Lucia Dacome on the First Anatomical Models and their Makers

An anatomical revolution: a historical perspective on the production of bodies.

Time: 1 min read
Lucia Dacome

Lucia Dacome, Associate Professor and Pauline M.H. Mazumdar Chair in the History of Medicine at University of Toronto, in conversation with Valentina Frasisti, PhD student in Italian Studies at Harvard, presents her most recent work: Malleable Anatomies: Models, Makers, and Material Culture in Eighteenth-Century Italy.

Dacome illustrates that the production of anatomical knowledge was influenced by religious interests, power and politics, as well as a shift in aesthetic taste. Moreover, the work of female modellers, as a kind of development of midwives’ expertise, played a central role in the affirmation of anatomy as an independent scientific discipline. Readers will be captivated by Dacome’s three-dimensional characters and absorbing details.

Italian Studies at Harvard

Harvard non è solo l’università più ricca del pianeta e quella in cui si forma la futura classe dirigente americana. È anche un luogo dove si immagina una società migliore e si cercano i mezzi per realizzarla. Fra questi mezzi, la cultura, e specificamente la cultura italiana, troppo spesso trascurata o tradita in patria e che invece costituisce un patrimonio straordinario, capace di indurre bellezza e innovazione. Un patrimonio da proteggere, esplorare, esportare. Per questo collaboriamo a questa rubrica -- studenti, dottorandi e docenti, americani e italiani, convinti che l'arte e il pensiero siano indispensabili per cambiare e salvare il mondo. Not only is Harvard the wealthiest university in the world, it is also an institution that molds future generations of American leaders. Not only is it a space devoted to imagining a better society, but also to forging the tools to realize it. Tools are forged from resources, and Italian culture represents an extraordinary patrimony capable of embodying beauty and inspiring innovation. It is for this reason that we collaborate on this column – graduate students, undergraduates and professors, Americans and Italians, all convinced that art and thought are powerful and indispensable means of saving the world.
