Leprosy in China pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Angela Ki Che Leung's meticulous study begins with the classical annals of the imperial era, which contain the first descriptions of a feared and stigmatized disorder modern researchers now identify as leprosy. She then tracks the relationship between the disease and China's social and political spheres (theories of contagion prompted community and statewide efforts at segregation); religious traditions (Buddhism and Daoism ascribed redemptive meaning to those suffering from the disease), and evolving medical discourse (Chinese doctors have contested the disease's etiology for centuries). Leprosy even pops up in Chinese folklore, attributing the spread of the contagion to contact with immoral women. Leung next places the history of leprosy into a global context of colonialism, racial politics, and "imperial danger." A perceived global pandemic in the late nineteenth century seemed to confirm Westerners' fears that Chinese immigration threatened public health.
Therefore battling to contain, if not eliminate, the disease became a central mission of the modernizing, state-building projects of the late Qing empire, the nationalist government of the first half of the twentieth century, and the People's Republic of China. Stamping out the curse of leprosy was the first step toward achieving "hygienic modernity" and erasing the cultural and economic backwardness associated with the disease. Leung's final move connects China's experience with leprosy to a larger history of public health and biomedical regimes of power, exploring the cultural and political implications of China's Sino-Western approach to the disease.
Angela Ki Che Leung received her B.A. degree from Hong Kong University and her doctoral degree at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris. She has worked as a research fellow at the Academia Sinica of Taiwan since 1982, teaching in the history department of the National Taiwan University as well. Her primary focus is on the social history of medicine in late imperial China, and she heads a research group on the history of health and hygiene in modern Chinese East Asian societies at the Academia Sinica.
标记Reading,看了明清麻风院部分,在讲疾病,也在讲政府态度
评分后殖民的色彩太重,有些argument走得太远,当然考虑到读者是英语使用者可以理解这种调调。疾病史永远不能解决的问题就是怎么证明过去的疾病等于今天的疾病。关于癞病的隐喻甚至可以应用在民族国家建立时期影响公共卫生健康的任何一种大型传染病身上。
评分挺不错的一本书,最好的部分在宋到清那段,近代现代的部分感觉有点平淡
评分So expensive!!!!!
评分醫療史必讀書,只不過有些地方不夠“給力”啊(剛知道有這個詞,現學現用了)。。
读完这样的一本书内心是十分震撼的,既对作者的史学功底表示由衷的佩服,又对这一选题所揭露的历史事实表示错愕又感慨。 传统医学对于麻风从医学关注的中心“风证”逐渐变为边缘的“外科”,最后成为了东南一代的污名化的地方病,这与社会的兴替、思潮的涌动都有着密不可分的联...
