“Those eyes that look at you
In the advanced stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), individuals experience a gradual and irreversible loss of speech and voluntary movement, while cognitive and emotional capacities often remain largely preserved. ALS frequently culminates in the locked-in state (LIS), where subjectivity endures despite an almost complete breakdown of expressive capacity. This article examines how professional caregivers sustain relational engagement a…
Ethics and regulatory compliance in the human sciences
Scholars in the human sciences, particularly anthropology, have long perceived tensions between ethical concerns and the demands of regulatory compliance emanating from institutional research ethics committees. This article focuses on anthropologists' writings about such tensions, up to and including discussions of the 2016 European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It does not assess whether their "complaints" are well-founded, or exami…
Quedará la antropología fuera de la ley? La investigación frente a los comités de ética y al reglamento general de protección de datos
Los antropólogos vienen cuestionando los Comités de Ética de la Investigación (CEI) desde que estos comenzaron a institucionalizarse en los años 1970 en los Estados Unidos. El cuestionamiento de fondo es epistémico y moral: los CEI toman como modelo al ensayo clínico biomédico y, en la práctica, reducen la ética al reglamento. En los años 60, la 'ética' en la antropología evocaba temas de responsabilidad social; hoy significa en gran medida cumpl…
The lockdown of the locked-in
Effects of COVID-19 lockdown for people with disabilities have been examined in the social and health sciences regarding both access to health and caregiving services, and their personal experiences. This article adds to such scholarship by investigating the lived experience of the lockdown in persons diagnosed with Locked-in Syndrome (LIS) by drawing on testimonies of confinement provided between March and June 2020 by members of the French Lock…

Brainhood, Anthropological Figure of Modernity
Если личность (personhood) 1 -это качество или состояние, позволяющее быть отдельным лицом, то церебральностью (brainhood) можно назвать качество или состояние, позволяющее быть мозгом. Через это онтоло гическое качество определяется «церебральный субъект», получивший, по крайней мере, в индустриально развитых и высокомедикализирован-ных обществах, множество социальных описаний начиная с середины ХХ века. В статье исследуется историческое развити…

The 'way of flowers' and the care of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Japan
Tracheostomy with invasive ventilation (TIV) may be required for the survival of patients at advanced stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In Japan it has been shown that a proactive approach toward TIV may prolong the survival of ALS patients by over 10 years by preventing the lethal respiratory failure that generally occurs within 3-5 years of the onset of the disease. Measures to prolong life expectancy without foregoing quality of l…

Accuracy, Authenticity, Fidelity
Argument “Deficit model” designates an outlook on the public understanding and communication of science that emphasizes scientific illiteracy and the need to educate the public. Though criticized, it is still widespread, especially among scientists. Its persistence is due not only to factors ranging from scientists’ training to policy design, but also to the continuance of realism as an aesthetic criterion. This article examines the link between …

What makes neuroethics possible
Since its emergence in the early 2000s, neuroethics has become a recognized, institutionalized and professionalized field. A central strategy for its successful development has been the claim that it must be an autonomous discipline, distinct in particular from bioethics. Such claim has been justified by the conviction, sustained since the 1990s by the capabilities attributed to neuroimaging technologies, that somehow ‘the mind is the brain’, tha…

Desire, indefinite lifespan, and transgenerational brains in literature and film
Even before the brain’s deterioration became a health problem of pandemic proportions, literature and film rehearsed the fiction of brain transplantations that would allow an aging person to inhabit a younger body, so that successive surgeries may result in that person’s immortality. Such fiction makes the brain operate like an immaterial soul that does not undergo physical decline. This article examines that fiction as elaborated in Hanif Kureis…

Frankenstein's Brain
Frankenstein’s Brain:“The Final Touch” Fernando Vidal (bio) From the classic Frankenstein of 1931 to Matrix (1999), which offers a version of the philosophical fable of the brain in a vat (Chalmers) and on to Self/less (2015), in which the consciousness of a dying tycoon is transferred to a younger man’s body, cinema has variously explored the relationship between personhood and the body by means of fictions concerning the brain and its contents.…
Culture
Since the 1990s, several disciplines have emerged at the interface between neuroscience and the social and human sciences. For the most part, they aim at capturing the commonalities that underlay the heterogeneity of human behaviors and experiences. Neuroanthropology and cultural neuroscience, or the "neurodisciplines of culture," appear different, since their goal is to understand specificity rather than commonality and to address how cultural d…
Brains in Literature/Literature in the Brain
Since the 1990s, several disciplines, from neuroanthropology to neurotheology, have emerged at the interface between neuroscience and the social and human sciences. These "neurodisciplines" share basic assumptions about the brain/mind relationship, a preference for neuroimaging methodology, and the goal of establishing the neurobiological foundations of mind and behavior. A neural turn has also been taken in some quarters within the literary fiel…

Brainhood, anthropological figure of modernity
If personhood is the quality or condition of being an individual person, "brainhood" could name the quality or condition of being a brain. This ontological quality would define the "cerebral subject" that has, at least in industrialized and highly medicalized societies, gained numerous social inscriptions since the mid-20th century. This article explores the historical development of brainhood. It suggests that the brain is necessarily the locati…

La place de la psychologie dans l'ordre des sciences
L'histoire de la psychologie en tant que discipline autonome comporte non seulement des développements méthodologiques et institutionnels, mais aussi l'élaboration du concept même de psychologie et des représentations de sa place dans l'ordre des sciences. Si de telles représentations ne détenninent pas la constitution du champ professionnel ou la pratique concrète du psychologue, elles n'en expriment pas moins des idéaux épistémologiques et refl…
Darwinism and developmental psychology
This article first examines the way in which early developmental psychologists interpreted and modified Darwin's original insights in the direction of both recapitulation and organic selection. It then examines some of the scientific and extrascientific factors that led the young Piaget to reject Darwinism. Finally, it notices that, in spite of their fundamental differences vis-à-vis Darwinian evolutionary theory, the early developmental psycholo…

“I would eagerly leave Neuch??tel…” a 1912 letter by Jean Piaget with an introduction and notes
A 1912 letter from fifteen-year-old Jean Piaget (1896-1980) to the director of the Museum of Natural History of Geneva illustrates Piaget's precocious integration into a community of professional naturalists, and reveals his hitherto unknown plan to study medicine. It is not certain whether he actually intended to realize that plan. An essential biographical fact, however, is that he finally left natural history by turning to philosophy rather th…

Psyche and Soma
At the outset, the editors of this splendid collection of essays remark that "[f]ew subjects have stimulated a more intensive intellectual interchange among physicians and philosophers than the nature of the human soul and its relationship to [End Page 591] the body" (p. 1). It would be a mistake, however, to expect a neat division between "physicians and philosophers," or a linear story about a unique question, culminating in the late-eighteenth…

Mapping the Cerebral Subject in Contemporary Culture
The research reported here aims at mapping the "cerebral subject" in contemporary society. The term "cerebral subject" refers to an anthropological figure that embodies the belief that human beings are essentially reducible to their brains. Our focus is on the discourses, images and practices that might globally be designated as "neuroculture." From public policy to the arts, from the neurosciences to theology, humans are often treated as reducib…

Le discours de la méthode dans la psychologie des Lumières
Au XVIII e siècle, avant même que l'on mette systématiquement en œuvre le genre de pratiques d'observation et d'expérimentation supposées propres à la « psychologie scientifique », il existe un discours méthodologique et des débats sur la méthode qui fonctionnent comme mécanismes constitutifs de la discipline, façonnent une image de ce qu'elle doit être, définissent des idéaux épistémiques et suggèrent des démarches et des voies à suivre. Ces dis…
