Announcement:
Imaging plays a prominent role in contemporary medical research and
practice. This conference focusses on three related aspects of imaging the
human body, demonstrating a range of cultural, historical and scientific
concerns:
* Scientific representations
* Ontologies
* Ethics
It is the aim of the conference to reconstruct methods of diagnostic
knowledge and their social, anthropological and technological origins and
future implications. Among the topics to be discussed are:
* the production of knowledge using imaging techniques, and the
commensurability of that knowledge across imaging modalities;
* experimental systems and the role of data and data collection for medical
diagnosis and communication;
* the role of formal ontologies in representation and communication with
medical images;
* norms of health and disease and the understanding of body (and mind) as
they are shaped by imaging technologies;
* the interdependence of technology, medicine, economics and engineering.
This wide-ranging conference will include plenary lectures from eminent
scholars in the field, panel seminars, author-meets-critics sessions,
outreach activities, and social receptions.
