There seems to be no end to the demystification of the body through visualization technologies and the promise of health is irresistible. Yet alongside these promising technologies, inequalities in healthcare persist. Life and illness play out in the gap between visualised bodies and ideological notions of health and disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication brings together perspectives from art history, visual science studies, science and technology studies, sociology, and cultural anthropology to encounter watercolours, sculpture, comics, advertising, and infographics. Images are a primary way of recognising the body, but they inevitably promise too much and disappoint us in our quest for bodily self-control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection brings together epistemology, medicine and art to understand what biomedicine looks like and how we might view it differently in the past and in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460252483820,"sku":"9783775760850","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783775760850-biomedical-visions.jpg?v=1774947203","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/biomedical-visions-9783775760850","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
