SPECIAL EPISODE! (Co)Figurations of Care: Experience and Infrastructure in the Medical Humanities

Unraveling the Anthropocene: Race, Environment, and Pandemic

A special episode featuring LAC's April 2022 roundtable event (Co)Figurations of Care: Experience and Infrastructure in the Medical Humanities, featuring Anna Ulrikke Andersen, MK Czerwiec, and Victoria Lupascu. This roundtable discussed care and its multiple and diverse configurations. Care ranges from looking after a patient, to being attuned to the needs of the self and its surroundings, to reorganizing the built medical environment. Our speakers' work reflects on the biopolitical management of health, medical spatial organization, and personal or fictional narratives of care. How do visual art, architecture, and medical technologies can produce, contest, configure and disseminate spatial and embodied forms of knowledge, and call attention to care? (Moderated by Merve Şen) More information on the event & speakers can be found on the LAC website here.
