| Abstract | |
The Iconography Photographic Salpêtrière is a compendium of case studies and clinical trials on hysteria, epilepsy, hystero-epilepsy, and their comorbidities. Made by neurologist DésiréMagloire Bourneville (1840-1909) and physiologist Paul Regnard (1850-1927), the work was based on clinical cases studied by Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) and encouraged by him. Divided into three published volumes, dated 1877, 1878 and 1879-1880, the Iconography presents 119 photographs in the set of its tomes. Considering the unavoidable relationship between Charcot, the Salpêtrière hospital, and the iconographic work, this dissertation is divided into: (1) Presenting the trajectory of Jean-Martin Charcot and his relationship with Salpêtrière, an institution in which he consolidated his career and where he remained for three decades. Seeking to understand the institution's long history before the arrival of the neurologist, I also mention some episodes that marked its development; (2) Analyze the iconographic work both from the point of view of its narrative and its photos. Therefore, it was necessary to analyze which practices and discourses were associated with the production of these images; demonstrate how the iconographic work reiterated hysteria as a disease of women and, finally; to understand which elements, specifics to the context of the 19th century, allowed the sharing of a symbolic universe between science and art, guaranteeing to Iconography a borderline feature between these areas.
