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 similaritiesand differences within other European contexts. 410 0$aMedicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History,$x2947-9150 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 606 $aHistory of Medicine 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aCultural History 606 $aSocial History 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a629.282 676 $a611.009493 700 $aClaes$b Tinne$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482980203321 996 $aCorpses in Belgian Anatomy, 1860-1914$94329788 997 $aUNINA
