MONSTERS with Surekha Davies

"Autrefois adossée au pouvoir de vie et de mort du souverain, l’expérimentation s’est banalisée dans les hospices des enfants trouvés. Ces derniers servirent à la fois de terrain d’expérimentation et de moyen de production : pour conserver et transmettre le virus protecteur, les médecins durent organiser des chaînes vaccinales. Tout au long du XIXe siècle, les enfants trouvés en constituèrent les maillons indispensables."

Der japanische Mediziner & Anthropologe Buntaro Adachi starb heute vor 80 Jahren. Er untersuchte als erster Zusammenhänge von Ohrenschmalzkonsistenz & Achselschweißgeruch – kein Aprilscherz! Was dies mit "Rassenphysiologie" zu tun hat, erklärt:

Unser neues Heft #WerkstattGeschichte 91 "körpermaße" ist erschienen!

Im Thementeil, hg. v. Cornelia Aust, geht es diesmal um das Vermessen & Vergleichen von Körpermerkmalen v.a. im 18./19. Jh. Wie trug dies dazu bei, geschlechtsspezifische & rassistische Differenz herzustellen und so Körpereigenschaften zu essenzialisieren?
