  1. NB If you go back and listen to #TheDaleksMasterPlan because of #SaraKingdom (pod 50), even without the benefit of recently unearthed video, the #revisit is, shall we say, rather short, as was often the case in the early days of my #ClassicDoctorWho revisit.

  3. [Publication] Hacking the Disease: Salvatore Iaconesiโ€™s Sense-Making Quest for an Open-Source Cure for Cancer

    The volume 3 n. 2 (2024) of the academic journal Re:visit โ€“ Humanities and Medicine in Dialogue has just been published. Based at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, the journal participates in the international debate within Medical Humanities, with articles in German and English. In this last volume, edited by Katharina Fรผrholzer, Julia Prรถll and Maria Heidegger, you can find my article โ€œHacking the Disease: Salvatore Iaconesiโ€™s Sense-Making Quest for an Open-Source Cure for Cancerโ€œ.

    The article focuses on an analysis of the performance La Cura, by Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico, with the goal of highlighting the deep implications of their work in the effort of rethinking the relationship between culture, society, technology and biology, a task more necessary than ever in our digital societies.

    Here is the abstract:

    The experience of illness, as narrated by those who suffer from it, can provide significant insight for medical and health professionals, helping them to understand what their patient is going through, from a psychological and existential point of view. These narratives can also help to bridge the distance between science and experience, and to heal the gap that divides the sick person from the rest of society. The work that Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico have done with their performance La cura (The cure) โ€“ started when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012 โ€“ takes this kind of narrative and selfreflexive experience even further, in order to explore the relationship between culture, technology and biology, with the aim of redefining the meaning of cure (and, consequently, of illness and health) in a collective and inclusive way. La cura can thus be seen as a piece of work that, by belonging to the Medical Humanities, can also take a step forward in building a theoretical and practical dialogue between different disciplines in order to respond to the challenges of our digital (and biotechnological) society.

  4. A quotation from Davies, Robertson:

    ยซ
    A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity, and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
