Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture to a Course of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania: Delivered, November 7th, 1831 To appreciate the merit of this incipient enterprise of Dr. Shippen, and of its success, we must remember how scanty and scattered was the population of the British provinces of North America, how little intercourse the latter had with each other, and how few alliances with the province of Penn sylvania. We are also to remember the filial and hereditary veneration with which all looked to Great Britain, and the supposed impossibility of so elevated a science as medicine being taught here, in a rude and infant condition of society, with any degree of justness and efficiency. To these difii culties may be added the inveterate hostility with which all unimproved communities view the cultivation of anatomy by dissection. It is not our business at present to inquire whether this sentiment has a rational or a superstitious foundation, the fact equally remains in history, that man kind ih all ages have felt it a sacrilege to violate in this way the bodies of the dead, and in their penal enactments have frequently placed it on a footing with the most atrocious crimes. Such then was the situation of Dr. Shippen in 1762, with the prejudices of the people strongly against his voca tion, and laws equally discouraging, which, by their severe application, might at any time compromit his liberty and property. The persons of the present day can only form'a very inadequate conception of the difiiculties which sur rounded him, but happily the man was suited to a task, than which few things, in the language of his biographer, Dr. Wistar, require more knowledge of human nature, and greater powers of accommodation to the feelings of the heart.

Book excerpt: What significance does the physical, material body still have in a world of virtual reality and genetic cloning? How do technology and postmodern rhetoric influence our understanding of the body? And how can our discussion of the body affect the way we handle crises in public policy--the politics of race and ethnicity; issues of "family values" that revolve around sexual and gender identities; the choices revolving around reproduction and genome projects, and the spread of disease? Leading scholars in rhetoric and communication, as well as literary and cultural studies, address some of the most important topics currently being discussed in the human sciences. The essays collected here suggest the wide range of public arenas in which rhetoric is operative--from abortion clinics and the World Wide Web to the media's depiction of illiteracy and the Donner Party. These studies demonstrate how the discourse of AIDS prevention or Demi Moore's "beautiful pregnancy" call to mind the physical nature of being human and the ways in which language and other symbols reflect and create the physical world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jonathan Friedlaender has devoted much of his professional life to studies of human population variation in Pacific Islanders.. His collaborator on this memoir of his life and experiences in the Pacific is Joanna Radin, a young but remarkably knowledgeable historian of science currently conducting graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania. These two professionals weave a fascinating fabric of complex texture that incorporates the educational, political, governmental, and research climate of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with the trials and tribulations of a young researcher and academic trying to make his way in a highly competitive arena. The book is much more than a series of recollections about one man's life; rather, it is a history of an important era in the development of anthropological genetics and the dramatic transition in this science that took place in the early 1980s. Friedlaender's book should have appeal to a number of audiences - students, professional anthropologists, and lay readers, alike... Jonathan Friedlaender's Reflections is a valuable addition to the historical record of this important science. This is a worthwhile book to read for anyone with interests in the history of science or the history of a science." From the Foreword by Professor Michael A. Little, Binghamton University

Book excerpt: The paleontologist and professor of anatomy who co-discovered Tiktaalik, the “fish with hands,” tells a “compelling scientific adventure story that will change forever how you understand what it means to be human” (Oliver Sacks). By examining fossils and DNA, he shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes look and function like those of worms and bacteria. Your Inner Fish makes us look at ourselves and our world in an illuminating new light. This is science writing at its finest—enlightening, accessible and told with irresistible enthusiasm.

Download or read book Nonhuman Photography written by Joanna Zylinska and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new philosophy of photography that goes beyond humanist concepts to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent, as both subject and agent. Today, in the age of CCTV, drones, medical body scans, and satellite images, photography is increasingly decoupled from human agency and human vision. In Nonhuman Photography, Joanna Zylinska offers a new philosophy of photography, going beyond the human-centric view to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent. Zylinska argues further that even those images produced by humans, whether artists or amateurs, entail a nonhuman, mechanical element—that is, they involve the execution of technical and cultural algorithms that shape our image-making devices as well as our viewing practices. At the same time, she notes, photography is increasingly mobilized to document the precariousness of the human habitat and tasked with helping us imagine a better tomorrow. With its conjoined human-nonhuman agency and vision, Zylinska claims, photography functions as both a form of control and a life-shaping force. Zylinska explores the potential of photography for developing new modes of seeing and imagining, and presents images from her own photographic project, Active Perceptual Systems. She also examines the challenges posed by digitization to established notions of art, culture, and the media. In connecting biological extinction and technical obsolescence, and discussing the parallels between photography and fossilization, she proposes to understand photography as a light-induced process of fossilization across media and across time scales.
