Visualising Nature

Making Images and the Production of Biological Knowledge from Early Modern Natural History to Contemporary Life Sciences

The 2007 summer school will explore the relationship between making and knowing in the biological sciences as mediated by visual culture from the Renaissance to the modern day. We intend to focus on three interrelated themes. One theme concerns craft practices and the development of visualising technologies. The second theme concerns the historical relation between theory and image in the formation of scientific arguments.Third, there are the cognitive claims about reality that are made through images.
