In Attachments to War Jennifer Terry traces how biomedical logics entangle Americans in a perpetual state of war. Focusing on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars between 2002 and 2014, Terry identifies the presence of a biomedicine-war nexus in which new forms of wounding provoke the continual development of complex treatment, rehabilitation, and prosthetic technologies. At the same time, the U.S. military rationalizes violence and military occupation as necessary conditions for advancing medical knowledge and saving lives. Terry examines the treatment of war-generated polytrauma, postinjury bionic prosthetics design, and the development of defenses against infectious pathogens, showing how the interdependence between war and biomedicine is interwoven with neoliberal ideals of freedom, democracy, and prosperity. She also outlines the ways in which military-sponsored biomedicine relies on racialized logics that devalue the lives of Afghan and Iraqi citizens and U.S. veterans of color. Uncovering the mechanisms that attach all Americans to war and highlighting their embeddedness and institutionalization in everyday life via the government, media, biotechnology, finance, and higher education, Terry helps lay the foundation for a more meaningful opposition to war.

Die Studie nimmt die Prothese als ein höchst unterschiedliche Wissensgebiete tangierendes Phänomen in den Blick, der es schließlich erlaubt, von ihr als Insignie einer lädierten Moderne zu sprechen. Ausgehend vom amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg, dessen hohe Opferzahlen historisch der Entwicklung und [noch manufakturellen] Prothesenproduktion einen enormen Schub verlieh, unterzieht die Autorin die Prothetik nicht nur einer sozio- und technikhistorischen Lektüre, sondern auch einer Analyse der damit verbundenen Bildpolitiken, die schwankten zwischen Verbergen [der Versehrung] und Vorzeigen [ihrer mechanischen Qualitäten]. Die Prothetik des späten 19. Jahrhunderts wandelt sich zu einer phantasmatischen Technik. Prothesen wurden zu Waren, die zwischen Mode und Technik changierten und ein großes Bedeutungsspektrum auf sich versammelten. Als Sozialtechnik sollten sie den entstehenden Konsumkapitalismus stabilisieren, als Bilder regten sie Technofetischismus an [Jules Vernes holzbein- und armprothesenbewehrte Mondfahrer], und im frühen Film erhielten sie die Qualität des Unheimlichen. Mit dem Ersten Weltkrieg und seiner industriellen Destruktionswucht wurde nicht nur die Prothetik selbst industrialisiert, sondern zum epistemologischen, politischen und ästhetischen Unruheherd. Konzipiert von Medizin, Technik und Politik als bio- und bildpolitische Maßnahme, sollte sie die Kriegsbeschädigten wieder dienst- bzw. arbeitsfähig machen, gleichzeitig das Verlorene verbergen. Spätestens mit Kriegsende jedoch figurierte die Prothese als Allegorie einer zerbrochenen Moderne: angesichts der Massenversehrung kippte die Wunde vom Mal des Heroischen ins Stigma. Zwei Detailstudien zu Dadaismus und Brecht zeigen, wie im Zuge dieser Entwicklung prothetische Figuren in ästhetische Verfahren [Montage, Collage] einwanderten. Schließlich rückt die Autorin die diagnostische Verwendung prothetischer Figuren in den Fokus und zeigt, mit welchen Akzenten und Zielen die Prothesen-Metaphorik in spekulativen und theoretischen Texten verwendet wurde: Gleich ob Freuds 'Prothesengott', Plessners 'Prothesen-Proteus' oder in Adornos Schrecken über Harold Russels kalte Klaue - all diese Figur[ation]en sind Varianten einer 'prothetischen Anthropologie', die sich durch Gestalttheorie, Anthropologie und Biologie bis in die folgenreiche Medientheorie McLuhans fortpflanzten.

Das "Lehrbuch der Zahntechnik" von Hohmann/Hielscher gilt als Standardwerk für die Ausbildung an Berufs- und Meisterschulen.

Bioengineering is attracting many high quality students. This invaluable book has been written for beginning students of bioengineering, and is aimed at instilling a sense of engineering in them.Engineering is invention and designing things that do not exist in nature for the benefit of humanity. Invention can be taught by making inventive thinking a conscious part of our daily life. This is the approach taken by the authors of this book. Each author discusses an ongoing project, and gives a sample of a professional publication. Students are asked to work through a sequence of assignments and write a report. Almost everybody soon realizes that more scientific knowledge is needed, and a strong motivation for the study of science is generated. The teaching of inventive thinking is a new trend in engineering education. Bioengineering is a good field with which to begin this revolution in engineering education, because it is a youthful, developing interdisciplinary field.
