Following Facial Recognition Technologies Across Social Worlds
Facial recognition technologies (FRTs) are increasingly the subject of public debate, yet qualitative research that follows contemporary controversies around them remains fragmented and often limited to single sites or perspectives. This article presents the study protocol for fAIces ( Facial Recognition Technologies. Etho-Assemblages and Alternative Futures ), an Advanced Grant funded by the European Research Council using a multi-sited, multi-v…
Illness Narratives in AI-Generated Images
An evolving technology – artificial intelligence (AI) image generators – is engendering a new variant of illness narratives that calls into question the assertions made about their connections with preceding forms of art and image-making. The social sciences must interrogate and analyse the changes brought about by this technology, developing a comprehensive theory on the embeddedness of AI-generated images in illness experiences and narratives, …
Faces of the tropics
This paper investigates 'AI refusal' by analysing how colonial and racialised logics inform the surveillance and representation of Mexicans through facial recognition technologies. Blending conventional academic analysis with a fictional vignette and a visual triptych, the paper offers a creative-critical approach to resistance. The vignette evokes the emotional and embodied impacts of surveillance, while the triptych employs visual metaphors to …
Witchcraft and Cancer in the Narrative of a Portuguese Woman
An 83-year-old Portuguese cancer survivor and amputee structures her illness narrative around the etiology of an upper limb's sarcoma, pointing to witchcraft as the root of her malignancy, through a prayer spoken by a neighbor. This is not a self-explanatory claim, since she must have the ability to blend the principles of a naturalistic thought - disrupted cells - with the supernatural, but with such a logical robustness that it can make sense t…
The chairs of hereditary cancer
Using scientific illustration, this article aims to examine how time is experienced, understood, and managed in hereditary malignancies, analysing the breast cancer story of a Portuguese woman with BRCA1/2 mutations. Blending lived experience, anthropology, and art, this text results from a transdisciplinary qualitative exercise, incorporating embodied knowledge, speech, and creative ethnographic drawing at the core of the research, using them as…
As cadeiras do cancro hereditário
Dando uso à ilustração científica, este texto tem como objetivo compreender a forma como o tempo é vivido, compreendido e gerido na doença oncológica hereditária, analisando a estória de cancro da mama de uma mulher Portuguesa portadora de mutações BRCA1/2. Desdobrado entre experiência vivida, antropologia e arte, este texto resulta de um exercício qualitativo transdisciplinar, introduzindo os saberes do corpo, a palavra dita e o desenho etnográf…
(Un)stitching the Memory and the Story of a Melanoma
The visual essay and triptych “Erase the past; It’s over; Move on” is the result of an anthropological analysis of the cancer experience of a Portuguese woman, “Violeta”, whose story is told by her daughter “Flor”, thirty years after her death. Blending embodied knowledge, oral narrative, anthropology and scientific illustration, enhanced by metaphor and imagination, the use of creative ethnographic drawing gives a shape to the undivided processe…
