“…Visualization is one of the most popular among the different modes of aesthetic representations of scientific knowledge (Hammer, 2014). It was proven through lots of researches to explore the role of images in science from different perspectives (Adelmann et al, 2009;Borrelli & Grieser, 2017;Frappier et al, 2013;Halpern, 2014). The visualization represents the essence of all scientific activity.…”

This study examined the effectiveness of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) integrated approach via Scratch on five subconstructs of computational thinking (CT) among 29 male and 30 female students. A quasi-experimental design was employed in the research. The participants demonstrated the application of CT in designing games via Scratch during the intervention. The Computational Thinking Survey (CTS) was administered pre-CT and post-CT tests in measuring the five subconstructs of CT. Repeated multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) results showed that the intervention positively affected male and female students' comprehension concerning the five subconstructs of CT. The results were strengthened by the repeated measure of analysis of variance (ANOVA) with posthoc comparisons, indicating all five subconstructs of CT increased significantly (p < .05). Indirectly, this research introduced a new teaching methodology for students' CT level in the current electronic and technology-advanced era and increased concept manipulation capacity among male and female students.

“…Mitchell (1981: 623) called for a new, critical diagrammatology: a 'systematic study of the way that relationships among elements are represented and interpreted by graphic construction' . Yet in spite of their ubiquitous application across the sciences, their popularity through works on data visualization (Tufte 1990;, and the long-standing interest shown by cognitive scientists (Cheng, Lowe & Scaife 2001;Glasgow, Narayanan & Chandrasekaran 1995;Larkin & Simon 1987) and historians and philosophers of science (Brown 1996;Catley & Novick 2008;Frappier et al 2013;Lüthy & Smets 2009;Mahoney 1985;Sheredos, Burnston, Abrahamsen & Bechtel 2013), anthropologists have only recently started to pay attention to diagrams as components of scientific visual regimes. In his first book on lines, Tim Ingold drew briefly on Darwin's sole diagram from The origin of species, reflecting on the significance of the phyletic line in rendering continuity in evolution a 'reconstituted continuity of discrete individuals in a genealogical sequence ' (2007: 114, emphasis in the original).…”

“…Through the study of what is perhaps the most prevalent diagrammatic regime in the study of animal-tohuman infection (zoonosis), my aim is to relate to diagrams both empirically, as tools used by life scientists and public health agencies to reason about and manipulate reality, and theoretically, as models of human-animal relations. This article will argue that by taking these diagrams 'visually' seriously, we are able to arrive at an understanding of them not merely as simplified schemata of animal-human infection, but as a practice of 'visual reasoning' (Frappier, Meynell & Brown 2013) that embodies and reproduces fundamental principles as regards interspecies relations. This, it will be argued, allows us to arrive at an anthropological understanding of human-animal relations which integrates biopolitical and ontological perspectives under the rubric not of 'the mastery of nature but of the relation between nature and humankind' (Benjamin 1986: 93).…”

Zoonotic diagrams: mastering and unsettling human‐animal relations

This article approaches interspecies relations through an examination of the prevalent visual device employed in the representation of animal-human infection in the life sciences: the zoonotic cycles diagram. After charting its emergence and development in the context of bubonic plague, I explore how this diagrammatic regime has been applied in two distinct practical contexts: a plague warning sign on the Grand Canyon National Park hiking trail; and the on-line public information campaign launched by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the wake of the Ebola outbreak of 2014-16. The article demonstrates the principal ontological and biopolitical operations of these diagrams, arguing that, far from simply summarizing epidemiological narratives of animal-human infection, they function both as pilots of human mastery over human-animal relations and as crucial sites of unsettlement for the latter.Diagrams form one of the most persistent and pervasive tools of anthropological thinking. From Alfred Kroeber's 'tree of cultural evolution' to rendering house and village plans into analytical charts of social life, and from kinship diagrams to the complex diagrammatic analytics developed by Claude Lévi-Strauss and Alfred Gell or, more recently, in the context of ontological debates, there is hardly a key moment or turn in the discipline which is not accompanied or supported by what we may call diagrammatic pilots of anthropological reasoning. And yet, with few notable, and mostly kinship-focused, exceptions (Banks 2001;Bouquet 1996;Grimshaw 2001;Hage & Harary 1983), anthropologists appear largely uninterested in the way in which diagrams have influenced the development of ideas and debates in our discipline. Given the latter's record of reflexivity, this cannot be said to be the result of a lack of self-inspection. Rather, it seems to stem from an invisibility of the diagram as a unique mode of drawing out forms, patterns, and relations across epistemic fields and cultures. Hence diagrams constitute a blind spot for anthropology not only as regards its own practices but also as an ethnographic object.

“…As Luc Pauwels (2006, 8) also argues, visual representations are not mere "add-ons or ways to popularize a complex reasoning; they are an essential part of scientific discourse." STS engages with the aesthetics of knowledge by specifically investigating how certain visualizing technologies have become enmeshed with Western metanarratives on (inter alia) race, gender and sexuality (see also Breidbach 2005 andFrappier, Meynell, andBrown 2013). By taking such scholarship as its point of departure, this article is sensitive to the role that various visualizing practices and technologies play in the structuring of socio-political relations in South Africa, especially where race, gender and sexuality are concerned.…”

Skewing the nation: mobilizing queer citizenship in South Africa

This article is interested in the national imaging and imagining of non-heteronormative genders and sexual orientationsthat is, the way in which citizenship, as a form of belonging, is visually negotiated from an LGBTI (that is lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex) perspective. Technologies for framing gender and sexuality (such as photography and film) are central for the visual negotiation of LGBTI citizenship within the South African context. Images that speak of/to the nation on the topic of LGBTI citizenship are complex framings, as they encapsulate a marked sense of difference, while they also reveal a sense for solidarity and reconciliation. Based on the contemporary South African context, this article posits that, while LGBTI subjects are encompassed in a national rhetoric of belonging, LGBTI manifestations of subjectivity are in practice often met with severe scorn and violence. As such, the very idea of national citizenship runs counter to queer subjectivities and strategies, which are not primarily invested in the concept of "belonging," or ascribing to the normative ideals and delineations of a given political space or cultural territory. The complexity arising from the tensions between belonging and dis-identifying, stasis and movement, is the point of departure for this article, in which a series of visual examples are drawn upon to demonstrate how the idea of sexual and gendered citizenship is negotiated by contemporary South African artists and activists. In addition, this article demonstrates how visualizing technologies impact the lives of LGBTI subjects within contemporary South Africa.Desvirtuar a nação: mobilização da cidadania queer na África do Sul RESUMO Este artigo está interessado na imagem e na imaginação nacionais de gêneros não-heteronormativos e orientações sexuaisou seja, a maneira pela qual a cidadania, como forma de pertencimento, é negociada visualmente por uma perspectiva LGBTI (lésbica, bissexual, gay, trans e intersexo).
