{"product_id":"dissection-photography-brandon-zimmerman-9781529222180","title":"Dissection Photography: Cadavers, Abjection, and the Formation of Identity","description":"Contemporary audiences are often shocked to learn that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, medical students around the world posed for photographic portraits with their cadavers; a genre known as dissection photography. Featuring previously unseen images, stories, and anecdotes, this book explores the visual culture of death within the gross anatomy lab through the tradition of dissection photography, examining its historical aspects from both photographic and medical perspectives. The author pays particular attention to the use of dissection photographs as an expression of student identity, and as an evolving transgressive ritual intricately connected to, and eventually superseding, the act of dissection itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandon Zimmerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529222184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529222180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Brandon Zimmerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790447866111,"sku":"9781529222180","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5139574f-4e82-4f89-96e3-363933aa685d.jpg?v=1707288969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dissection-photography-brandon-zimmerman-9781529222180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
