Reviews

'aan te raden voor geïnteresseerden in de geschiedenis van medische wetenschappen, materialiteit en wetenschappelijke personae. De platen achter in het boek zijn prachtig.'
Fenneke Sysling, Studium 10/2 (2017)

No hay duda del asiento que tienen todos los capítulos en la transformación historiográfica operada en las últimas décadas dando centralidad al marco analítico proporcionado por la cultura material, los estudios visuales, el giro espacial o los museum studies. El resultado final, estructurado en tres ámbitos, pone de manifiesto una rica variedad de situaciones y significados, que ocurren en la medida en que se produce el desplazamiento o la intersección de lo anatómico. [...] El libro resultará útil a quien entre en estos ámbitos que ponen en jaque planteamientos dicotómicos, pues los estudios se fundamentan en lenguajes y recursos transdisciplinares y aportan además un enorme y actualizado aparato crítico. Alfons Zarzoso, Dynamis 2018; 38 (2): 505-540

With movement as a common thread among the papers, the editors draw out multiple facets of anatomy and anatomical objects as they permeated and transformed along with medical heritage and education.
Tricia Close-Koenig, ISIS—Volume 110, Number 1, March 2019

This is a successful and thought-provoking collection, relying on recent historiography, and extensively illustrated – including several color plates.Domenico Bertoloni Meli, Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Volume 74, Issue 2, April 2019, Pages 221–223, https://doi.org/10.1093/jhmas/jrz006
