Transformationen des Populären@sfb1472.uni-siegen.de · 7mo ago

Ein Verbund von 6 Teilprojekten veranstaltet am Donnerstag und Freitag eine zweisprachige Konferenz zum Thema „Partizipation als populäres Versprechen“.

We had a fantastic workshop today with Kate Weiner, Lisa Gerzen & @enricomariapiras.bsky.social! In our Data Sprint, we explored forums where people with obesity, sleep apnoea & ME/CFS discuss tracking devices and (digital) health data. Supported by @sfb1472.uni-siegen.de & funded by @dfg.de.

After introducing this research project via our past publications, we now start an ongoing thread on a key concept in our work: lay expertise. In the weeks ahead, we’ll present classics and brand-new texts we consider central and relevant – and welcome your comments and suggestions! #layexpertise

Spending this very hot day while listening to very cool talks at the symposium "Therapeutic Encounters with Chatbots: The Social and Ethical Implications of Artificial Therapeutic Agents" (www.college-uaruhr.de/news-events/...), organised by @benjaminmarent.bsky.social and Sebastian Merkel. #sts

Last stop on our journey through the archive: In 2021, we explored how "the popular" has changed - from cultural distinction to measurable attention. The German version of the article we posted some weeks ago is available here (Open Access): doi.org/10.2478/kwg-2021-0027 #SFB1472

How have digital tools shaped medicine - from early expert systems to mobile tech? In Digitalisierung und Gesundheit, the anthology we introduced last week, we explore decades of change from a sociotechnical perspective (in German): www.nomos-elibrary.de/10.5771/9783... #sfb1472 #digitalhealth

Looking back at our research, this week’s spotlight is on misophonia, a diagnosis shaped online, where laypeople and experts co-create medical meaning. We illustrate how communities fight for recognition and define illness. Full text (in German): doi.org/10.1007/s412... #sfb1472 #digitalhealth
