Significant contribution to the field of Munch studies, as well as to the broader histories of medicine, the medical humanities and curating. The book addresses what it means to be human in the face of illness and care - an experience that unites us all.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the course of Edvard Munch's lifetime, discoveries such as X-rays, germ theory, antibiotics and contraception transformed our understanding of the body forever. The exhibition \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLifeblood - Edvard Munch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e places the Norwegian artist at the heart of this dramatic development, juxtaposing his works with skeletons, scalpels, sputum bottles and a range of other objects from the history of modern healthcare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book, these objects are given voice and presence through a diverse selection of texts written by art and medical historians, healthcare workers, activists, museum professionals, artists and writers. Each contribution takes works or objects from the exhibition as its point of departure, using them as an entryway into the complex terrain of care. The maps they draw are not the same - and that is precisely the point: medical experience is never uniform, but shaped by each individual's circumstances and identities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richly illustrated, with contributions by exhibition curator Allison Morehead and by Fatema Abdoolcarim, Patricia G.
