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.

Jonathan Pevsner, professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and scientific consultant to the Discovery Channel’s Doing DaVinci series, explores Leonardo’s wide-ranging interests in the mind and body, and how this knowledge informs his work in sculpture. Complements the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture: Inspiration and Invention at the Getty Center.

Most medical historians have heard of anatomical museums and displays of anomalies in earlier eras. Few are aware, however, that exhibition has also been a crucial component of twentieth-century medicine. The prominence of exhibition in medicine suggests that historians should refine their notions of how medical ideas are communicated to accommodate this lively and interactive culture.

The next History of Medicine Division seminar will be held on Wednesday, September 9, 2-3:30pm, in the NLM Visitor Center, Bldg 38A.  In conjunction with NLM's newest travelling exhibit, "The Literature of Prescription: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and 'The Yellow Wall-Paper,'" Helen Horowitz of Smith College will speak on "Underneath the Whirls: Rethinking Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sex, Nervous Breakdown, and S. Weir Mitchell."

All are Welcome
