Composed as a travel story from the point of view of the cadaver, this study offers a full-blown cultural history of death and dissection, with insights that easily go beyond the history of anatomy and the specific case of Belgium. From acquisition to disposal, the trajectories of the corpse changed under the influence of social policies, ideological tensions, religious sensitivities, cultures of death and broader changes in the field of medical ethics. Anatomists increasingly had to reconcile their ways with the diverse meanings that the dead body held. To a certain extent, as this book argues, they started to treat the corpse as subject rather than object. Interweaving broad historical evolutions with detailed case studies, this book offers unique insights into a field dominated by Anglo-American perspectives, evaluating the similarities and differences within other European contexts.Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern HistoryEurope, Central—HistoryMedicine—HistoryHistoryCivilization—HistorySocial historyHistory of Germany and Central Europehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717060History of Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Europe, Central—History.Medicine—History.History.Civilization—History.Social history.History of Germany and Central Europe.History of Medicine.History of Science.Cultural History.Social History.629.282611.009493Claes Tinneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1226167MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910482980203321Corpses in Belgian Anatomy, 1860–19142846986UNINA
