Dead points --Select bibliography --Index.Soaking up the rays forges a new path for exploring Britain’s fickle love of the light by investigating the beginnings of light therapy in the country, from c.1890–1940. Despite rapidly becoming a leading treatment for tuberculosis, rickets and other infections and skin diseases, light therapy was a contentious medical practice. Bodily exposure to light, whether for therapeutic or aesthetic ends, persists as a contested subject to this day: recommended to counter psoriasis and other skin conditions as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and depression; closely linked to notions of beauty, happiness and well-being, fuelling tourism to sunny locales abroad and the tanning industry at home; and yet with repeated health warnings that it is a dangerous carcinogen. By analysing archival photographs, illustrated medical texts, advertisements, lamps, and goggles and their visual representation of how light acted upon the body, Woloshyn assesses their complicated contribution to the founding of light therapy. Soaking up the rays will appeal to those intrigued by medicine’s visual culture, especially academics and students of the histories of art and visual culture, material cultures, medicine, science and technology, and popular culture.PhototherapyHistoryPhototherapyGreat BritainHistoryVisual communicationGreat BritainHistorySuntanPhototherapyHistory.PhototherapyHistory.Visual communicationHistory.Suntan.615.831Woloshyn Tania993507UkMaJRUBOOK9910219861403321Soaking up the rays2274900UNINA01714nam0 2200421 i 450 CFI039335520251003044140.08846408411IT98-10002 20130827d1998 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nz01ncRDAcarrierˆIl ‰marketing degli operatori turisticianalisi, strumenti, strategie-verifiche sul campoLeonardo Idili, Lucia SiliprandiMilanoF.
