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.20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000bicsscBritish & Irish historybicsscComplementary medicinebicsscHistory of art / art & design stylesbicsscHistory of medicinebicsscheliotherapylight therapymedical humanitiesphototherapysunlightultraviolet radiation20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000British & Irish historyComplementary medicineHistory of art / art & design stylesHistory of medicineWoloshyn Tania993507BOOK9910917297703321Soaking up the rays: Light therapy and visual culture in Britain, c. 1890-19404522750UNINA
