The fourth CHMD workshop will discuss the effects of (visual) representations of human anatomy on the understanding of the body. It seeks to contribute to a better understanding of early modern knowledge of the human body in its cultural context. Therefore the workshop addresses questions such as:

- What was the specific understanding of anatomy by particular audiences?
- How did representations of the anatomical body construct collective identities?
- How were anatomical objects constructed, and how did they change?
- What meanings were assigned to the anatomical body from the 16th to18th century?

The workshop brings together historians working on different aspects of European anatomy from the 15th to the 19th century.For further Information on the workshop please contact the organiser, Sebastian Pranghofer, or visit the workshop homepage. Please use the online form on the workshop homepage for registration. Lunch will be provided.

The workshop is funded by the Wellcome Trust.
