Malleable Anatomies
Anatomizing the Trade
Models of the body were made for a wide range of purposes, from anatomical study to obstetric training, public education, and fine art. This paper develops an understanding of anatomical models as medical technologies, using a definition of technologies as both combinations of objects with purposive human activities and embodiments of expertise. The analysis investigates the wide range of strategies employed by European modelling enterprises in t…

From 1784 to 1798, the military expert and natural philosopher Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, worked in Munich for Elector Karl Theodor of Bavaria on a series of reforms that demanded a careful articulation of the reformer's expertise. This case study of Rumford's welfare reforms posits that the ambivalent nature of expertise, which relies simultaneously on generally accessible and on exclusive knowledge, was already present in the conceptual …

The tale of the hermaphrodite monkey
A purportedly hermaphrodite monkey which was offered to Grand Duke Ferdinando III of Tuscany in 1791 was sent to the Royal Museum of Physics and Natural History for an evaluation. In their investigation, the museum's naturalists encountered a fundamental classificatory problem which made it impossible to decide whether the animal was monstrous or normal – a ‘taxonomist's regress’ which constitutes a special case of finitism as analysed in the Edi…
