摘要

这篇文章是对一种特殊的科学对象的命运的反思-解剖收藏-和他们在当代的位置。虽然保存和展示这类藏品的现象普遍正在消失,但那些幸存下来的标本继续让我们感到困惑和着迷。我认为,要了解这些藏品的现状,以及其中的标本所唤起的怀旧之情,我们应该把它们视为现代废墟。这让我们把它们想象成缺席的地方,指向未完成的生活和未完成的科学项目。本文以弗朗西斯·莱纳解剖学人类学收藏(布加勒斯特)中保存下来的人脸的故事开始,并继续讨论该收藏的命运,以及更广泛的解剖学收藏。最后,论文问道,我们想要保存的是什么:标本、实践还是研究哲学?

Anatomy collections as "modern ruins": The nostalgia of lonely specimens.

This text is a reflection on the fate of a special kind of scientific object - anatomy collections - and their place in contemporary times. Though the phenomenon of keeping and displaying such collections is generally dying out, those specimens which survive continue to puzzle and fascinate us. To understand the current status of such collections, and the nostalgia evoked by the specimens within them, I argue, we should approach them as modern ruins. This allows us to think of them as places of absence, pointing to unfinished lives and unfinished scientific projects. The paper begins with the story of a preserved human face from the Francis I. Rainer anatomical-anthropological collection (Bucharest), and continues by discussing the fate of that collection, and of anatomy collections more widely. Ultimately, the paper asks, what is it that we want to preserve: specimens, practices, or research philosophies?

期刊介绍: Science in Context is an international journal edited at The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, with the support of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. It is devoted to the study of the sciences from the points of view of comparative epistemology and historical sociology of scientific knowledge. The journal is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of science and its cultural development - it does not segregate considerations drawn from history, philosophy and sociology. Controversies within scientific knowledge and debates about methodology are presented in their contexts.
