Visual Standards and Disciplinary Change: Normal Plates, Tables and Stages in Embryology (2005)

unapi

This article reconstructs the rise over the last two centuries of normal tables and the related normal plates and stages, and reflects on the relations between visual standards and disciplinary change in embryology. In the nineteenth century embryology was a central approach to animal life and a pillar of Darwinism. More than any other science, embryology has organized its objects in developmental series. During the nineteenth century visual representations of development became more prominent than textual descriptions, and in embryology perhaps especially central.

Description On the use of visual representations of embryological change in the form of normal plates, tables, and stages and their relationship to disciplinary change in embryology in the 19th and 20th centuries.
