Dissection Photography, Abjection, and the Formation of Identity (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
Contemporary audiences are often shocked to learn that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, medical students across the world posed for photographs with cadavers, in a genre known as dissection photography. Featuring previously unseen images, stories and anecdotes, this book explores the visual culture of death and the gross anatomy lab through the tradition of dissection photography, examining its historical aspects from both a photographic and medical perspective. The author pays particular attention to the use of dissection photographs as an expression of student identity and as a transgressive ritual intricately connected to, and eventually superseding, the act of dissection itself.
