  1. Descolonizar la universidad.Achille Mbembe - 2023 - Medellín: Ennegativo Ediciones. Translated by Leandro Sánchez Marín.
    Las universidades de hoy son grandes sistemas de control autoritario, estandarización, gradación, contabilidad, clasificación, créditos y sanciones. Necesitamos descolonizar los sistemas de acceso y gestión en la medida en que han convertido la educación superior en un producto comercializable, clasificado, comprado y vendido por unidades estándar, medido, contado y reducido a equivalencia básica mediante pruebas mecánicas y, por lo tanto, fácilmente sujetas a consistencia estadística, con estándares y unidades numéricas. Tenemos que descolonizar esto porque disuade a estudiantes y profesores de (...)

  • Thinking as Folding.Kyle Novak - 2022 - Philosophy Today 66 (4):745-762.
    Rosi Braidotti has recently argued that the emerging scholarship on posthumanism should employ what she calls nomadic thinking. Braidotti identifies Gilles Deleuze’s work on Spinoza as the genesis of posthumanist ontology, yet Deleuze’s claims about nomadic thinking or nomadology come from his work on Leibniz. I argue that for posthumanist thought to theorize subjectivity beyond the human, it must use nomadology to overcome ontology itself. To make my argument, I demonstrate that while Braidotti is correct about Spinoza’s influence on Deleuze, (...)

  • Drugs, Brains and Other Subalterns: Public Debate and the New Materialist Politics of Addiction.Mats Ekendahl, Kylie Valentine & Suzanne Fraser - 2018 - Body and Society 24 (4):58-86.
    Over the last few decades feminists, science and technology studies scholars and others have grappled with how to take materiality into account in understanding social practices, subjectivity and events. One key area for these debates has been drug use and addiction. At the same time, neuroscientific accounts of drug use and addiction have also arisen. This development has attracted criticism as simplistically reinstating material determinism. In this article we draw on 80 interviews with health professionals directly involved in drug-related public (...)

  • Neurorights as Hohfeldian Privileges.Stephen Rainey - 2023 - Neuroethics 16 (1):1-12.
    This paper argues that calls for neurorights propose an overcomplicated approach. It does this through analysis of ‘rights’ using the influential framework provided by Wesley Hohfeld, whose analytic jurisprudence is still well regarded in its clarificatory approach to discussions of rights. Having disentangled some unclarities in talk about rights, the paper proposes the idea of ‘novel human rights’ is not appropriate for what is deemed worth protecting in terms of mental integrity and cognitive liberty. That is best thought of in (...)

  • Techno-bio-politics. On Interfacing Life with and Through Technology.Benjamin Lipp & Sabine Maasen - 2022 - NanoEthics 16 (1):133-150.
    Technology takes an unprecedented position in contemporary society. In particular, it has become part and parcel of governmental attempts to manufacture life in new ways. Such ideas concerning the governance of life organize around the same contention: that technology and life are, in fact, highly interconnectable. This is surprising because if one enters the sites of techno-scientific experimentation, those visions turn out to be much frailer and by no means “in place” yet. Rather, they afford or enforce constant interfacing work, (...)

  • Technology, Embodiment, and Affect in Voice Sciences: The Voice is an Imaginary Organ.Mickey Vallee - 2017 - Body and Society 23 (2):83-105.
    This article is interested in ‘voice imaging’ as a technical field through which people experience new relations between organic and inorganic forms of life. Grounded in a study of voice imaging in historical and contemporary scientific research, the article applies and expands on Bernard Stiegler’s ‘General Organology’, with an eye to understanding the voice as a dynamic capacity for volition. By exploring the scientific research into voice imaging, the article argues that the voice, as a cultural image, is an imaginary (...)

  • (1 other version)Reflexión crítica frente al neurosexismo.Sonia Reverter-Bañón - 2016 - Pensamiento 72 (273):959-979.
    En el presente escrito se propone revisar los supuestos que guían la práctica neurocientífica al afirmar diferencias sexuales en el cerebro. Tras la constatación de que una gran parte de la investigación y publicación de hallazgos neurocientíficos dan por hecho tal diferencia, encontramos una gran carga de lo que se ha denominado neurosexismo. Como forma de superarlo y desde la teoría feminista y el compromiso político se propone un acercamiento crítico a las neurociencias, que a modo de colaboración reflexiva entre (...)

  • Speaker Responsibility for Synthetic Speech Derived from Neural Activity.Stephen Rainey - 2022 - Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 47 (4):503-515.
    This article provides analysis of the mechanisms and outputs involved in language-use mediated by a neuroprosthetic device. It is motivated by the thought that users of speech neuroprostheses require sufficient control over what their devices externalize as synthetic speech if they are to be thought of as responsible for it, but that the nature of this control, and so the status of their responsibility, is not clear.

  • Correcting the Brain? The Convergence of Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, Psychiatry, and Artificial Intelligence.Stephen Rainey & Yasemin J. Erden - 2020 - Science and Engineering Ethics 26 (5):2439-2454.
    The incorporation of neural-based technologies into psychiatry offers novel means to use neural data in patient assessment and clinical diagnosis. However, an over-optimistic technologisation of neuroscientifically-informed psychiatry risks the conflation of technological and psychological norms. Neurotechnologies promise fast, efficient, broad psychiatric insights not readily available through conventional observation of patients. Recording and processing brain signals provides information from ‘beneath the skull’ that can be interpreted as an account of neural processing and that can provide a basis to evaluate general behaviour (...)

  • Do Brain Decoders Have an Ontological Mind of Their Own? Response to Nikolas Rose.Claus Halberg - 2019 - Body and Society 25 (4):103-120.
    In a recent article published in Body & Society, Nikolas Rose considers what he takes to be possible historical–ontological implications of recent developments in brain-decoding technologies. He argues that such technologies embody the premise that the brain is the real locus of mental states and processes, hence that a new materialist ontology of thought may be in the process of emerging through technological demonstration rather than through philosophical resolution. In this reply, I offer some reasons for being sceptical about such (...)

  • There Is No Brain: Rethinking Neuroscience through a Nomadic Ontology.David R. Gruber - 2019 - Body and Society 25 (2):56-87.
    Building from recent attempts in the humanities and social sciences to conceive of creative, entangled ways of doing interdisciplinary work, I turn to Braidotti’s ‘nomadic ontology’ to (re)vision the human body without a brain. Her exploration of the body as a ‘threshold of transformations’ is put into conversation with Deleuze’s comments on neurobiology to consider what a brainless body might do, or undo, in neuroscientific practice. I ground discussion in a case study, detailing the practices of brain decoding or ‘mind (...)
