Apprendre à regarder le cerveau en 3D. Compte rendu ethnographique d’un séminaire interdisciplinaire au service de neurochirurgie de la Charité à Berlin
Abstract
In this field report, I describe a series of scenes from an interdisciplinary seminar at the Charité Medical School in Berlin, entitled: “Iconic Turn—How Images Govern Our Actions.” Through a series of “ethno-graphic” drawings, I depict the teaching situations, showing the atmospheres they are imbued with. During these sessions, students are invited to learn how to “see” images of the brain, taking into account their technical mediations. The “professional vision” (Goodwin, 1994) of this training is coupled with the educational aim to develop a critical eye. Aspiring physicians learn to put into perspective, literally and figuratively, the images they will be exposed to in their daily practice—as well as the role of these images as a prescriptive tool in clinical practice. This unusual pedagogical approach seems to open the way to the constitution of a “common sense” in the epistemology of medical sciences (Stengers, 2017).
