Soviet SCI_BERIA

The Politics of Expertise and the Novosibirsk Scientific Center

By: Ksenia Tatarchenko

At first glance, the Novosibirsk Scientific Center, or Akademgorodok, appears as an outlier in academic excellence. This 'science city' is renowned for a preeminent university, dozens of research institutes, and a thriving technopark. At home, it is an emblem of Russian innovation; abroad, it is often portrayed as a potential threat, a breeding ground of cyber soldiers. Though Siberia has been the main source of post-1991 Russian carbon revenues, its soviet history and cold war legacy of internationalism demonstrates that territorial and scientific dimensions interlocked the moment the Siberian Branch of the Soviet Academy of Sciences was created in 1957. Drawing on a wide range of previously unexplored archives, Soviet SCI_BERIA focuses on how the post-Stalinist Siberia was redefined and represented through the ideal of rational development, the late socialist innovation practices, and the relationship between experts and the state. It offers a fresh insight into the transition from Soviet to post-Soviet Akademgorodok. In doing so, Tatarchenko not only fosters a conversation between history, area studies, and science studies but also sheds new light on Soviet modernity and the limits of its transformative projects.

Interaction of Nervous and Endocrine Mechanisms in Integrative Brain Activity and Behaviour

By: Liudmila A. Severyanova,Dmitry V. Plotnikov,Ksenia D. Plotnikova

The material in this monograph was obtained by the authors in years of research carried out at Kursk State Medical University, Russia. This original, evidence-based research studied the behavior and effects of peptide hormones (melanocortins) and corticosteroids on the excitability and interaction of brain structures. Multiple objective indicators of brain functioning were recorded, taking into account behavioral, motor and visceral manifestations; stereotactic technique, electroencephalography, electrocardiography, electromyography, neuropharmacological and structural-functional analysis were used. The mechanisms of hormonal influence on integrative brain activity that ensure the selection and maintenance of biologically adequate behavior and adaptation have been established. Due to the findings of this research, this book explores the origin of mental disorders in diseases of the pituitary and adrenal glands and during hormonal therapy, and to substantiate the purposeful synthesis of active oligopeptides as new drugs. The book will be of use to physiologists, pathophysiologists, endocrinologists, neuropathologists, psychiatrists, university students, and doctors taking upgrading courses.

Tactics of Interfacing

Encoding Affect in Art and Technology

By: Ksenia Fedorova

How digital technologies affect the way we conceive of the self and its relation to the world, considered through the lens of media art practices. In Tactics of Interfacing, Ksenia Fedorova explores how digital technologies affect the way we conceive of the self and its relation to the world. With the advent of ubiquitous computing, the self becomes an object of technological application, increasingly defined by data received from tracking technologies. Subtly, these technologies encourage versions of ourselves that are easier to interpret computationally. Fedorova views these shifts in self-perception through the lens of contemporary media art practices, examining a range of artistic tactics that enable embodied and intimate experiences of machinic operations on our lives. At the center of Fedorova's analysis are the mechanisms that structure the relations between the self and the world at the level of the interface; she considers “interfacing” a process in which interrelation happens and different agencies play off against each other. She discusses such topics as interfaciality and the face as a medium; self-image and the boundaries of the self, understood through technological mediation of an embodied experience; the relation between the self and the other, reshaped by algorithmic technologies; and the augmentation and alteration of spatial perception. The artworks Fedorova discusses present scenarios of interfacing that range from responsive environments to artificial intelligence conversational agents. She shows that art and aesthetic experience offer fruitful ways to reflect on the effects of contemporary technological culture, enabling encounters that shift our perspectives on the boundaries of the self and challenge the very capacity to feel human.
