DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Traffic of Dead Bodies enters the sphere of bodysnatching medical students, dissection-room pranks, and anatomical fantasy. It shows how nineteenth-century American physicians used anatomy to develop a vital professional identity, while claiming authority over the living and the dead. It also introduces the middle-class women and men, working people, unorthodox healers, cultural radicals, entrepreneurs, and health reformers who resisted and exploited anatomy to articulate their own social identities and visions. The nineteenth century saw the rise of the American medical profession: a proliferation of practitioners, journals, organizations, sects, and schools. Anatomy lay at the heart of the medical curriculum, allowing American medicine to invest itself with the authority of European science. Anatomists crossed the boundary between life and death, cut into the body, reduced it to its parts, framed it with moral commentary, and represented it theatrically, visually, and textually. Only initiates of the dissecting room could claim the privileged healing status that came with direct knowledge of the body. But anatomy depended on confiscation of the dead--mainly the plundered bodies of African Americans, immigrants, Native Americans, and the poor. As black markets in cadavers flourished, so did a cultural obsession with anatomy, an obsession that gave rise to clashes over the legal, social, and moral status of the dead. Ministers praised or denounced anatomy from the pulpit; rioters sacked medical schools; and legislatures passed or repealed laws permitting medical schools to take the bodies of the destitute. Dissection narratives and representations of the anatomical body circulated in new places: schools, dime museums, popular lectures, minstrel shows, and sensationalist novels. Michael Sappol resurrects this world of graverobbers and anatomical healers, discerning new ligatures among race and gender relations, funerary practices, the formation of the middle-class, and medical professionalization. In the process, he offers an engrossing and surprisingly rich cultural history of nineteenth-century America.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Lecture Introductory to the Course on Anatomy and Surgery, in the University of Virginia, for the Session of 1837-8 When the first teaches us simply the exterior conforma tion of organs, their volume, situation in the body, den sity and other physical properties, it is termed Special or Descriptive Anatomy. This was the first mode of descrip tion of organs pursued by the ancient Anatomists, and has by the successive discoveries of zealous investigators, reach ed a degree of perfection yet to be obtained in other branches of Anatomical Science. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries especially, the labours of the great Italian Anatomists had so nearly exhausted the field of discovery, that little else was left for their successors, than to classify these known facts, and thus adapt them for all the applications of which they were susceptible.
