The project Medical Electricity, Embodied Experiences, and Knowledge Construction in Europe and the Atlantic World, c.1740–1840 (ELBOW) uses medical electricity as a window into examining not simply how scientific knowledge was constructed in the long eighteenth century— but more specifically, into the role of embodied experience in this process.
