The Medicalization of Cyberspace
Autor Andy Miah, Emma Richen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2008
The Medicalization of Cyberspace is the first book to explore the relationship between digital culture and medical sociology. It examines how technology is redefining expectations of and relationships with medical culture, addressing the following questions:
- How will the rise of digital communities affect traditional notions of medical expertise?
- What will the medicalization of cyberspace mean in a new era of posthuman enhancements?
- How should we regard hype and exaggeration about science in the media and how can this encourage public engagement with bioethics?

Recenzii
'Andy Miah and Emma Rich have extracted from cyberspace fascinating narratives about topics such as the persistent sexual arousal syndrome, the Visible Human Project, the controversy about an online auction for a human kidney (which never actually happened), suicide anorexia nervosa (Pro-Ana) movement...[They] seek to listen to what is going on in cyberspace and to understand how it affects the way that people see health and disease.' - New England Journal of Medicine
'The Medicalization of Cyberspace is a compellling and comprehensive consideration of how the internet and web are impacting medical practice, communication between experts and patients, the construction of the posthuman body, and many other pressing issues. Highly recommended for anyone interested in how the digital cultures of cyberspace are shaping the practice, understanding, and consumption of medicine in the contemporary period.' - N. Katherine Hayles, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
'The Medicalization of Cyberspace makes a valid and very necessary contribution to the conversation concerning cyberspace, medicalization and the body. Its value is found in the fact that rather than duplicating arguments already advanced on the positives and negatives of medical information being presented on the web or the horrors which stalk online discussion forms, it digs to the deeper issues of why cyberspace is altering the interaction between medicalization, health and body - a question which is often overlooked.' - Matt James, BioCentre BioNews
