223 Conclusions Now we are in a position to summarise how to question subjectivation in relation to technology and innovation. In this last part, I propose an approach that I call the study of ‘materialising subjectivation‘. I distinguish this term from what you might call materialising subjectivity. This, in a sense, is an ex‐ pansion of Latour's (2005b) account of the plug‐ins or attachments to the human subject. While this is included in the approach I have tried to unfold, the focus here is on the materialisation of the process of subjectivation, rather than on subjectivity as some sort of entity. After discussing the method, I will attempt to answer the main question: how does the subjectivation of the pa‐ tient occur in postpanopticism, in relation to questions of technology and innovation. Materialising subjectivation In his attempts to further the understanding of the ethics of technology, Pe‐ ter‐Paul Verbeek (2006) coined the term ‘materialising morality' to denote attempts to endow artefacts with ethics. I take his cue, and connect this to the approach that I have taken in this study. If we acknowledge that technology ‘have' ethics, it is a small step to consider that there may also be attempts to embed them purposefully. In this study, I made the connection to the subjec‐ tivity of individuals.
