Download or read book Living with Epidemics in Colonial Bengal written by Arabinda Samanta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making epidemics in colonial Bengal as its entry point and drawing heavily on social, cultural and linguistic anthropology to understand the functions of health experiences, distribution of illness, prevention of sickness, social relations of therapeutic intervention and employment of pluralistic medical systems, the book interrogates the social construction of medical knowledge, politics of science, and the changing paradigm of relationship between health of the individual and the prerogatives of larger colonial economic formations. Smallpox, plague, cholera and malaria which visited colonial Bengal with epidemic vengeance, caught the people unaware, killed them in thousands, and changed the society and its demographic structures. The book shows how sometimes through mutual adaptation but more often by cultural contestation, people pulled on with their microbial fellow travellers, and how illness became metaphor for the social dangers of improper code of conduct, to be corrected only through personal expropriation of the sin committed, or by community worship of the deity supposedly responsible for it. As a result, Western medical science was often relegated to the background, and elaborate rites and rituals, supposedly having curative values, came to the forefront and were observed with much community fanfare. Epidemics were also interpreted as outcome of politically incorrect moves made by the ruling power. To right the wrongs, people very often resorted to social protest. The protest by the literati went sometimes muted when its members seem to be beneficiaries of the colonial government, but it turned out to be all the more violent when the people, who had no private axe to grind, took up the cudgel to fight it out.
Download or read book Homeopathy and the Bacteriological Revolution 1880 1895 written by Carol‐Ann Galego and published by KVC Verlag NATUR UND MEDIZIN e.V.. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her study, Carol-Ann Galego applies Michel Foucault's genealogical method to modern medicine's protracted war on pathogens. She excavates the early struggles that bacteriology generally, and in particular its articulation of germ theory, encountered before achieving widespread acceptance. The focus of her analysis is the responses of homeopaths in Germany and England to developments in bacteriology between 1880 and 1895 - fifteen eventful years of the "bacteriological revolution" that overlap with the fifth cholera epidemic of the nineteenth century. During these formative years, the convergence of bacteriologists' isolation and cultivation of microbes with medical efforts to quell the ravages of cholera gave rise to the now predominant understanding of infectious disease as an invasion of pathogens. At the time, however, such an antagonistic response to the threat of infectious disease was anything but unanimous. As Galego demonstrates, the nuanced understandings of disease etiology that homeopaths developed during these years, alongside their efforts to confront cholera, construct a different narrative, one that provides a fascinating counterhistory to the development of modern bacteriology and its alienating relations to microbial life.

Book excerpt: Fur die historische Entwicklung der Psychiatrie stellt das 19. Jahrhundert eine entscheidende Epoche dar. In dieses Jahrhundert fallen Prozesse und Ereignisse, die bis heute die Struktur und Ausrichtung des Faches massgeblich pragen: So ist die Entstehung der Psychiatrie als wissenschaftliche Disziplin und therapeutische Praxis mit der Tatigkeit von namhaften Psychiatern dieses Jahrhunderts, wie Reil, Heinroth, Jacobi, Griesinger oder Kraepelin, verbunden. Ebenso ist die feste Institutionalisierung des Fachs in staatlichen und privaten Versorgungseinrichtungen durch konkrete soziale, wirtschaftliche und politische Ereignisse des 19. Jahrhunderts massgeblich gepragt. Weiter steht das 19. Jahrhundert fur die 'Medikalisierung' des Faches und fur seine Abgrenzung sowohl gegenuber anderen medizinischen Fachrichtungen als auch gegenuber der Theologie und der Jurisprudenz. Schliesslich ist die Etablierung der Psychiatrie als universitares Fach - mit der Einrichtung von Universitatskliniken und ordentlichen Professuren - eine Entwicklung, die ihre Wurzeln und Bedingungsfaktoren ganz wesentlich in der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts im deutschsprachigen Raum hat. Uberblickt man den heutigen Stand der Psychiatrie in Deutschland, aber auch international, so wird deutlich, wie sehr das Fach von diesen historischen Vermachtnissen gepragt worden ist. Auch wenn das 20. Jahrhundert mit zum Teil fatalen und einschneidenden Ereignissen und Entwicklungen verbunden war, weisen die vorangegangenen Weichenstellungen doch auf eine uberraschende Aktualitat des 19. Jahrhunderts fur die Psychiatrie des 21. Jahrhunderts hin.
Download or read book Asymmetrical Conversations written by Harish Naraindas and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideas about health are reinforced by institutions and their corresponding practices, such as donning a patient's gown in a hospital or prostrating before a healing shrine. Even though we are socialized into regarding such ideologies as "natural" and unproblematic, we sometimes seek to bypass, circumvent, or even transcend the dominant ideologies of our cultures as they are manifested in the institutions of health care. The contributors to this volume describe such contestations and circumventions of health ideologies, and the blurring of therapeutic boundaries, on the basis of case studies from India, the South Asian Diaspora, and Europe, focusing on relations between body, mind, and spirit in a variety of situations. The result is not always the "live and let live" medical pluralism that is described in the literature.

Download or read book The Crimes of Women in Early Modern Germany written by Ulinka Rublack and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-02-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Crimes of Women in Early Modern Germany' is a fascinating study of 'deviant' women. It is the first scholarly account of how women were prosecuted for theft, infanticide, and sexual crimes in early modern Germany, and challenges the assumption that women were treated more leniently than men. Ulinka Rublack uses criminal trials to illuminate the social status and conflicts of women living through the Reformation and Thirty Years War, telling, for the first time, the stories of cutpurses, maidservants' dangerous liaisons, and artisans' troubled marriages. She provides a thought-provoking analysis of labelling and sentencing processes, and of the punishments inflicted on those found guilty. Above all, she brilliantly engages with the way 'ordinary' women experienced authority and sexuality, household and community.
