• Long‐Range Transport of Giant Vesicles along Microtubule Networks

  2011

  ChemPhysChem · 34 Zitationen · DOI

  We report on a minimal system to mimic intracellular transport of membrane-bounded, vesicular cargo. In a cell-free assay, purified kinesin-1 motor proteins were directly anchored to the membrane of giant unilamellar vesicles, and their movement studied along two-dimensional microtubule networks. Motion-tracking of vesicles with diameters of 1-3 μm revealed traveling distances up to the millimeter range. The transport velocities were identical to velocities of cargo-free motors. Using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, we were able to estimate the number of GFP-labeled motors involved in the transport of a single vesicle. We found that the vesicles were transported by the cooperative activity of typically 5-10 motor molecules. The presented assay is expected to open up further applications in the field of synthetic biology, aiming at the in vitro reconstitution of sub-cellular multi-motor transport systems. It may also find applications in bionanotechnology, where the controlled long-range transport of artificial cargo is a promising means to advance current lab-on-a-chip systems.

• Rethinking Assistive Technologies: Users, Environments, Digital Media, and App-Practices of Hearing

  2021

  NanoEthics · 25 Zitationen · DOI

  Abstract Against the backdrop of an aging world population increasingly affected by a diverse range of abilities and disabilities as well as the rise of ubiquitous computing and digital app cultures, this paper questions how mobile technologies mediate between heterogeneous environments and sensing beings. To approach the current technological manufacturing of the senses, two lines of thought are of importance: First, there is a need to critically reflect upon the concept of assistive technologies (AT) as artifacts providing tangible solutions for a specific disability. Second, the conventional distinction between user and environment requires a differentiated consideration. This contribution will first review James Gibson’s concept of “affordances” and modify this approach by introducing theories and methods of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Then, we present two case studies where we explore the relations between recent “assistive” app technologies and human sensory perception. As hearing and seeing are key in this regard, we concentrate on two specific media technologies: ReSound LINX 2 , a hearing aid which allows for direct connect (via Bluetooth) with iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, and Camassia, an IOS app for sonic wayfinding for blind people. We emphasize the significance of dis-/abling practices for manufacturing novel forms of hearing and seeing and drawing on sources like promotional materials by manufacturers, ads, or user testimonials and reviews. Our analysis is interested in the reciprocal relationships between users and their socio-technical and media environments. By and large, this contribution will provide crucial insights into the contemporary entanglement of algorithm-driven technologies, daily practices, and sensing subjects: the production of techno-sensory arrangements.

• Broken elevators, temporalities of breakdown, and open data: how wheelchair mobility, social media activism and situated knowledge negotiate public transport systems

  2022

  Mobilities · 9 Zitationen · DOI

  This paper analyzes the significance of disability for urban mobility assemblages by focusing on the uneven encounters of public transport infrastructures, wheelchairs and their users by connecting media studies, STS, and Dis/Ability Studies. The particular focus of this article is how knowledge and lived experiences concerning wheelchair mobility are related to dysfunctional media infrastructure spaces and their translation to social media activism as well as open data practices. In my analysis, I particularly focus on access work by initiatives in Berlin, Germany, towards inclusive mobile technologies and platforms (Elevate Project) and their potential impact on the field of dis/abling mobilities. The analysis suggests that wheelchair mobility is implemented in urban infrastructures of public transportation, where temporalities of broken elevators might emerge as a challenging effect and trigger responses that affect the lived experiences of the drivers. Some of the effects include social media activism and initiatives to build novel forms of knowledge, digital mapping or data processing.

• Das Hören des Cochlea-Implantats

  2014

  Historische Anthropologie · 9 Zitationen · DOI

  The contribution analyses (self-)descriptions of hearing experiences articulated by cochlear implant (CI) users through internet blogs. These auto-medial testimonies (Dünne/Moser) are understood as elements of an individuation process that reciprocally produces the CI-user as well as the CI itself. The analysis therefore focuses on those acoustic effects that are established by the CI, its first activation and the further mapping or adaptation processes as well as early CI-hearing experiences and subsequent listening exercises. It can thus be shown how the cultural practice of hearing/non-hearing is produced within a specific socio-technical arrangement.

• Dis/Abling Video Conferences

  2023

  transcript Verlag eBooks · 5 Zitationen · DOI

  This article addresses the question of access to video conferencing from the different perspectives of crip techno-science (Hamraie and Fritsch 2019), media ethnography, design theory, and the politics of inclusion during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.First, we describe a situation where a blind user and his sighted work assistant create access to a basically inaccessible online conferencing system via several workarounds.This example confronts the two different sensory-technical perspectives of both involved and diverse actors.In the second example, which is even more complex than the first one, a team of variously disabled employees who are blind, deaf or hard of hearing, and non-disabled colleagues and work assistants work out a branched path through a partially inaccessible video conferencing software.One of the team's work sessions we recorded serves as empirical material for the subsequent media and autoethnographic analyses.The focus is on the intertwined loops of interaction and communication between diverse sensory repertoires, technical tools, and social negotiation processes, which all together create a highly complex network of sensorysocio-technical dimensions.The paper analyses the two examples of circumventing "restricted access" (Ellcessor 2016) and shows how social negotiation processes attempt to construct hacks and workarounds that undermine or circumvent technologically inaccessible solutions for those that do not correspond to the so-called preferred user (Ellcessor 2016, 77; Ellis, Kao and Bitman 2020, 17).While those workarounds, detours, or shortcuts represent a temporary, socially and technologically conceivable solution, they nevertheless demand a great deal of time and organizational work (Schabacher 2017).A screen reader-ready website, revised screen reader logic, or a screen reader-accessible sharing function (example 1), as well as the efforts trying to synchronize spoken and written as well as heard and read language in distributed remote communication (example 2), are just two concrete examples that, on the one hand, demand improved design.Thus, another perspective, that of design theory, comes into play.Participatory, cocreative, and codesigned processes become meaningful on their Sighted Point of ViewSome days before the Festival, Siegfried Saerberg and I have registered and signed up on the UFF platform and done some pretesting to get comfortable with it.How-1 https://festival.hfd.digital/en/archive/universityfuture-festival-2021/festival.

• The Holy and the Daemonic from Sir Thomas Browne to William Blake

  1982

  Princeton University Press eBooks · 5 Zitationen · DOI

  Focusing particularly on literary texts, but including biographical and intellectual background, this study examines numinous feeling as it is recorded by a number of seventeenth and eighteenth-century writers: Browne, Drydcn, Pascal; Pope and Swift; Hume and Johnson; eight other poets, including Watts, Smart, Cowper, and Blake; and four novelists, including Richardson, Radcliffe, and Monk" Lewis. Professor Stock demonstrates that the Enlightenment was far more complicated than can be grasped by an exclusive focus on its rationalism and skepticism. Originally published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

• Sonic e-mobility: traffic noise, sound-producing electric vehicles, and blind pedestrians

  2025

  Mobilities · 4 Zitationen · DOI

  This article is situated at the intersection of mobility studies, sound studies, and critical disability studies. It centers on the sonic qualities of electric mobility which have changed the urban sound environment. The analysis highlights how associations of the blind have advocated against silent cars. The debate around sound-producing cars is described with regard to three different but related areas. First, I consider how traffic noise is framed as a health hazard, whereas electric vehicles (EVs) incorporate a possible solution to the current noise levels in urban environments despite posing a threat to pedestrian safety. While questioning the positive characteristics ascribed to EVs, I then turn to traffic noise as a productive factor for blind as well as sighted pedestrians’ mobility. This leads me to consider the recently established regulation for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) in EVs and scrutinize the sonic dimension of EVs. Thirdly, synthetic car noise will be analyzed as an innovative component of contemporary sound design and marketing strategies. Consequently, unraveling the co-constitution of blind walking, sonic productions, and electric mobility allows me to emphasize how a just future politics of (auto)mobility necessarily has to consider the senses of pedestrians in their heterogeneous variability.

• Access and tinkering: designing assistive technologies as political practice–A discussion with Zeynep Karagöz, Thomas Miebach and Daniel Wessolek

  2022

  Journal of Enabling Technologies · 4 Zitationen · DOI

  Purpose This contribution shows perspectives of experts from different disciplines and professional backgrounds in order to elaborate on maker approaches such as do-it-yourself prosthetics and collaborative tools. As a result, aspects of open source practices related to medical and assistive technologies will be critically reflected upon. In addition, implications of heterogeneous interests, economic implications and everyday achievements of social material assemblages produced through participatory design research are discussed. Design/methodology/approach In order to address an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective on the relationships between body (differences) and technology, it is necessary to bring together studies from both Science and Technology Studies (STS) and crip technoscience as well as approaches from participatory design research and practice. This challenge was addressed by a roundtable organized as part of the third network meeting of the Dis/Ability and Digital Media Research Network on 16 September 2020. Findings Against the backdrop of “crip technoscience” DIY and collaborative open source practices are not only understood as valuable alternatives to standardized medical prosthetics and assistive devices. These bottom-up approaches which draw from the expert knowledge of disabled users (Hamraie and Fritsch, 2019) also facilitate devices that defy categories such as “prosthetic” or “medical aid” not only aesthetically but semantically, too. Originality/value The Network Dis/Abilities and Digital Media intends to integrate media and technology studies with disability studies on a theoretical level. This round table discussion delivers proof of how – on the practical level – technology and dis/ability need to be thought of as relational and co-constitutive (Mills and Sterne, 2017).

• Mobilität und Tuning-Prozesse. Zur Reorganisation materiell-sensorischer Praktiken blinder Fußgänger:innen durch digitale Medien

  2022

  Zeitschrift für Empirische Kulturwissenschaft · 3 Zitationen · DOI

  The mobility of blind people with long canes is currently increasingly reorganised by elements such as smartphones, voice output, apps or headphones and in this respect represents a digital media practice that requires learning, practice and a knowledge-based coordination of simultaneous practices, bodily techniques and heterogeneous things. This paper explores this form of mobility and elaborates its distributed sensory character. Locomotion flanked by long canes, smartphones and headphones is described with Pickering (1995) as a tuning process that is situated and practically produced and proves to be constitutive for the production of urban space in terms of urban practices.

• Celebrity Translation in British Theatre

  2020

  Bloomsbury Academic eBooks · 3 Zitationen · DOI

  "This book explores the impact that high-profile and well-known translators have on audience reception of translated theatre. Using Relevance Theory as a framework, the book demonstrates how prior knowledge of a celebrity translator's contextual background can affect the spectator's cognitive state and influence their interpretation of the play. Three canonical plays adapted for the British stage are analysed: Mark Ravenhill's translation of Life of Galileo by Bertolt Brecht, Roger McGough's translation of Tartuffe by Molir̈e and Simon Stephens' translation of A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. Drawing on interviews, audience feedback, reviews, blogs and social media posts, Stock examines the extent to which audiences infer the celebrity translator's own voice from their translations. In doing so, he adds new perspectives to the long-standing debate on the visibility of the translator in both the process of translating and the reception of the translation. Celebrity Translation in British Theatre offers an original approach to theatre translation that sheds light on the culture of celebrity and its capacity to attract new audiences to plays in translation."

• Dundo, Memória Colonial: A postcolonial return and the documentary politics of history

  2018

  Journal of African Cinemas · 2 Zitationen · DOI

  This article presents an analysis of the documentary film Dundo, Memória Colonial (‘Dundo, colonial memory’) (2009) by the Portuguese journalist Diana Andringa. In the first section, I will inscribe Andringa’s film within the wider context of filmic geographies of return. Sections two and three address the multifaceted ways in which colonial Dundo is remembered in Portugal by former settlers and in Angola by former African workers as presented by the film. The fourth section of the article analyses a more personal memory of Dundo that is also developed in this film as the director herself spent her childhood in Dundo. I will conclude that Dundo offers fragmented visions of the past that have to be confronted and discussed in a shared Afro-Portuguese filmic framework. As nostalgic and critical ways of remembering the past are confronted in the film, the documentary proposes that remembering the past is always ambivalent and connected to specific politics of history.

• Singing Altogether Now: Unsettling Images of Disability and Experimental Filmic Practices

  2017

  Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2 Zitationen · DOI

  Conventional representations of disability on television and in documentary films often emphasise ‘pity’ or stage their characters as ‘supercrips’. Only a few productions provide alternative framings of disability. Such films can be conceived as a kind of experimental system through which established knowledge about disability can be unsettled. To demonstrate this, this chapter analyses the Singing Lesson by Artur Żmijewski, a video installation interlacing experimentally deaf singing and religious choirs, and Freakstars 3000 by Christoph Schlingensief, a TV docusoap that modifies conceptions of intellectual disability by mocking television casting and reality formats. Both productions open up a space for media participation that creates ambiguity while refusing to give a simple answer to the question of how to model a concept of ‘inclusive art’ or media.

• Translations of Blind Perception in the Films Monika (2011) and Antoine (2008)

  2013

  InVisible Culture · 2 Zitationen · DOI

  Against the backdrop of these works, we propose an analysis of films with and about blind or visually disabled individuals that aims at exploring different modes of world perception. In our view, such an examination should not only discuss the question of “giving voice” and visibility to those who were formerly only represented in or by the media, or the fact that films belonging to what might be considered a “new disability documentary cinema” are dedicated to the experience of disability from the point of view of those who deal with it. Rather, we examine films that do not restrict their field of vision to institutional context as cultural productions. These films allow the viewer to get to know different practices of seeing in the daily life of both blind or visually disabled and sighted people. In approaching these productions, we are interested in focusing on how the audio-visual regimes produce and structure our visual experience, translate it into a filmic grammar and thus not only create filmic patterns of blind perception but, at the same time, the cinematographic aesthetic of a so-called normal sightedness.

• More-than-Forests: Toxicity, Healing and the Politics of Learning with Brazil’s Urban Mangroves

  2026

  Australian Journal of Environmental Education · 1 Zitationen · DOI

  Abstract This paper contributes to the emerging field of forest pedagogies by foregrounding mangroves as critical sites for learning with more-than-human entanglements in polluted worlds. Engaging with planetary strategies of corresponding, evidencing and circulating, we approach mangroves as complex, contested and vital ecotones. We explore how mangroves invite pedagogical attention to the lived realities of toxicity, urbanisation and forms of contamination in the emergence of the Anthropocene. We conceptualise mangroves as “unruly edges” that unsettle binary distinctions between forest and estuary, fresh and saline waters and call for an estimation, historisation and analyses of interspecies entanglements. This position grounds a critical pedagogical project of “riparian struggles,” fostering mutual learning among river-zone inhabitants across planetary contexts. Through a case study in the Guanabara Bay region of Rio de Janeiro, we present filmmaking as a threefold tactic that (1) situates mangrove struggles within broader historical geographies, (2) supports community-based and student learning with contaminated ecologies and (3) circulates tactics of mangrove struggles across academic, educational and public spheres. Ultimately, we propose mangroves as more-than-human classrooms where practices of habitability with toxicity can be cultivated, unsettling paradigms of ecological purity and expanding forest imaginaries within the field of Critical Forest Studies.
