Imagining Chinese Medicine
11 May 2018
(edited volume, Vivienne Lo & Penelope Barrett, Brill, 2018) has now been published in Open Access.
is the fruit of a long-term collaborative project between scholars at UCL, the?China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (中国中医科学院) and Peking University (PKU). In 36 chapters, it takes the reader on a remarkable journey through the history of medical illustration in China, from the imaging of a classical medicine, to instructional manuals for bone-setting, to advertising and comic books of the Yellow Emperor. By putting images, their power and their travels at the centre of the analysis, it reveals many new and exciting dimensions to the history of medicine and embodiment, and challenges eurocentric histories.
