Prejudices and stereotypes are as ancient as mankind. Why do we think we can deduce someone's characteristics by their appearance? This book is based on the contested theory of Italian doctor Lombroso on the heredity of criminality. Lombroso stated that criminal behaviour is a part of human nature. He wanted to prove some forms of criminality are hereditary. Facial features, corporal constitution... as a basis to stigmatise people. But how do we deal with appearance these days, in a multicultural society? Do we still presume 'other' features are 'suspicious'? Is there such a thing as a 'born criminal'? This book also pays attention to phenomena such as physical anthropology, craniometry and phrenology.
Published to accompany an exhibition at Museum Dr Guislain, 15 March until 20 September 2015. Through exhibitions and books, The Museum Dr. Guislain aims to put the focus on important psychiatric problems and put them in a broader social and cultural context.

Le Museum Dr Guislain à Gand entend attirer l'attention, par des expositions et publications, sur un certain nombre de problèmes psychiatriques brûlants, en les plaçant dans un contexte socioculturel plus large.
Over vooroordelen en stereotypes Vooroordelen en stereotypen zijn zo oud als de mens zelf. Reeds in de Griekse oudheid werd druk gespeculeerd over de betekenis van lichaams- en gezichtsbouw. Wat verbergt het gezicht? Is er een manier om het hoofd te 'lezen'? En bestaat er zoiets als 'de geboren crimineel'? Hoe komt het dat we geloven dat de buitenkant iets meer kan vertellen over de binnenkant, over ons brein en onze aanleg? Karakterkoppen - Over haviksneuzen en hamsterwangen gaat in tentoonstelling en boek dieper in op de relatie tussen uiterlijk-innerlijk en het gebruik in de psychiatrie, de criminologie, maar breder ook de publieke opinie. Hoewel het de geschiedenis en oude opvattingen illustreert, is de actualiteit tegelijkertijd nooit ver weg: vooroordelen en stereotypen spelen een niet te onderschatten rol in de media en in het leven van alledag. Meer nog: het is soms sterker dan onszelf. Onbewust wordt dus ook uw karakterkop nog bestudeerd!
