Brain and associate

Project overview

We can learn from brain research what it means to live in a society with multiple perspectives of observation. The brain discourse and the metaphors associated with it appear as a dazzling multiplicity that is simultaneously woven into the differential structure of society in a specific way. The sociological observer can discover here that it is by no means random who observes the brain, how and in what way - but that "system" and "society" are contained here in a deeper sense.
