CARDONA RODAS, Hilderman. Body-Skin-Language. Syphilis in the Field of Enunciation of Clinical Dermatology. Secuencia [online]. 2019, n.104, e1608.  Epub 11-Feb-2019. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i104.1608.

This text poses a question regarding the body as a space of medical representation, linked to the disease’s deforming effects on it in the second half of the 19th century, as an archive in a Colombian-Spanish documentary series. The disease produces a sound, which when listened to, tells of the traces on the body’s unsettling landscape: skin. Thus the text reveals the speaking bodies that howl about the intersubjective experiences of the disease through the mediation between doctor and patient, in which a wise discourse captures the symptoms of the pain spread over the skin of the sufferer. The latter emerges and lends a voice to their subjective experience as a platform for expression for clinical dermatological taxonomies in the second half of the 19th century.

Palabras llave : skin; language; clinical dermatology; 19^th century.
