The now-destroyed Abbey of Maubuisson, situated just northwest of Paris, was a religious foundation that housed an unusual number of visceral objects. By charting a long and consistent history of distinctly bodily artworks commissioned for the institution, this article unearths a proclivity at Maubuisson for flipping human forms inside-out. From the abbey’s Shrine Madonna and the controversially divided body of its founder, Blanche of Castile, to its multiple entrail tombs memorialising generations of royal body-parts, and even the performative discovery of ancient intestines hidden within its very walls, the article reconstructs what we might call an anatomical instinct at work across Maubuisson’s medieval and early modern history.

由内而外的身体：莫比森修道院的解剖记忆

现已毁坏的莫比松修道院位于巴黎西北部，是一个宗教基金会，里面存放着数量不寻常的内脏物品。通过绘制为该机构委托制作的具有明显身体特征的艺术品的悠久而一致的历史，这篇文章揭示了莫比森将人类由内而外翻转的倾向。从修道院的圣母玛利亚神殿和其创始人卡斯蒂利亚布兰奇的有争议的分裂身体，到纪念几代皇室身体部位的多个内脏坟墓，甚至隐藏在其墙壁内的古代肠道的表演发现，这篇文章重建了我们在莫比松的中世纪和近代早期历史中，解剖学的本能在起作用。
