We seek to bring together studies about medical photography of different time periods and different settings in the Americas, prioritizing gender as a category of analysis. Themes include, but are not limited to, the impact of medical photography on medical education, diagnosis, and histories of changing visual cultures that have informed medical treatments. How did medical photography change professional attention to the body, and the uses of the body as “evidence”? What were new revelations, or distinctions, between male and female bodies that professionals claimed? How did photography inform the link between seeing and knowing about health and illness by medical doctors or patients, how was this gendered, and how did it change over time? What effect have medical images had on professional and personal responses to illness? Under what circumstances was photography used to monitor or control patients?
