Klappentext zu „Pathology and Technology “
Pathology & Technology is the first comprehensive look at "technopathologies." Since the days of the telegraph, electric communication technologies have been associated with causing or worsening mental and physical illnesses. Today, news reports warn of Pokémon Go deaths and women made vulnerable to sexual assault from wearing headphones. Drawing on an archive of hundreds of cases found across news, entertainment, and other sources over 150 years, this book investigates the intersection of technology and disease through original cultural historiography, focus groups, and discourse analysis, documenting a previously unexplored phenomenon in communication and media. Technopathologies occur with new and old media, the book argues, and are ultimately about people-not machines. They help define users as normal or abnormal, in ways that often align with existing social stereotypes. Courses on technological history, medical humanities, science and technology studies, and medical history will find much here to debate, in a style written to appeal to scholarly as well as popular readers.

Pressezitat
"Pathology & Technology is a fresh and original book-a deeply researched study of how (some) tech users are demonized as diseased. D. Travers Scott traces the media and popular discourses that label some technologies-or really their users-as 'sick'. Mixing history, focus group interviews, and discourse analysis, the book is a rich investigation of how 'technopathologies' emerge and circulate. Pathology & Technology is ultimately a book about invisible politics-about how medicalized tech talk renders and then contains 'bad users.'"-Jeff Pooley, Muhlenberg College; Author of James W. Carey and Communication Research: Reputation at the University's Margins
