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. 606 $aPhototherapy$xHistory 606 $aPhototherapy$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aVisual communication$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSuntan 615 0$aPhototherapy$xHistory. 615 0$aPhototherapy$xHistory. 615 0$aVisual communication$xHistory. 615 0$aSuntan. 676 $a615.831 700 $aWoloshyn$b Tania$0993507 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219861403321 996 $aSoaking up the rays$92274900 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02662nam 2200637Ma 450 001 9910153338203321 005 20230803014942.0 010 $a9782336681566 010 $a2336681560 035 $a(CKB)3780000000046310 035 $a(FrPJT)JTL20007301 035 $a(MH)013916246-1 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001193384 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12520709 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001193384 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11136236 035 $a(PQKB)10580446 035 $a(Perlego)3081776 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000046310 100 $a20140116d2013 uy 0 101 0 $afre 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDictionnaire historique de télévision $ede ABC à Zworykin /$fJean-Jacques Ledos 210 $aParis $cL'Harmattan$dc2013 215 $a1 online resource (609 p. )$cill. ; 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9782343014173 311 08$a2343014175 311 08$a9782336331461 311 08$a2336331462 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 330 8 $aJean-Jacques Ledos, chef opérateur de prises de vues à la RTF, à l'ORTF et à la SFP retrace avec ce dictionnaire, l'histoire de la télévision dont l'usage est devenu indispensable à nos sociétés.
