Granting historicity to scientific objects: The analysis of the life history of “the outermost order of the muscle, back view”

Öz

Scientific objects like human beings have their own stories. Thus, the examination of their lifespans and how they transform in different contexts can reveal not only information about the objects themselves, but also their social and human circumstances. This article follows the long ‘travel’ of an image from Albinus’ anatomy book, “The Outermost Order of the Muscle, Back View”, with the goal of illuminating its transformation process through different historical and social contexts. When Albinus was drawing the image, his intent was to create an “ideal body”. This sort of image would be a perfect reference point for the standardization among the plentiful bodies in nature. The article then discusses how the image was appropriated by Diderot and d’Alembert in their grand work Encyclopédie. The philosophers juxtasposed this particular image to other anatomy pictures drawn by other scientists and offered multiple perspectives, rather than imposing a single perspective on the reader as in the case of Albinus. And lastly the image travelled to Şanizade’s Miratü’l-Ebdan, where it lost its original scientific meaning and turned into a signifier of the emergence of “new science” in the Ottoman Empire.
