Abstract
Abstract:This article takes photographer August Sander's portfolio "The Doctor and the Pharmacist" as an opportunity to reflect on tensions and fractures in German medicine in the modern era. This group of twelve portraits, which includes both professional and—in the person of three practitioners of alternative medicine—non-professional physicians, draws attention to the complex and often contradictory process of boundary formation that accompanied the emergence of scientific medicine in the early twentieth century. The article also considers the complex relation of the photographic medium itself to this process of boundary formation.
摘要:本文以摄影师奥古斯特·桑德(August Sander)的作品集《医生与药剂师》(The Doctor and The pharmacists)为契机,反思当代德国医学的紧张与断裂。这组十二幅肖像,其中包括专业医生和三名替代医学从业者,非专业医生,引起人们对20世纪初科学医学出现的复杂且经常相互矛盾的边界形成过程的关注。文章还考虑了摄影媒介本身与这一边界形成过程的复杂关系。
