The Afterlife of Images pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In 1739 China's emperor authorized the publication of a medical text that included images of children with smallpox to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Those images made their way to Europe, where they were interpreted as indicative of the ill health and medical backwardness of the Chinese. In the mid-nineteenth century, the celebrated Cantonese painter Lam Qua collaborated with the American medical missionary Peter Parker in the creation of portraits of Chinese patients with disfiguring pathologies, rendered both before and after surgery. Europeans saw those portraits as evidence of Western medical prowess. Within China, the visual idiom that the paintings established influenced the development of medical photography. In The Afterlife of Images, Larissa N. Heinrich investigates the creation and circulation of Western medical discourses that linked ideas about disease to Chinese identity beginning in the eighteenth century.
Combining literary studies, the history of science, and visual culture studies, Heinrich analyzes the rhetoric and iconography through which medical missionaries transmitted to the West an image of China as "sick" or "diseased." She also examines the absorption of that image back into China through missionary activity, through the earliest translations of Western medical texts into Chinese, and even through the literature of Chinese nationalism. Heinrich argues that over time "scientific" Western representations of the Chinese body and culture accumulated a host of secondary meanings, taking on an afterlife with lasting consequences for conceptions of Chinese identity in China and beyond its borders.
Larissa N. Heinrich is Associate Professor in the Department of Literature at the University of California, San Diego. She is a coeditor of Embodied Modernities: Corporeality and Representation in Chinese Cultures.
details win, the main idea is from Lydia Liu and Foucault with little reference
评分还不错啊。医疗摄影那章的论述可以试着学习一下。
评分优秀的学术研究范本:从近年大热的医疗史和图象研究的交叉点切入,视角独特;所选材料既有相对冷僻的史料(天花的概念在17、18世纪欧洲和中国的传播史),也有经典的文学文本(鲁迅)。不仅关注文本/图象本身,还扎实地考察了文本/图象的生产、传播过程以及背后的意识形态和资本运作
评分visual的方法其实没多少,但选材和讨论都还算有意思,再加上堪比变态学教授的插图……但是,作为喻体的疾病,在“东亚病夫”形象的建构中到底起了多重要的作用?“东亚病夫”是怎样和卫生的现代性博弈消长的?参杨瑞松「想像民族恥辱─近代中國思想文化史上的『東亞病夫』」
评分挺跨学科的,叙述性很强,时代画卷想起了《屠猫记》……
