Fourth CHMD Workshop: Representations of Early Modern Anatomy and the Human Body
22nd June 2007, 11:00, Wolfson Research Institute
The fourth CHMD workshop will discuss the effects of (visual) representations of human anatomy on the understanding of the body.
Therefore the workshop addresses questions such as:
- What was the specific understanding of anatomy by particular audiences?
- How did representations of the anatomical body construct collective identities?
- How were anatomical objects constructed, and how did they change?
- What meanings were assigned to the anatomical body from the 16th to18th century?
