Abstract
By examining the interplay between the history of medicine, literature, the visual arts, and architecture, this volume investigates the presence of anatomy within other fields of knowledge, across a longue durée stretching from the Renaissance to the contemporary age. While maintaining a broad and dynamic interdisciplinary scope, the six parts of the book are unified by a focus on the visual and discursive representation of anatomy, articulated through its evolving historical, physical, and immaterial forms—such as theatres, atlases, images, museums, literary genres, and digital repositories. Anatomy is thus examined as a constitutive element of the cultural imagination across different historical periods.
