\u201cIn my research, I deal with technologies for human bodies and explore the question of how technologically enhanced bodies are (re)interpreted. Do they appear to us as deficient or progressive? Are they understood as human or transhuman? How are different interpretations of the body produced? How do interpretations of the body vary according to context? My objects of investigation include wearables, exoskeletons, prostheses and implants. In my doctoral dissertation, I am specifically interested in media representations of technologically augmented bodies. Using PR representations of technology manufacturers and self-portrayals of users, I reconstruct which norms are conveyed in the idealized representations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section><\/div>\n\n\n\n
