Award: 2020 Post-Doctoral Fellow
Institution : McGill University
This project traces the circulation and consumption of medico-electric devices and their affiliated healthcare products and advertisements from the end of the last century to the 1940s. Maia’s work seeks to uncover how these medical objects inaugurated a new kind of device-mediated knowledge of the self and delves into her self-titled “technology-to-body intimacy”.
