Abstract

ALVES, Wedencley. O espetáculo do saber: corpos, imagens e materialidades médicas. Rev. Epos [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.2. ISSN 2178-700X.

Thanks to a well-mounted operation for iconization of computer language, which takes place in graphic interfaces, and who was also responsible, in the nineties, for transforming the Internet in a web, we get to see information, including scientific information. Stock Pictures gives you access to detailed image files on the brain, setting discursive marks in visual materialities about what can be characterized as a disease, such as health. These files are not only the embodiment of a memory and a modus operandi of contemporary medicine, but also, when they are public records, socialize a discursive memory about the normal and the pathological. Understanding this process is the objective of this work.

Keywords : Bodies; images; medicine.
