New ISP Secretary and Treasurer Please join me in congratulating and welcoming our new Secretary, Selcuk Tunali, and Treasurer Joshua Lopez as they begin their duties as officers of the ISP. My gratitude is extended to the departing Secretary Christoph von Horst and Treasurer Ameed Raoof for their heartfelt service and commitment to the International Society for Plastination. New Bylaws and Constitution I encourage ISP members to read the new bylaws and constitution voted on by the membership last June and adopted by the general assembly of the society in July at Saint Petersburg. The bylaws are published in pages 58 to 64 in this issue of the Journal. These bylaws contain several changes including new categories of membership, and also changes to the governance of the Society. Student Membership During the ISP Business meeting in Saint Petersburg it was suggested that we create a student membership. This category of membership will be proposed as an amendment to the by-laws in 2016. The general assembly approved the creation of student membership to be in effect immediately. To be a student member, the candidate must be sponsored by an ISP member in good standing. Please refer to pages 55 to 57 for the minutes of the general assembly for more information. The Journal of Plastination 26(1):3 (2014) The 18th International Conference of Plastination - 2016 It gives me great pleasure to announce that the general assembly unanimously chose the City of Pereira, Colombia, to host the 2016 ICP. The organization will take place under Dr. Ricardo Jimenez. A planning organizing committee for the Conference was created. It will be composed of: Ricardo Jimenez, Ameed Raoof, Constantin Sora, Dmitry Starchik, Robert Henry, Abrahim Albustanji, Nicolas Ernesto Ottone and the President. New Members I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new members. Thank you for joining the ISP. Your enthusiasm and interest in plastination will spark a new exchange of ideas among both new and existing members of the ISP. I am grateful for the knowledge and dedication of our existing members as well, and am looking forward to a great year with our increased membership. Finally, I would like to ask you to become actively involved in our society. Share your knowledge of plastination. Participate by attending the ISP sponsored conferences, joining the standing committees, contributing to the editorial board of the Journal, by submitting articles to the Journal of Plastination, or contributing to our ListServe. You will stimulate growth and help make the ISP a valuable instrument of knowledge, innovation and collaboration for the advancement of plastination. With my warmest regards from Toledo, Ohio, USA Yours Sincerely Carlos A. C. Baptista President The Journal of Plastination 26(1):4 (2014) LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Readers, I feel hugely honoured to be appointed Editor of the Journal of Plastination. Carlos Baptista has been an inspirational interim editor for the last couple of years, and was responsible for the relaunch (one could almost say rebirth!) of the new-look Journal in 2010. I am sure I speak for the membership as a whole when I say that huge thanks are due to him for the healthy state of the Journal at present. I have had the pleasure working first with Ming Zhang, then with Carlos and Selcuk Tunali, since 2010 when the former ‘Journal of the International Society for Plastination’ morphed (almost!) seamlessly into the Journal of Plastination. It may be worth remembering a comment from Craig Goodmurphy at the 15th Biennial Business Meeting of the International Society for Plastination, held in Honolulu in July 2010. Craig suggested that “the objective of the Journal of Plastination be expanded to provide a medium for the publication of scientific Philip J. Adds, MSc, FIBMS papers dealing with all aspects of preservation of biological specimens including plastination, sectional anatomy and other anatomical techniques”. This was endorsed by many other members at the meeting, and is a sentiment I share as we look forward to the challenges ahead. The original journal was born in 1987, under the editorship of Harmon Bickley (the cover page of the first issue is shown below). The first article to be published in the new Journal of the International Society for Plastination was by Karine Oostrom from Utrecht in The Netherlands: “Fixation of Tissue for Plastination: general principles”. The article goes on to discuss different methods of fixation, color preservation, color injection, health hazards and employee safety; it lists the PPE worn in Heidelberg – “rubber gloves, plastic aprons and goggles or gas masks” and finishes with this comment: “Those of you who attended the Third International Conference on Plastination in San Antonio will certainly recall the slide in which three young ladies modeled these fashionable accessories, and nothing else. The editor was adamant that we omit this illustration, however it would have served to show that even fixation can be fun.” It is nice to see that high editorial standards were set right from the start! The first issue also contained a paper co- authored by Gunther von Hagens (Guhr et al., “Complete Examination of Mastectomy Specimens Using Sheet Plastination With Epoxy Resin”). Nearly thirty years later the ISP’s links with the von Hagens dynasty are still strong, and we are pleased to publish in this issue an abstract from his son, Rurik, who gave an excellent presentation at the 17th International Conference on Plastination in St. Petersburg earlier this year. Other notable authors from 1987 include Bob Henry, whose first paper in a long line The Journal of Plastination 26(1):5 (2014) of distinguished contributions came in Volume 1, issue 2: “Plastination of an Integral Heart-Lung Specimen”; two years later, Volume 3 saw two papers from the current President of the ISP, Carlos Baptista: “Plastination of the Heart: Preparation for the study of the cardiac valves”, and “Plastination of the Wrist: Potential Uses in Education And Clinical Medicine”. Enough of the past – what of the future? We intend to continue the tradition of bringing out two issues each year, and this issue will be swiftly followed by Volume 26 no. 2, which will include as many papers as possible from the presentations given in St. Petersburg, as well as other papers on aspects of plastination and tissue preservation. My goal is for The Journal of Plastination to have its impact factor listed, and for it to be indexed to PubMed.

Sagittsl section, part of a series demonstrating the anatomy of the head, prepared for the Mutter Muaeum by Dr. Joseph P. Tunis (1866-1936), 1910 (www.blastbooks.com). When a human body part is removed and preserved after death, what kinds of identity remain attached to it? There are the extremes of complete anonymity and the named remains of a famous or infamous person, but there are many shades of gray in between. Is the specimen that of a known individual or recognizable only as a race and gender? What reason would someone have to designate the preservation of his remains and ensure that the narrative of his life stays permanently attached? Does a very personal part, like face or skin, commemorate the life of that particular body or can it still be used to represent universal human anatomy? The answers are in part determined by whether the donor wanted his or her identity associated with the specimen. I examine the gradations of identity as represented by three museum objects in three different time periods. The first is the autobiography of a nineteenth-century criminal bound at his request in iii his skin (at the Boston Athenaeum).

  • Body Worlds: Towards an Interdisciplinary Approach to Science Exhibitions
    Making Meaning of von Hagens’ Body Worlds: Towards an Interdisciplinary Approach to Science Exhibitions by Michelle Melodie Dubek A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Michelle Melodie Dubek 2013 Making Meaning of von Hagens’ Body Worlds: Towards an Interdisciplinary Approach to Science Exhibitions Michelle Melodie Dubek Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Body Worlds is a traveling exhibition of plastinated human cadavers that offers the general public an opportunity to experience the human body in a unique way. It has been met with controversy and awe; public reactions and responses have been mixed. This case study research explored visitor responses to this controversial science exhibition, and examined the meaning visitors made of their experience. Specifically, the following research questions directed this study: Within the context of the Body Worlds exhibition: (a) What meaning did visitors make and how did they respond to the exhibits? (b) What tensions and issues arose for visitors? and (c) What did this type of exhibition convey about the changing role of science centres and the nature of their exhibitions? The primary sources of data for this study were 46 semi-structured interviews with visitors to the exhibition, observation notes, and 10 comment books including approximately 20 000 comments. Data suggested that the personal, physical, and sociocultural contexts (Falk & Dierking, 2000) contributed to visitor meaning meaning-making.

  • Body Worlds and the Victorian Freak Show
    “Skinless Wonders”: Body Worlds and the Victorian Freak Show Nadja Durbach Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Volume 69, Number 1, January 2014, pp. 38-67 (Article) Published by Oxford University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/jhm/summary/v069/69.1.durbach.html Access provided by Middlebury College (28 Jul 2014 12:06 GMT) “Skinless Wonders”: Body Worlds and the Victorian Freak Show NADJA DURBACH Department of History, University of Utah, Carolyn Tanner Irish Humanities Building, 215 South Central Campus Drive, Room 310, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. In 2002, Gunther von Hagens’s display of plastinated corpses opened in London. Although the public was fascinated by Body Worlds, the media largely castigated the exhibition by dismissing it as a resuscitated Victorian freak show. By using the freak show analogy, the British press expressed their moral objection to this type of bodily display. But Body Worlds and nineteenth-century displays of human anomalies were linked in more complex and telling ways as both attempted to be simultaneously entertaining and educational. This essay argues that these forms of corpo- real exhibitionism are both examples of the dynamic relationship between the popular and professional cultures of the body that we often errone- ously think of as separate and discrete. By reading Body Worlds against the Victorian freak show, I seek to generate a fuller understanding of the his- torical and enduring relationship between exhibitionary culture and the discourses of science, and thus to argue that the scientific and the spectac- ular have been, and clearly continue to be, symbiotic modes of generating bodily knowledge.

  • Dr. Gunther Von Hagens Inventor of Plastination – Creator of BODY WORLDS
    Dr. Gunther von Hagens Inventor of Plastination – Creator of BODY WORLDS Bringing the anatomy of humans and animals to audiences worldwide: Dr. Gunther von Hagens is not only a physician and anatomist but also a scientist and inventor. He is recognized as a forward-thinking free spirit who made the human body accessible for education and research in unprecedented ways. Dr. Gunther von Hagens began his medical studies at the University of Jena in 1965. He was arrested while attempting to flee East Germany after distributing leaflets in protest against the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops. In 1970, West German authorities secured his freedom. He completed his medical studies at the University of Lubeck in 1973 and a year later he received his license to practice medicine. He then moved to the University of Heidelberg, where he completed his doctorate in the Department of Anaesthesia and Emergency Medicine. In 1975, he began to work at the Institutes of Anatomy and Pathology, which ignited his passion for invention and to teach anatomy in a new way. It was in 1977 at the University of Heidelberg that he invented plastination, a vacuum technique to permanently preserve anatomical specimens with reactive plastics specially developed for this purpose. He subsequently founded BIODUR® Products to market the respective polymers and equipment to other institutions around the world. In order to bring plastination to a wider audience, he founded the Institute for Plastination in 1993. Soon after, together with his colleague and wife Dr. Angelina Whalley, he created the first anatomical exhibition of real human bodies, titled BODY WORLDS, which has now seen by more than 47 million people worldwide.

  • The Documentary Handbook
    The Documentary Handbook The Documentary Handbook takes a thematic approach to documentary, including chapters on the many myriad forms we watch today – from the cinematic releases of Michael Moore to low-budget internet efforts like Video Nation, from ‘shock docs’ to reality television. The Documentary Handbook is a critical introduction to the documentary film, its theory and changing practices. The book charts the evolution of the documentary from screen art to core television genre, its metamorphosis into many different types of factual TV programmes and its current emergence in forms of new media. It analyses those pathways and the transformation of means of production through economic, technical and editorial changes. The Documentary Handbook explains the documentary process, skills and job specifica- tions for everyone from industry entrants to senior personnel, and shows how the industrial evolution of television has relocated the powers and principles of decision-making. Through the use of professional ‘expert briefings’ it gives practical pointers about programme- making, from researching, developing and pitching programme ideas to their production and delivery through a fast-evolving multi-platform universe. Peter Lee-Wright is a documentary filmmaker with 30 years’ experience working for the BBC and Channel 4. He is currently Senior Lecturer in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. His most recent writing includes critical overviews of sports documentary and trade union documentary in Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film (2005) and analysis of the changes taking place in multimedia news, notably in New Media, Old News (edited by Natalie Fenton, 2009). Media Practice Edited by James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London The Media Practice handbooks are comprehensive resource books for students of media and journalism, and for anyone planning a career as a media professional.

  • The Problematic Exposure of Flesh
    THE PROBLEMATIC EXP OSURE OF FLESH For over a decade, plastinator Gunter von Hagen has enraged and fascinated audiences around the world through his always controversial Body World shows. His work is carried out in the name of education but at times ethical considerations around his work tend to focus on the inappropriateness of some displays.
