- This monograph results from extensive interdisciplinary research that includes bio-medical practices and technologies, legal frameworks, visual culture, museum display and contemporary performance. Its breadth necessitated wide-ranging study in these different domains in order to develop the new critical paradigm of ‘specimenhood’, which operates at the interface between medicine and performance. Through its examination of medical displays in museums, anatomical models, selected clinical practices and contemporary performance, this monograph establishes an original mode of analysis for interdisciplinary research, particularly in the fields of the medical humanities and performance studies.
