This course introduces anthropological approaches to technology and science. It questions strictly technical perspectives by raising issues of power, association, legitimacy and design. A central focus is the ‘cyborg’, a real and imagined meeting-place between the body and technology that has implications for biomedicine, biocommerce, and computers in the present and the future. Prerequisites AN101; Year 3 or Year 4 Anthropology major OR Year 3 or Year 4 honours status in an arts program. Notes 3 lecture hours
