    "This volume presents the collective adventure of Dingdingdong, the Institute for the Co-production of Knowledge about Huntington’s Disease, founded in 2012 between Paris and Brussels. Katrin Solhdju’s Testing Knowledge: Toward an Ecology of Diagnosis pursues the question of taming the violence of the new species of medical foreknowledge represented by genetic testing. Adopting historical and epistemological perspectives on diagnostic situations, including observations from anthropological field research, speculative storytelling, and ancient oracles, Testing Knowledge proposes a new ecology of predictive diagnostic gestures, which potentially concern us all. Testing Knowledge is preceded by the Dingdingdong collective’s Manifesto (2013), which tells the story of the young Alice Rivières, who in 2006 took the presymptomatic, genetic test, foretelling her that she will eventually develop Huntington’s. Her first-person account of the revelation of her test results, which she experienced as an act of poisoning or cursing, pulls the reader into the manifold ethical, psychological, and existential issues inherent to medical predictions. Testing Knowledge is also preceded by a foreword from Alice Wexler, author of Mapping Fate: A Memoir of Family, Risk, and Genetic Research, and is followed by an afterword by philosopher Isabelle Stengers.

    Das kleine Schwarze oder: Ãœberleben in unsicheren Zeiten

    Im Jahr 1926 landete Coco Chanel ihre vielleicht folgenreichste Kreation. Nach den Verwüstungen und radikalen politischen Umwälzungen des Ersten Weltkrieges feierte man in den 'Roaring Twenties' emphatisch das eigene Überleben. Frauen kleideten sich beim Besuch von Variété-Theatern, Lichtspielen und Bars, lasziv Zigarettenspitzen haltend, jetzt bevorzugt in Schwarz - in Klein und Schwarz. Auch wenn Coco als geniale Erfinderin dieses Outfits gilt, wäre der Erfolg ihrer Innovation ohne die historisch-politischen Umstände vermutlich undenkbar geblieben

    Mit dem wachsenden Interesse für die Vorgänge des Lebendigen im 19. Jahrhundert rückten auch subjektive Erfahrungen in den Bereich lebenswissenschaftlicher Forschung. Damit wurde nicht zuletzt die Frage nach der adäquaten Perspektive virulent, von der aus sich ein Wissen über diese Innerlichkeiten generieren ließe. Das Buch nimmt in drei Fallstudien das neurologische Selbstexperiment Henry Heads, Jacques-Joseph Moreau de Tours' psychiatrische Versuche, den Wahnsinn mit Haschisch zu modellieren, und Benjamin Paul Bloods philosophisch ambitionierten Lachgaskonsum in den Blick, deren Protagonisten sich allesamt dafür entschieden die Innenperspektive einzunehmen und an sich selbst zu experimentieren
