Medicine, Morality, and Political Culture
Analyzing the political culture of the social-democratic Scandinavians, the conservative Germans, and the liberal British, this book charts the interrelation between medicine and sexual morality, and debates the influence of gender, sexuality, and religion on policies geared toward combatting venereal diseases. With in-depth studies of parliamentary discussions covering all of the late 19th and 20th centuries, it answers questions such as How much attention did national legislation pay to medical opinions? How did governments in five Northern European countries act to restrain the spread of venereal disease? and How did legislation in Scandinavian countries differ from German and British legislation? Thorough and informative, this examination will especially interest historians, sociologists, social anthropologists, ethnologists, and medical researchers.
Sex, Sin and Suffering
This volume brings together for the first time a series of studies on the social history of venereal disease in modern Europe and its former colonies. It explores, from a comparative perspective, the responses of legal, medical and political authorities to the 'Great Scourge'. In particular, how such responses reflected and shaped social attitudes towards sexuality and social relationships of class, gender, generation and race.
PolÃtica, salud y enfermedad en España: entre el desarrollismo y la transición democrática.
Esta obra pretende aportar nuevas perspectivas en el conocimiento que tenÃamos de la gestión de la salud y la enfermedad en España en un amplio perÃodo de tiempo, que abarca desde los años veinte y treinta del siglo XX pasando por el franquismo, la década de los noventa del pasado siglo y llegando a la época actual. La situación ha cambiado notablemente y hoy tenemos una amplia historiografÃa sobre todos estos periodos. Algunos de los capÃtulos son el resultado de investigaciones que se están llevando a cabo en proyectos financiados por el Ministerio de EconomÃa y Competitividad. Otros se deben a la experiencia de académicos que, desde diversas instancias institucionales, participaron en la gestión de la salud y la enfermedad durante los dos últimos decenios del franquismo y en la transición a la democracia.
Barcelona
"Espacios mágicos y rituales, laboratorios de la cultura y de la técnica, los pasajes permiten pensar el gran texto urbano desde sus notas a pie de página. En Barcelona hay cerca de cuatrocientos. Algunos son caminos que conducen a un pasado rural; otros, pasadizos proletarios o callejones de chabolas que hablan de la metrópolis fabril y del franquismo; los más famosos tienen forma de intersecciones ajardinadas y de galerÃas burguesas del siglo xix; los más recientes están en polÃgonos industriales o acogen casas con piscina y restaurantes para turistas. Jorge Carrión ha viajado por todos ellos, los ha estudiado, los ha leÃdo, para acceder a una dimensión de Barcelona que no habÃ...
