Artefacts, Technicity and Humanisation industrial design and the problem of anoetic technologies Stephen James Thompson A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Trantechnology Research School of Computing, Communications & Electronics Faculty of Technology July 2008 2 Abstract Artefacts, Technicity and Humanisation industrial design and the problem of anoetic technologies Stephen james Thompson This thesis concerns the intellectual heritage and autonomy of West European and American industrial design as a discourse community at a moment when biotechnological developments are challenging the certainty of what it means to be human. Proceeding from the assumption that industrial design is an autonomous intellectual engagement played out through the interpretation of technology as an artefact, the thesis identifies how this is a critical moment for industrial designers, who appear to be unable to respond to a problem of the apparent disconnection and the progressive displacement of the human in reference to technology. The thesis identifies the cause of this as the understanding of the artefact, which has conventionally been placed at the centre of its analysis. The way that this has been constructed has not only impacted on design solutions but has led to a particular understanding of technology. lt is this understanding of the artefact that has ceased to be sustainable and has precipitated the crisis. The thesis argues that, by revisiting the artefact as a mutable consequence of culture, it is possible to relieve the problem by opening up the scope for finding new methodological approaches. These can be used to develop design strategies that are sufficiently subtle and coherent in their terms to engage with the open complexity of future discussions of the distributed and enacted human. 3 List of Contents Acknowledgements Author's declaration and word count Question Preamble Introduction Chapter one Industrial design and its autonomies 1.1 An autonomous conglomeration called industrial design 1.2 Industrial design and institutional regulation 1.3 Industrial design and technology 1.4 Industrial design and its intellectual community 1.5 Industrial design and the function of fluidity Chapter two Disconnection and the progressive displacement of the human reference in technology 2.1 The epistemological displacement of the human referent 2.2 Rupture: The crisis of biotechnology as a question of history 2.3 Strategies of reconnection Chapter three Reviewing history and the 'resolved' artefact as the keystone of analysis 3.1 Artefacts and evidence in industrial design histories 3.2 The problem of disembodied resolutions of the process of humanisation 4 3.3 The strategic lacunae and impact of the technological artefact based histories on the inclusion of culture Chapter four The artefact as a mutable consequence of culture 4.1 The 'resolved' technological artefact and the role of cultural networks 4.2 Cultural networks and the deficit of reductlvist methodologies 4.3 The strategic lacunae and impact of agency complexity and autopoiesls Chapter five Reconnecting the human and the technological: a speculative historiography 5.1 Topological domains and 'Machine Age' 5.2 From landscape to ecology 5.3 From corporeality to culture Chapter six Recovery towards autonomy: steps towards a fluid conception of human-technological relationships 6.1 The opportunities that biotechnology offers to the conceptualisation of technology 6.2 The Imperative of valence: The material site of interaction 6.3 Human and the enacted moment as a hybrid condition Chapter seven Three problematic approaches to the distributed human and enaction 7.1 Alienation 7.2 Technicity 7.3 Embodied interaction Chapter eight Dissolving the problem in the recovered voice: strategies for the management of fluidity 5 8.1 Granularity: a changed view of reality and not a changed reality 8.2 Artefactualising the body 8.3 Designing with the 'Body without Organs' 8.4 Design Scenario Conclusion Appendix 1 Coda: joey the Mechanical Boy An allegory eschewing closure, showing how process of humanisation is tied to the intellectual coherence of the complexity and granular sophistication in the conceptual and technical models held of the artefact as a component of the whole human. joey Introduction to the coda Joey.l Joey the Mechanical Boy: His story Joey.2 Joey the Mechanical Boy: The orthodox analysis Joey.3 Joey the Mechanical Boy: An unorthodox analysis References 6 Acknowledgements Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub. lt is the centre hole that makes it useful.

(Lao-Tzu) What is not here has changed me for ever. But some words must be found to find a way to reveal the network of assistance and love in which I have been fortunate to find myself over the course of the past five years or so. Sometimes the actors in this network are visible in the thesis; however, more often they have provided a subtle and invisible web of magic, which has held everything together. Some actors deserve a particular public acknowledgement here, of course, not least among these my supervisors Professor Michael Punt and Robert Pepperell, who have become my friends and who have shared their intellectual insight with such extraordinary generosity and patience. That I cannot find the appropriate words to express my gratitude adequately will hardly surprise them. lt is also important to mention Professor David Jeremiah and Professor David Smith, who provided some of the impetus and confidence required at the start of this project. Thanks are due to friends and colleagues at University of Wales Institute, Cardiff and University of Wales, Newport, including Professors Gaynor Kavanagh, Paul Seawright and Anne Carlisle, who have been both generous and gracious in making it possible for me to undertake the research while I have continued to teach in their various Faculties. Thanks, of course, to Mike Phillips and my research colleagues in Transtechnology at the University of Plymouth, whose challenge and support have been invaluable and to Dr Kieran Lyons for his companionship on this particular road trip. Thanks and love are also due to my Ma and Pa for their perpetual support and for their generous contributions to my library. But of all the actors in this brief life to whom I owe the most, it is Yvonne, whose sustaining belief and tolerance have ultimately made this whole project possible. Thanks to other actors, Alfie and Emmett, entering and exiting stage left and right at frequent intervals to offer joyous distraction. And finally to Don and his Dancing Wu Li Masters, whose light was not shining (at least on this plane) to share in the pleasure of typing this last line before I submit the thesis.

Accepting the hypothesis that the brighter we get, the more we can do with less, it presently follows that if this is a good thing, then doing much more with much less must be an even better thing.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository The Production of Religious Broadcasting: The Case of the BBC Caitriona Noonan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre, Film and Television University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8QQ December 2008 © Caitriona Noonan, 2008 Abstract This thesis examines the way in which media professionals negotiate the occupational challenges related to television and radio production. It has used the subject of religion and its treatment within the BBC as a microcosm to unpack some of the dilemmas of contemporary broadcasting. In recent years religious programmes have evolved in both form and content leading to what some observers claim is a “renaissance” in religious broadcasting. However, any claims of a renaissance have to be balanced against the complex institutional and commercial constraints that challenge its long-term viability. This research finds that despite the BBC’s public commitment to covering a religious brief, producers in this style of programming are subject to many of the same competitive forces as those in other areas of production. Furthermore those producers who work in-house within the BBC’s Department of Religion and Ethics believe that in practice they are being increasingly undermined through the internal culture of the Corporation and the strategic decisions it has adopted. This is not an intentional snub by the BBC but a product of the pressure the Corporation finds itself under in an increasingly competitive broadcasting ecology, hence the removal of the protection once afforded to both the department and the output.

INTRODUCTION T HE Securities and Exchange Commission's Standards of Professional Conduct for Attorneys1 represent an attempt to solve a problem. The problem is that ethical obligations, state law and self-interest apparently do not give lawyers sufficient incentives to report law violations by corporate managers "up the ladder" to appropriate decisionmakers within the corpo- rate client, or to disclose illegality to regulators. That problem is consid- ered serious, because it is believed to have resulted in lawyers' at least passive complicity in managerial wrongdoing. That complicity violated lawyers' fiduciary obligation to their corporate client and betrayed their public trust as gatekeepers, thereby contributing to the recent epidemic of corporate fraud and corporate governance failures. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the problem, as just defined, is real and serious.
