Carlino, Andrea, La fabbrica del corpo: libri e dissezione nel Rinascimento, Torí, Einaudi (Piccola biblioteca Einaudi, 622), 1994, xxiv + 267 pp.
- Resum
- Al centro del libro vi è la scienza della dissezione e lo studio delle parti del corpo umano, affrontati nell'ambito della più vasta sfera dei sentimenti e degli atteggiamenti culturali verso il corpo e la morte. Il volume prende l'avvio dall'opera di Vesalio De humani corporis fabrica (1543) che segna uno dei momenti fondamentali di avvio della scienza moderna. Qui l'autore indaga le ragioni di una lunga stagnazione del sapere scientifico, le inerzie e le costrizioni che ne impedivano il progresso. Non limitandosi a esaminare il punto di vista del soggetto medico, ma anche quello dell'oggetto, il corpo anatomizzato, andando a rintracciare i divieti di tipo religioso, i tabù psicologici, antropologici e sociologici legati alla profanazione dei morti.
[De l'editor de la trad. angl.:] We usually see the Renaissance as a marked departure from older traditions, but Renaissance scholars often continued to cling to the teachings of the past. For instance, despite the evidence of their own dissections, which contradicted ancient and medieval texts, Renaissance anatomists continued to teach those outdated views for nearly two centuries. In Books of the Body, Andrea Carlino explores the nature and causes of this intellectual inertia. On the one hand, anatomical practice was constrained by a reverence for classical texts and the belief that the study of anatomy was more properly part of natural philosophy than of medicine. On the other hand, cultural resistance to dissection and dismemberment of the human body, as well as moral and social norms that governed access to cadavers and the ritual of their public display in the anatomy theater, also delayed anatomy's development. A fascinating history of both Renaissance anatomists and the bodies they dissected, this book will interest anyone studying Renaissance science, medicine, art, religion, and society.
