Subject: article on history of dioramas
I am involved in a history of science discussion group that, this
semester, is focused on how people visualize/d science and natural
history- in particular looking at three dimensional representations of
anatomy, botany, ob/gyn and then tracing a 20th century switch to more 2
dimensional or virtual depictions of objects. I am looking for articles
on natural history museum displays, in particular dioramas, that examine
them as social constructs but more particularly as a way of seeing
nature- a way that may well have changed with the advent of other media.
Does anyone know of any such articles?
