Research Abstract |
The development of medical imaging technology, especially X-ray imaging, restructured out "body"-image. Our body became an objectively fixed data, "Body"-image und the knowledges about body, which we have now, are constructed by medicine. Medicine priviledly has and encloses those image und knowledges, and it gives us the body of authentic knowledges and images. Our lived-body is, so to say, absent. This situation is a matter-of-fect. We cannot escape from it. We should rather trace the intentions and concepts of imaging technology, which determine the act of medical imaging. It is important in this tracing to consider the fact, that medical imaging, therefore medicine in itself, has a gender-bias.
