DESCRIPTION:Nick Hopwood (University of Cambridge)\n\nEmbryos come in deve
 lopmental series. These arrangements of progressively more complex forms h
 ave been constructed through such practices as collection\, dissection\, d
 rawing\, modelling\, ordering and selection\, publication and display. The
  work has been hardest for human embryos and fetuses\, and most contested.
  By reconstructing how it has changed\, and the social relations it has in
 volved\, we can tell a history of development. The lecture will survey the
  making of series of human embryos from the mid-eighteenth century\, when 
 they were almost nowhere to be seen\, to the present day\, when they routi
 nely stand for the course of pregnancies and may be generated in IVF clini
 cs. It will pay special attention to the changing ways that disposition in
  series has shaped the viewing of embryos and fetuses. But it will also re
 flect on a persistent tension between what by 1902 could be called ‘a ci
 nematographic procession’ and the display of isolated images.
