    Cyborg Mind : What Brain–Computer and Mind–Cyberspace Interfaces Mean for Cyberneuroethics (2019)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781789201116
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 262 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Cyberneuroethics;Neuronal Network;Neuro;Cyber;Brain-Mind Interface
    Abstract: With the development of new direct interfaces between the human brain and computer systems, the time has come for an in-depth ethical examination of the way these neuronal interfaces may support an interaction between the mind and cyberspace. In so doing, this book does not hesitate to blend disciplines including neurobiology, philosophy, anthropology and politics. It also invites society, as a whole, to seek a path in the use of these interfaces enabling humanity to prosper while avoiding the relevant risks. As such, the volume is the first extensive study in cyberneuroethics, a subject matter which is certain to have a significant impact in the 21st century and beyond.

    Keywords of Mobility : Critical Engagements (2016)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781785331473
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 196 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Worlds in Motion 1
    Keywords: General Mobility Studies
    Abstract: Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond Williams' Keywords (1976), this edited volume presents contributions that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital, cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility, and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a conclusion that proposes future usage or research.

    The Ethics of the New Eugenics (2014)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782381211
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 242 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Medical Anthropology
    Abstract: Strategies or decisions aimed at affecting, in a manner considered to be positive, the genetic heritage of a child in the context of human reproduction are increasingly being accepted in contemporary society. As a result, unnerving similarities between earlier selection ideology so central to the discredited eugenic regimes of the 20th century and those now on offer suggest that a new era of eugenics has dawned. The time is ripe, therefore, for considering and evaluating from an ethical perspective both current and future selection practices. This inter-disciplinary volume blends research from embryology, genetics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and history. In so doing, it constructs a thorough picture of the procedures emerging from today's reproductive developments, including a rigorous ethical argumentation concerning the possible advantages and risks related to the new eugenics.

    Tourism Imaginaries : Anthropological Approaches (2014)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782383680
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 304 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Travel & Tourism
    Abstract: It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, "tourism imaginaries" have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology's grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.
