X - rays are powerful. Moving through objects undetected revealing the body as a tryptic of skin tissue and bone. X - rays gave rise to a transparent world and the belief that transparency conveys truth. It stands to reason then that our relationship with X - rays would be a complicated one of fear and fascination acceptance and resistance confusion and curiosity. In X - ray Nicole Lobdell explores when where and how we use X - rays what meanings we give them what metaphors we make out of them and why despite our fears we're still fascinated with them. In doing so she draws from a variety of fields including the history of medicine science and technology studies literature art material culture film comics gender studies architecture and industrial design. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: X - Ray\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Lobdell Dr. Nicole (Assistant Professor Of English Northwestern State University Usa)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781501386701\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 152 Pages, 12 B\u0026amp;W Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Object Lessons\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Radiology","brand":"Lobdell Dr. Nicole (Assistant Professor Of English Northwestern State University Usa)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334118605105,"sku":"IN-G-9781501386701","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781501386701.jpg?v=1746954728","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781501386701-x-ray","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
