Gendered touch looks at both how representations of gendered bodies contributed to the production of knowledge, and at how practice itself was gendered. By exploring new archival material and by reading anew printed sources, the book inquiries about how knowledge was produced, translated, appropriated, and transmitted among different kinds of actors – both women and men – such as craftspeople, physicians, alchemists, apothecaries, music theorists, natural philosophers, and natural historians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents   List of Figures   Notes on Contributors      Introduction: Gender, History, and Science in Early Modern Europe    Francesca Antonelli and Paolo Savoia      Part 1: The Gendered Construction of Textual Traditions:  The Case of Maria the Alchemist   1 Maria the Alchemist and Her Famous Heated Bath in the Arabo-Islamic Tradition    Lucia Raggetti      2 Maria’s Practica in Early Modern Alchemy    Matteo Martelli      Part 2: Domestic and Apothecary Workshops: Food and Pharmacy  in the Seventeenth Century   3 Cheese-Making and Knowledge-Making: Women’s Expertise and  Men’s Explanation    Paolo Savoia      4 Making Marmalade and Conserving Fruit within the Architecture of Seventeenth-Century Courtly Entertainment    Juliet Claxton      5 Women in Secrets: Medical Inventions between Household, Guilds and Small Scale-Economy    Sabrina Minuzzi      Part 3: Eighteenth-century Spaces of Gendered Knowledge   6 The “Anonymous Neapolitan”: Faustina Pignatelli and the Bologna Academy of Sciences    Paula Findlen      7 Note-taking and Self-promotion: Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier as a Secrétaire (1772–1792)    Francesca Antonelli      8 Musical Bodies: Materiality, Gender, and Knowledge in Musical Performance in 18th-century France    Amparo Fontaine      Postface      On Hands, Feelings, and a Nose: Bodies Beyond Gender as Transdisciplinary Tools in Science    Paola Govoni      Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210841710935,"sku":"9789004512603","price":152.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gendered-touch-women-men-and-knowledge-making-in-early-modern-europe-9789004512603","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
