Digitalization and computerization are now pervasive in science.
This has deep consequences for our understanding of scientific
knowledge and of the scientific process, and challenges
longstanding assumptions and traditional frameworks of thinking of
scientific knowledge. Digital media and computational processes
challenge our conception of the way in which perception and
cognition work in science, of the objectivity of science, and the
nature of scientific objects. They bring about new relationships
between science, art and other visual media, and new ways of
practicing science and organizing scientific work, especially as
new visual media are being adopted by science studies scholars in
their own practice. This volume reflects on how scientists use
images in the computerization age, and how digital technologies are
affecting the study of science.

Postphenomenological Investigations: Essays on Human-Technology
Relations provides an introduction to the school of thought called
postphenomenology and showcases projects at the cutting edge of
this perspective. Postphenomenology presents a unique blend of
insights from the philosophical traditions of phenomenology and
American pragmatism, and applies them to studies of user relations
to technologies. These studies provide deep descriptions of the
ways technologies transform our abilities, augment our experience,
and shape the world around us. This book proceeds with a preface by
Don Ihde, postphenomenology's founder, and a detailed review of the
main ideas of this perspective by the editors Robert Rosenberger
and Peter-Paul Verbeek. The body of this volume is composed of
twelve postphenomenological essays which reflect the expansive
range, detail-orientation, and interdisciplinarity of this school
of thought. These essays confront a broad assortment of topics,
both abstract and concrete. Abstract topics addressed include
metaphysics, ethics, methodology, and analysis of the notions of
selfhood, skill training, speed, and political activism. Just a few
of the concrete topics studied include human-like interactive
robots, ethics education, image interpretation in radiology,
science fiction tropes, transportation history, wearable computing,
and organ donation protocols for brain-dead bodies. The volume
concludes with constructive critiques of postphenomenology by
Andrew Feenberg, Diane Michelfelder, and Albert Borgmann, all
figures whose work is relevant to postphenomenological projects.
