Sumario: | "A critical reflection on the relationship between materials and reproduction of medical knowledge. Medical knowledge manifests in materials, and materials are integral to the reproduction of medical knowledge. From the novice student to the expert practitioner, those who study and work in and around medicine rely on material guidance in their everyday practice and as they seek to further their craft. To that end, this edited collection brings together historians, anthropologists, educators artists and curators to explore the role of materiality in medical education. With a broad temporal focus, international scope, this volume focuses on the materials, objects, tools and technologies that facilitate the reproduction of medical knowledge and often also reify understandings of medical science. Experimental in form and supplemented with ethnographic, museological and historical cases from around the world, Making Sense of Medicine is the first book to fully explore the matter of medical education in the modern world." -- |
