Imagining illness: Public health and visual culture. Edited by David Serlin.Minneapolis,MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2010."From seventeenth-century broadsides about the handling of dead bodies, printed during London's plague years, to YouTube videos about preventing the transmission of STDs, public health advocacy and education has always had a powerful visual component. Imagining Illness explores the diverse visual culture of public health, broadly defined, from the nineteenth century to the present.
"Contributors to this volume examine historical and contemporary visual practices-Chinese health fairs, documentary films produced by the World Health Organization, illness maps, fashions for nurses, and live surgery on the Internet-in order to delve into the political and epidemiological contexts underlying their creation and dissemination." (Publisher). Chapter 11: "Performing live surgery on television and the Internet since 1945" by David Serlin.
