Описание: This book is a history of London’s vast network of fever and smallpox hospitals, built by the Metropolitan Asylums Board between 1870 and 1900. Unprecedented in size and scope, this public infrastructure inaugurated a new technology of disease prevention—isolation. Londoners suffering from infectious diseases submitted themselves to far-reaching forms of surveillance, removal, and detention, which made them legible to science and the state in entirely new ways. Isolation on a mass scale transformed the meaning of urban epidemics and introduced contentious new relationships between health, citizenship, and the spaces of modern governance. Rich in archival sources and images, this engaging book offers innovative analysis at the intersection of preventive medicine and Victorian-era liberalism.

Описание: A new generation of scholars is currently voicing its discontent with a scholarly tradition of interpreting and explaining epidemic outbreaks, their nature, and the social and political responses they generated. More specifically, assumptions about the actual identity of diseases that struck the Islamic Mediterranean in the early modern era have recently come under close scrutiny. The scholarly tradition of assuming that the Islamic world was fatalistic in responding to epidemic disease is also coming under strenuous attack. This collection of articles aims to tackle these misconceptions head-on. Contributors to this project will be closely scrutinizing the nature of epidemic diseases that struck the Islamic Mediterranean as well as the different forms of contagion, and the myriad ways in which Muslim societies responded to such diseases. This volume aims to fill a major lacuna in the existing literature. It will contribute to Ottoman studies and the history of medicine, and be relevant to wider, global studies of the role of epidemics in history, as well as early modern and modern state formation processes.

Описание: The idea of contagious transmission, either by material particles or by infectious ideas, has played a powerful role in the development of the Western World since antiquity. Yet it acquired quite a precise signature during the process of scientific and cultural differentiation in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This volume explores the significance and cultural functions of contagionism in this period, from notions of infectious homosexuality and the concept of social contagion to the political implications of bacteriological fieldwork. The history of the concept ‘microbe’ in aesthetic modernism is adressed as well as bacteriological metaphors in American literary historiography. Within this broad framework, contagionism as a literary narrative is approached in more focussed contributions: from its emotional impact in literary modernism to the idea of physical or psychic contagion in authors such as H.G. Wells, Kurt Lasswitz, Gustav Meyrinck, Ernst Weiss, Thomas Mann and Max Frisch. This twofold approach of general topics and individual literary case studies produces a deeper understanding of the symbolic implications of contagionism marking the boundaries between sick and healthy, familiar and alien, morally pure and impure.

Описание: When a cholera pandemic swept the world in 1832, the general public were varyingly advised to surround themselves with `aromatic effluvia` to counteract the effect of bad air, avoid raw vegetables and drink warm water. In this treatise, ship`s doctor William Aiton attempts to isolate the real causes of such infectious diseases.

Описание: The reformers, who were often "outsiders," English Nonconformists or men born outside England, emerged from three coincidental transformations: transformation in medical ideas, in the nature and content of medical education, and in the sort of men who became physicians.
