Abstract:
Latitudinaria* explores and critiques the ambivalence between current technological progress and the consequently depersonalised social structures and systems. I am using the development from mechanical Automata to mass production juxtaposed to Charlie Chaplin??s film and Jean Tinguelys kinetic art, as examples for the change of the social condition from the industrialisation to the current post-industrial era. The change of social condition I refer to as the ??depersonalisation?? or ??dehumanisation?? effect supported by my working experiences in the health system. The ??medicalisation of the life span?? and the discrepancy of creating a sustainable future less profit orientated are two indicators of how far we have been removed from our bodies. These observations are supported by the writing of Ivan Illich??s Medical Nemesis and Frank Schirrmachers?? analysis of the change of the social structure using the family configuration as an example. These conceptual ideas are visualised by a selection of kinetic art works and video installations. In the heart of this body of work is the process-orientated documentation of Zero AGL project. The project documents the journey of a discarded airplane that was re-assembled and reanimated by myself and a group of volunteers supported by local businesses. The struggle of the group of people stands as a metaphor for the current dilemma of the restricted usage of public space. Further it reflects on my own limitations dealing with the Australian outback culture and the transition of my own sculptural practice from small scale art works into the arena of life size public Art. Those experiences shaped the process and the direction of the project. The motivation for the creation of the body of kinetic sculptures and video installation is to highlight the absurdity of social constructed categories and controlling systems in a post-industrial society. The subject matter focuses on the social construction of the categories of the ??Norm?? and the limitations of failure. Latitudinaria gives the audience a lateral view on how human betterment is not always essentially connected to technological progress but on transforming ideas and enhancing it from a different point of view. * freedom from normal restraints, limitations and regulations.

Abstract:
The author returns to the challenge presented by Ivan Illich in Medical Nemesis, and the concept of iatrogenesis—the inadvertent harm caused by doctors. The dispute over the numbers: is it the third-highest cause of death (after heart disease and cancer)? Or is this an underestimate? Illich’s book should be seen as a call to action. UK GP Dr Marshall Marinker’s response to Illich’s challenge; the flaws in medical training embodied in the unspoken assumptions guiding the clinical behaviour of its teachers. The inherent power imbalance in the doctor–patient consultation. The profession may have misunderstood Illich, but health systems have improved; medical curricula have been rewritten. The role of society in determining how care is provided, and the influence of health systems. New models of practice altering the person–doctor relationship, incorporating self-management (the ‘third way’ of medical practice). The author’s proposed model (the positive health model) empowers patients, as Illich advocated. The role of medical colleges and governments in positive change.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the ways in which slave traders throughout the Atlantic world understood and fought against the diseases that affected them and their human cargoes. It does so by illustrating the risks associated with slave trading expeditions and with the residence in African towns and factories. It also discusses to what extent their understanding and treatment of these diseases were similar to those of the medical officers who confronted them while attempting to stop them. Ultimately, the chapter concludes that slave traders and their accomplices had access to state-of-the-art therapies and to new medicines, just as much as their nemesis in the anti–slave trade patrols did.

Abstract:
In Medical Nemesis - The expropriation of health, IVAN ILLICH highlights several aspects of the medicalization of society, which was already observed in the mid-1970s. He addressed the various forms of iatrogenesis, classifying the new disease caused by the set of medical care as an epidemic that would not exist if there were no medical intervention. Of the various forms of iatrogenesis, he also addressed drug iatrogenesis, including the cause of hospital admissions. In this article, more than 40 years after Illich’s seminal publication, we sought to revisit his thinking and assess the relevance of his narrative regarding the inconveniences resulting from the use of medicines, especially in their impacts on hospitalization, in addition to reflecting on the potential of pharmacogenetics to mitigate adverse events related to drugs that victimize people. After a brief presentation of Illich’s trajectory, a digression is made on the association between the concepts of medicalization and iatrogenesis, to then make quick considerations about social iatrogenesis, considering the effects of this phenomenon on society. After presenting the consequences of iatrogenesis, from a fluent literature review, an update of the findings is made, showing that the problem is relevant today. A brief conceptual presentation of pharmacogenetics is followed by some examples of its clinical consequences. It is concluded that, despite the unequivocal importance of pharmacotherapy, iatrogenesis remains a problem of increasing relevance. Pharmacogenetics presents itself as a possibility to minimize the problem, making it possible to expand its use in the practice of medical services.

Abstract:
In this chapter, we begin to reconstruct Nemesius’ anthropology, beginning with On Human Nature 1. And what we are meant to take from Nemesius’ prologue is something he calls a ‘familiar’ idea: that the world is a divine polity. The Platonic commentator Calcidius seems to have been a rough contemporary of Nemesius’ (and may have been a Syrian). In the first pages of his monumental Timaeus commentary, Calcidius refers to the ‘city or republic of this sensible world’. Nemesius never uses such precise terminology, but there is much to suggest that he structures his treatise with an eye to this archaic, yet philosophically sophisticated world-picture. It is in his prologue, too, that Nemesius sketches his theory of human origins—featuring a bold interpretation of the Fall which seems to turn upon his use of Galen’s medical vocabulary.

Abstract:
In this chapter, on Human Nature 2–5, Nemesius denies that the soul is a body, a harmony, a mixture, or a quality. His cosmopolitan anthropology rests on the conviction that the human soul is an incorporeal and immortal substance. Yet this creates two acute problems for the bishop. First, how is an incorporeal soul united to a body? And second, is it possible for an immortal soul to be united to a non-human body? In settling the first question, Nemesius draws on both Plato and Galen. ‘The body is an instrument of the soul’, he writes. This is a concept which underlies his physiology and psychology. In his handling of the second question, though, Nemesius uses Galen’s medical philosophy to refute Platonic theories of reincarnation. This is a far-reaching decision: it means that Nemesius’ idea of human nature, as such—as an idea—diverges from much of the Platonic tradition in late antiquity.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that the physiological and psychological chapters of Nemesius’ treatise are not random memoranda on the human organism or disjecta membra taken from a range of late-antique sources. On the contrary, it is claimed here that Human Nature 6‒28, where the medical anthropology of the Platonic–Galenic tradition comes to the fore, mark a decisive phase in Nemesius’ argument. The human is defined by the bishop as the only living being which is at once ruler (intellect) and ruled (body). In Human Nature 6‒28, this image of humankind is given an anatomical proof. Nemesius describes the parts of the human body as organs of the soul by means of which—by a divine logic which is obscured, but not negated by injury and pathology—the soul’s government of the body is realized.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 begins with a general introduction to the life and work of the Greek historian Herodotus. This is followed by an analysis of the beginning of Herodotus’ Histories and a discussion of the nature of scholarly historiography in contrast to mythology. A series of individual episodes in Herodotus’ work are explored including the story of Gyges, Solon’s meeting with Croesus, and Polycrates’ inability to escape his fate. The key motif of Nemesis is explored as a levelling principle that cuts down what has grown beyond its allowed limit. Thus rich and powerful figures are consistently subject to a terrible fall in Herodotus’ account. The concept of Nemesis is compared with different accounts of justice that involve a balance between different competing elements. The chapter ends with a brief discussion of Xerxes’ plans to invade Greece and his lament about the finitude of human existence.
