Abstract

Language:

The interaction between electricity and life sciences has evolved significantly over the centuries, shedding light on the importance of hybrid objects in scientific inquiry. This volume, edited by Giuliano Pancaldi, seeks to explore various episodes from the mid-18th century to the present that exemplify these interrelations. Through a collection of essays, it presents a historiographical approach that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, showcasing how the study of electricity has been intertwined with medical practices and technological advancements. The contributors delve into topics ranging from early electro-medicine in 18th-century Italy to the implications of electrical hybrids and their roles in both historical and modern contexts. The essays highlight specific cases and innovations that illustrate the complexities of these intersections, ultimately aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of how electricity has influenced the life sciences and vice versa. This work not only emphasizes the significance of hybrid objects in scientific development but also advocates for a more nuanced understanding of historical narratives in the fields of science and technology.
