital Media”) 17-19 March 2021 #ststwitter

The category of assistive technologies is often discussed as a political category (Alper 2017), as they invoke connotations such as “in need of help” with respect to the respective users (Mills 2015; Kotsch 2012; Ott 2014). At this meeting, the concept of assistance will be historically situated and questioned. The aim is to problematize the […]

Sosyal bilim çalısmalarının, özellikle tıp sosyoloji veya bilim ve teknoloji çalısmalarının (STS, BTT veya BTÇ) ne kadar önemli olduğu bir kez daha ortaya çıkıyor. Bugüne kadar Türkiye’deki bu tarz çalısmalara daha az dikkat gösterilmiştir. Orient Enstitüsünde 2015 yılından bu yana “insan, tıp ve toplum” araştırma alanında Türkiye için bu üçlünün arasındaki bağımlılıkları tartışıyoruz. Daha yeni […]

İçeriden Sesler, Sessizlikler: Tımarhanede Sanat ve Edebiyat (Fatih Artvinli): Türkiye’de “delilik çalışmaları” alanına ilgi son yıllarda giderek artmaya başlamıştır. Tıp tarihi ve psikiyatri tarihi alanında daha çok temel aktörler ve kurumların tarihine yoğunlaşılırken, bu kurumlarda bizzat hastalar tarafından üretilen eserler, edebiyat ve sanat ürünlerine yansıyan sesler ve sessizlikler henüz yeterince işitilmemiştir. Bu sunumda, Toptaşı Bimarhanesi, […]

Tıbbın Epistemik Serüveni: Bir Biyopolitik Fenomenoloji Denemesi (Özen B. Demir): Tıbbın, bütün “insancıl” ve inter-disipliner vurgulara inat, bir tür kendiliğinden ideoloji şeklinde varlığını sürdüren fizikalizmi, mekanik ve şabloncu paradigması esasında bir tür “ucube fabrikası” olarak çalışır. Tıbbın hegemonik bilim rejimi bünyesindeki tevellüdü modernite öncesine, antikiteye dek uzatılabilir. Bu koordinattaki elzem kavram ise “isonomia”dır. İsonomia ideali, […]
