Existing IT-systems are considered incompatible with healthcare work, despite of Swedish investments in digital development in healthcare. Practices and the use of digital artefacts within an elder care home was therefore studied. Through an ethnographic qualitative method (consisting of field studies, video ethnography and interviews), the empirically driven study identified the healthcare workers existing interactions with- and use of digital technology, as well as the consequences that the use entailed. The study showed that the healthcare workers used the workplace’s existing digital technology as well as personal digital artefacts to solve daily tasks. Furthermore, the results showed that the healthcare workers interactions with personal digital artefacts mediated new work situations, and the healthcare workers desire for new digital work tools. / Inom äldreomsorgen finns ett behov av digital teknik som kan effektivisera omsorgsarbetet, eftersom den äldre befolkningen i samhället ökar. Trots Sveriges satsningar på digital utveckling inom vård- och omsorg, har det visat sig att personal inte anser att befintliga IT-system är kompatibla med vård- och omsorgsarbetet. Därför studerades praktiker och användning av digitala artefakter på ett vård- och omsorgsboende. Genom etnografisk kvalitativ metod (i form av fältstudier, videoetnografi och intervjuer) identifierade den empiriskt drivna studien personalens befintliga interaktioner med- och användning av digital teknik, samt de konsekvenser användningen medförde. Resultatet visade även att personalen använde arbetsplatsens befintliga digitala teknik, samt personliga digitala artefakter för att lösa dagliga arbetsuppgifter. Vidare visade studien att personalens interaktioner med personliga digitala hjälpmedel medierade nya situationer i arbetet och att personalen önskade nya digitala arbetsverktyg.

Its main focus was to produce a video and a series of photographs in conjunction with indigenous teachers,and from this experience relate ethnographic video with shamanism, witchcraft and cannibalism. To discuss this relationship I insert here two basic concepts that still need development, which are shamanism imagery and cannibal ism imagery, these have been buil twith thread as information obtained during my field work and some ethnographies conducted by other researchers-along-the indigenous peoples who are in Brazil. My main theoret ical references are visual anthropology,theories and concepts of documentary filmmaking,as well as some concepts of ethnology as the Amerindian perspectivism. / Este trabalho é uma etnografia da licenciatura intercultural indígena da UFG, curso que visa fornecer uma formação superior aos professores e professoras indígenas que já atuam como tais em suas aldeias. O seu principal foco foi a produção de um vídeo e uma série de fotografias em conjunto com professores indígenas, e a partir dessa experiência relaciono o vídeo etnográfico com o xamanismo, canibalismo e feitiçaria. Para discutir essa relação insiro aqui dois conceitos básicos, que ainda carecem de desenvolvimento, que são xamanismo imagético e canibalismo imagético, estes foram construídos tendo como fio condutor as informações colhidas durante o meu trabalho de campo e algumas etnografias realizadas - por outros pesquisadores - junto a povos indígenas que estão no Brasil . As minhas principais referências teóricas são a antropologia visual, as teorias e conceitos do cinema documentário, bem como alguns conceitos da etnologia indígena como o perspectivismo ameríndio.

13	Virtual reality and the clinic: an ethnographic study of the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (The CAREN Research Study) Perry, Karen-Marie Elah 26 April 2018 (has links) At the Ottawa Hospital in Ontario, Canada, clinicians use full body immersion virtual reality to treat a variety of health conditions, including: traumatic brain injuries, post- traumatic stress disorder, acquired brain injuries, complex regional pain syndrome, spinal cord injuries, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and lower limb amputations. The system is shared between military and civilian patient populations. Viewed by clinicians and the system’s designers as a value neutral medical technology, clinical virtual reality’s sights, sounds, movements, and smells reveal cultural assumptions about universal patient experiences. In this dissertation I draw from reflexive feminist research methodologies, visual anthropology and sensory ethnography in a hospital to centre the body in current debates about digital accessibility in the 21st Century. 40 in-depth interviews with practitioners and patients, 210 clinical observations, and film and photography ground research participant experiences in day-to-day understandings of virtual reality at the hospital. In this dissertation I address an ongoing absence of the body as a site of analytical attention in anthropological studies of virtual reality. While much literature in the social sciences situates virtual reality as a ‘post-human’ technology, I argue that virtual reality treatments are always experienced, resisted and interpreted through diverse body schemata. Furthermore, virtual reality cannot be decoupled from the sensitivities, socialities and politics of particular bodies in particular places and times. The Ottawa Hospital’s Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system features a digitally enhanced walk-in chamber, treadmills on hydraulic pistons, surround sound audio, advanced graphics and user feedback utilizing force plates and a dynamic infrared motion capture system. The CAREN system utilizes hardware and software reliant on specific assumptions about human bodies. For example, these assumptions are echoed in depictions of race, gender, class, and indigeneity. Patients using virtual reality technologies can experience more than one disability or health condition at a time, further disrupting the idea of universal user experiences. As clinicians and patients confront the limitations of body normativity in the CAREN system’s interface design, they improvise, resist, and experience virtual reality in ways that defy design agendas, ultimately shaping patient treatments and unique paths to healing and health. / Graduate anthropology anthropology of the body anti-oppressive medicine CAREN computing cultural anthropology digital digital anthropology disability studies digital studies ethnography feminist anthropology intersectional feminist research hospital ethnography institutional ethnography medical anthropology medicine physiotherapy post-traumatic stress disorder qualitative health research qualitative research queer anthropology sensory ethnography video ethnography virtual reality visual anthropology traumatic brain injuries acquired brain injuries complex regional pain syndrome spinal cord injuries guillain-barré syndrome lower limb amputation lower limb amputations
