Imaging / Imagining the Skeleton is a symposium exploring how social conceptions of the human form have evolved alongside the increasing ability of science and medicine to represent the body. Speakers will present a constellation of inter-disciplinary discussions about the relationship between representing/exhibiting the body, evolving conceptions of the body and bones, and art’s responses to new representational medical technologies.
The ability to investigate and image the body — at the levels of both anatomy and function — has exerted a profound impact on how the relationship between the physical body and human experience is conceived. Those changing conceptions, in turn, have had far-reaching consequences for the humanities, social sciences, and artistic practice.
