Anatomy Of The Medical Image; Knowledge Production and Transfiguration from the Renaissance to Today.
This volume addresses the interdependencies between visual technologies and epistemology with regard to our perception of the medical body. It explores the relationships between the imagination, the body, and concrete forms of visual representations: Ranging from the Renaissance paradigm of anatomy, to Foucault’s “birth of the clinic” and the institutionalised construction of a “medical gaze”; from “visual” archives of madness, psychiatric art collections, the politicisation and economisation of the body, to the post-human in mass media representations.
A fascinating and hard to find book. Please see photos. In very good condition. Many pages have highlighting to the text, but otherwise clean and sharp.
