Engaging readers with the ways that visualization technologies are crafted, used and imbued with meaning, Technologized Images, Technologized Bodies asks how ethnography can explore the issues that arise at the interface between the body and technology. The central themes of the book are how the body is 'mediated, imaged and imagined' in an increasingly digital era, and how new forms of data production and visualization give rise to new forms of embodiment, sociality and power. In their introduction, the editors situate these topics amongst other anthropological investigations of how changes in subjectivity are linked to developments in the biological and informational sciences, referring to seminal works by Paul Rabinow, Nikolas Rose, Donna Harraway and Michel Foucault.
