FROM PHOTOGRAPHY TO FMRI - PAULA MUHR KARTONIER...

Hysteria  a mysterious disease known since antiquity  is said to have ceased to exist.
Challenging this commonly held view  this is the first cross-disciplinary study to examine the
current functional neuroimaging research into hysteria and compare it to the nineteenth-century
image-based research into the same disorder. Paula Muhr's central argument is that  both in the
nineteenth-century and the current neurobiological research on hysteria  images have enabled
researchers to generate new medical insights. Through detailed case studies  Muhr traces how
different images  from photography to functional brain scans  have reshaped the historically
situated medical understanding of this disorder that defies the mind-body dualism.
