BACKGROUND AND AIMS

We propose a methodological expansion of computational modeling through the use of cinematic animations to model narratives of disciplinary experiences, and demonstrate how such forms of modeling can help us visualize ethical-historical dimensions of experience that are often invisiblized in professional contexts of technoscience (Philip & Sengupta, 2021). While moral undertones have been argued to be implicitly shaping the practice of technologized medicine (Ducey et al., 2020), the cinematic technicalities of animation enables us to specifically represent and amplify affective experiences that are otherwise fleeting or hidden in disciplinary spaces. The significance of such methodological innovations, we argue, is the ethical-historical reorientation (Vossoughi et al., 2020) of disciplinary authenticity in STEM education.
