Giving Bodies Back to Data

Image Makers, Bricolage, and Reinvention in Magnetic Resonance Technology

By: Silvia Casini

An examination of the bodily, situated aspects of data-visualization work, looking at visualization practices around the development of MRI technology. Our bodies are scanned, probed, imaged, sampled, and transformed into data by clinicians and technologists. In this book, Silvia Casini reveals the affective relations and materiality that turn data into image--and in so doing, gives bodies back to data. Opening the black box of MRI technology, Casini examines the bodily, situated aspects of visualization practices around the development of this technology. Reframing existing narratives of biomedical innovation, she emphasizes the important but often overlooked roles played by aesthetics, affectivity, and craft practice in medical visualization. Combining history, theory, laboratory ethnography, archival research, and collaborative art-science, Casini retrieves the multiple presences and agencies of bodies in data visualization, mapping the traces of scientists' body work and embodied imagination. She presents an in-depth ethnographic study of MRI development at the University of Aberdeen's biomedical physics laboratory, from the construction of the first whole-body scanner for clinical purposes through the evolution of the FFC-MRI. Going beyond her original focus on MRI, she analyzes a selection of neuroscience- or biomedicine-inspired interventions by artists in media ranging from sculpture to virtual reality. Finally, she presents a methodology for designing and carrying out small-scale art-science projects, describing a collaboration that she herself arranged, highlighting the relational and aesthetic-laden character of data that are the product of craftsmanship and affective labor at the laboratory bench.

The European Ambition

The Group of the European People's Party and European Integration

By: Luciano Bardi,Wojciech Gagatek,Carine Germond,Karl Magnus Johansson,Wolfram Kaiser,Silvia Sassano

Die Studie beschreibt die institutionelle, organisatorische und politische Entwicklung der EVP-Fraktion im Europäischen Parlament und konzentriert sich dabei auf die Periode nach den ersten Direktwahlen im Jahr 1979. Auf diese Weise beleuchtet das Buch das Funktionieren der Parlamentsfraktionen und erweitert unser Wissen über ihre Rolle in der europäischen Integration und im politischen System der EU. Basierend auf dem konzeptionellen Rahmen verschiedener Disziplinen - Geschichte, Politikwissenschaft, Europastudien, politische Soziologie - ist das Buch das Ergebnis eines Forschungsprojekts, an dem Wissenschaftler mit unterschiedlichem akademischen Hintergrund und aus verschiedenen EU-Ländern beteiligt waren.
