What?
To say we live in exciting times right now would be a tremendous understatement! Humanities and arts are not the only areas of knowledge that struggle to navigate the contemporary changes and challenges. The talk with psychiatrist Joachim Budny will serve as an occasion to exchange perspectives and information about the impact of new technologies on our everyday lives and well-being while staying close to this year’s theme of WEIRD MEDICINE.
PS. We will often refer to fictional examples in our conversation. If you have time, please watch at least some of the following titles (it is not necessary, but it may give you food for thought and questions):
- Her, dir. Spike Jonze, 2013 (available on iTunes, Rakuten, and Loomi for rent);
- Black Mirror, created by Charlie Brooker, 2011-, episodes “Nosedive” (s03e01, 2016) and “Joan is Awful” (s06e01, 2023).
