Atlas of queer anatomy

Uittreksel

"Artist Kuang-Yi Ku and STI specialist Prof. Dr. Henry de Vries reimagine the human form, dismantling the patriarchal, heteronormative, and Western-centric frameworks of classical anatomy. Atlas of Queer Anatomy raises critical questions about the way bodies are understood and represented, offering fresh perspectives on the diversity and fluidity of human anatomy. What does it mean to visualize the transmission of STIs as an interplay between human bodies and microorganisms? How can intersex anatomies challenge the rigid binaries of traditional medical education? Why are gender-affirming surgeries so absent from anatomy textbooks, and what happens when we redefine "original bodies"? What stories do body odors tell about our symbiotic relationship with invisible ecosystems? And how do sex toys expand the boundaries between the human body and machines?" -- Provided by publisher.
