Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thomas Haigh on the History of “AI” as a Brand
Q: So why did you decide to take this brand angle, and what kind of work does it do for you to do that?
Haigh explains that the branding concept helps understand how various technologies have been categorized as AI and how this categorization has changed over time.
Taylor McCall, "The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe" (Reaktion Books, 2023)
Q: What are they supposed to do?
The meaning of the images depended on the author and context, with many illustrating competing ideas surrounding anatomy rather than a single unified body of knowledge.
Taylor McCall, "The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe" (Reaktion Books, 2023)
Q: How do these monks in Bavaria learn about this?
It's most likely that the medieval medical images were reproductions of late antique imagery, especially from the late Roman period, as new types only began appearing around the 12th century.
Taylor McCall, "The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe" (Reaktion Books, 2023)
Q: What are these monks doing with the anatomical diagrams?
Monks included anatomical images in religious texts to understand their physical selves in relation to God's creation, viewing scientific study as part of spiritual knowledge.
Taylor McCall, "The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe" (Reaktion Books, 2023)
Q: Can you tell me how you came to be interested in Medieval Anatomy and how you came to write the book?
McCall was influenced by her undergraduate mentor, leading her to specialize in anatomical images during her master's and later PhD studies. She aimed to make her book accessible to a wider audience.
