Chapter 2 Becoming Really Dead: Dying by Degrees
Those convicted of homicide were hanged on the public gallows before being dissected under the Murder Act in Georgian England. Yet, from 1752, whether criminals actually died on the hanging tree or in the dissection room remained a medical mystery in early modern society. Dissecting the Criminal Corpse takes issue with the historical cliché of corpses dangling from the hangman’s rope in crim…

In the last forty years anthropologists have made major contributions to understanding the heterogeneity of reproductive trends and processes underlying them. Fertility transition, rather than the story of the triumphant spread of Western birth control rationality, reveals a diversity of reproductive means and ends continuing before, during, and after transition. This collection brings together…

Chapter 2 Beauty, Nature, and Society in Shaftesbury’s The Moralists
"This volume re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, the book challenges longstanding teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, a…

Chapter 2 Antiphons
This chapter centers on the genre of antiphons, which are concise liturgical melodies that frame the recitation of a psalm or groups of psalms in the offices. It begins by charting their conventional pairing with psalms in the Office of the Virgin and the Office of the Dead. As short texted pieces of monophony with modest musical contour, antiphons have a peculiar way of unfolding in books of h…

Chapter 2 Aging
According to medical tradition, aging coincides with illnesses such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease, yet is itself a ‘normal’, ‘natural’ and non-pathological process. From this perspective, anti-aging drugs are more akin to cosmetics and mind-altering drugs than to treatments in the medical sense. Yet, arguably, this traditional view of aging is incorrect. Se…
