Winner of the 2000 William H. Welch Medal given by the American
Association for the History of Medicine. At the heart of medical
history is a deep enigma. The true structure and workings of the
human body are, we casually assume, everywhere the same, a
universal reality. But then we look into the past, and our sense of
reality wavers: accounts of the body in diverse medical traditions
often seem to describe mutually alien, almost unrelated worlds.
"The Expressiveness of the Body" meditates on the contrasts between
the human body described in classical Greek medicine and the body
as envisaged by physicians in ancient China. It asks how this most
basic of human realities came to be conceived by two sophisticated
civilizations in radically diverging ways. And it seeks answers in
fresh and unexpected topics, such as the history of tactile
knowledge, the relationship between ways of seeing and ways of
listening, and the evolution of bloodletting.
