1. The Last Great Plague of Istanbul, 1812: An Overture to Biopolitics in the Ottoman Empire.
PMID:日期:2026-09-22Starting in 1812, a plague epidemic killed a third of the population in Istanbul and a third of the population of Izmir. It lasted at least until 1819 and killed some 500,000 people across the Balkans and the eastern and southern coasts of the Mediterranean, including Malta, Algiers, and Bucharest. Historians have neither examined what this epidemic meant for life in the Empire's capital, nor spelt out what it meant for the Empire's future. In fact, the magnitude of the epidemic has been largely missed in the few descriptive studies that exist, possibly due to the silence of Ottoman state archives on the topic of plague. Plague epidemics had until then been a common occurrence, but the extent of this outbreak made it among the deadliest in the capital's history. It also made Istanbul stand out in contrast to European cities, few of which had experienced major plague epidemics for generations. It furthermore sparked a flurry of Ottoman medical writings, including how to deal with epidemics. These writings, the increased social position of medical doctors in Ottoman politics, and the immediate experience of the epidemic itself are important for understanding how the Ottomans dealt with the cholera epidemic of 1831 and as a context for the introduction of quarantine in 1838. Beyond that, the epidemic came right before one of the most turbulent decades of the Empire, in which it witnessed the Greek revolt (1821) and abolition of Janissaries (1826), culminating in the brutal restoration of political power to the palace and the initiation of modernising structural reforms. The 1812 epidemic holds a key to understanding Ottoman death and reproduction in the nineteenth century.

2. "We have been the real experts since foster care was first created" - The (Mis)uses of Foster Youth Voices in 1990s Child Welfare Policymaking and Legislation.
PMID:日期:2026-08-20In 1993, Foster Care Youth United published its first issue. A magazine written for and by teens in foster care, it reflected many of their key concerns of the moment. Teens wrote poignantly of abuse, separation, sexual exploitation at group homes, and the difficulties of "aging out of the system." The children's pain was palpable; Foster Care Youth United gave them a voice. Charlie Rose interviewed some of these foster youth, giving them a broad audience and national attention. This essay examines a moment in the early 1990s when young people in foster care developed a powerful voice that resonated throughout the country. Yet at the very same time, as Congress debated a law that would affect these teens' lives, their voices were not heard. Instead, numerous witnesses averred that they were speaking on behalf of children. This essay reconstructs the voices of the foster youth themselves as they shared their experiences and thoughts in their new magazine. It asks why these voices were absent from the contemporary debates preceding the passage of the 1997 Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA), and compares the use of their voices in debates around the 1999 Foster Care Independence Act.

3. Diagnosing deviance: psychopathy and the rise of child psychiatry in denmark.
PMID:日期:2026-08-20In the early twentieth century, the diagnosis of psychopathy was among the most frequently employed in child psychiatry. The issue of "psychopathic children" also attracted considerable attention in the Danish press and political sphere, where proposals for the establishment of specialized homes for such children were actively debated. The history of childhood psychopathy exemplifies how a once-popular psychiatric diagnosis can fall into disrepute within a relatively short span of time. Yet little scholarly attention has been paid to this process. This article argues that psychopathy not only played a central role in the development of child psychiatry in Denmark, but also emerged as an important political topic that brought deviant children into the public spotlight. Drawing on psychiatric case records, institutional documents, and other archival sources, the article examines how the diagnosis was applied, interpreted, and debated both in clinical practice and in the public domain. It also situates the Danish case in a broader international context and discusses possible reasons for the abandonment of psychopathy as a diagnostic category in child psychiatry.

4. From autonomy to adaptation: the liberal body in Walter B. Cannon's physiology.
PMID:日期:2026-08-11This article argues that Walter B. Cannon's changing model of the body tracked the transformation of twentieth-century American liberalism from laissez-faire autonomy to managed adaptation. At stake throughout was the problem of reconciling the autonomy of parts with the integrity of the whole. His early studies of digestion-an invisible hand within-aligned with faith in spontaneous self-regulation. Progressive-era work on fear and rage reframed disruption as purposeful mobilization, while World War I exposed its limits in shock and collapse. In response, Cannon articulated homeostasis as a grammar of resilience-feedback, buffers, and margins of safety-that recast purpose as regulation rather than destiny. Read together, these shifts show science and politics moving in tandem: autonomy preserved through rule-bound coordination in complex systems. This article thus revises the two-track portrait of Cannon (scientist here, citizen there) and situates his "social homeostasis" within interwar democratic reform and New Deal liberalism, where institutional redundancy and welfare safeguards stabilized freedom under strain. Recovering this liberal physiology clarifies how Cannon offered a democratic counterpoint to authoritarian decisionism and neoliberal discipline, and why his idiom of care, redundancy, and repair remains salient for crises of the twenty-first century.

5. Lighting, Cooking, Heating, and Asphyxiation! The Changing Uses and Risks of Manufactured Gas in American Homes, 1870-1940.
PMID:日期:2026-07-16The introduction of water gas for house lighting in the United States posed a significant risk to public health in the years between 1875 and World War II. Water gas was superior to the older coal gas used as an illuminant but a far more lethal source of asphyxiation. Its introduction generated a battle between gas companies and public health experts who wished to prohibit use of the new gas. The companies prevailed; Massachusetts and later national data reveal that the victory of water gas led to death rates from asphyxiation that exceeded those from communicable diseases such as measles and scarlet fever. Yet by the 1920s economics incentives were reducing the role of water gas. and, as gas use evolved from illumination to heating and cooking, the market focused gas companies on the danger that asphyxiations from faulty appliances might frighten away new businesses, a concern that was reinforced by public health experts and state and local regulation. In response, the American Gas Association developed appliance safety standards and a standard gas code that is the basis for all modern gas regulations.

6. Developmental disorder, racial dissolution: racial typologies of developmental normalcy in early child medicine, 1830s-1860s.
PMID:日期:2026-06-16Decades before medical definitions of developmental normalcy revolved around statistical averages, nineteenth-century medical scientists identified a non-statistical "normal" that cohered within racial groups but was not generalizable across them. Using early child medicine treatises and anatomical, physiological, and ethnological texts, this article argues that nineteenth-century child development science was a race-making enterprise. The first sections analyze texts on child development and disease, identifying the racial parameters of developmental norms and the developmental events most frequently associated with racial differentiation: cranial suture closure and puberty. The following sections argue that variable rates of development and the degree of synchronicity between mental and physical development produced racial hierarchies and threatened racial degeneration. By examining "ethnic" classifications of idiocy, in which developmental timing considered typical for Black children was pathologized in White children, this article argues that developmental disorder posed a threat to racial order. As Darwinian evolutionism introduced scientific and social concerns about the historical contingency of racial progress, the clinical management of child development acquired newfound importance as a safeguard for White racial purity. Joining histories of nineteenth-century child development science and antebellum medical cultures with disability history, this article offers a pre-history of "developmental disability" as a racial category.

7. The Appearance of "Bastard" Children and the Power of the Maternal Imagination in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period.
PMID:日期:2026-06-09The belief in the power of the imagination of parents, and especially of the mother, to influence the features of the foetus has been widespread since ancient times. The first reference is in Genesis 30:25-43. It tells the story of how Jacob showed his father-in-law's ewes and goats coloured branches (stripped branches) during the mating season in order to produce spotted offspring. The theory refers not only to animals, but also to human beings, as various sources testify. The power of female imagination could extend from the moment of coitus through to the entire pregnancy, giving rise to congenital features in the foetus. Starting from the widespread idea of the female imagination as a disruptive factor in the entire process of the formation of the future individual, the aim of this article is to focus on one specific aspect of the question: namely, the origin and development of the belief that 'bastard' children resemble their putative fathers rather than their real fathers. To this end, the most significant medical and philosophical sources will be considered, from the origin of this belief, in the late Middle Ages through to the early modern period.

8. A necessary compromise: mainstreaming traditional birth attendants (Iya Abiye) into colonial maternal healthcare in Ibadan, c.1930 - c.1960.
PMID:日期:2026-05-13The colonial project was both parasitic and extractive. Its resource extraction imperative depended on maintaining a reservoir of cheap labour, whose supply required that they encourage and sustain high birth rates in the colonies. Maternal healthcare was therefore key to this project. The period 1930 to 1960, which we examine, was also characterized by increased African political agitation and internationally, by deepening global liberalism. Advocates of the latter called for colonial reforms, including some political participation of the growing African middle class. This, plus political changes in Britain at the time, put British colonial officials in Africa under pressure to bring about some reforms, including healthcare services. In Nigeria's Ibadan, the colonial regime initiated a training scheme for Africans to become midwives. They also recognized and mainstreamed in their medical service the institution of traditional birth attendants (known locally as Iya Abiye). We view this effort as a convenient response of the colonial officials to the shortage of medical personnel in Nigerian rural areas. These changes also reveal the rudimentary nature of health service delivery further away from urban areas. The introduction of Iya Abiye signals a shift in colonial health policy to an accommodative one due to the continued popularity of Iya Abiye in Yorubaland. By co-opting Iya Abiye into the mainstream maternal health system, colonial Nigeria officially became a medical pluralist society characterised by implementation challenges amidst some successes.

9. "A microcosm of every other issue": How Social Workers Recognized and Responded to the Needs of HIV-affected Families with Children in Britain, 1981-1997.
PMID:日期:2026-05-05This article tracks the emergence of specific social work policies and practices designed to meet the needs of HIV-affected families with children. The article outlines the tense atmosphere into which HIV-related family social work emerged. It then describes how HIV-affected children and their families were first recognized as a specific client group with a unique constellation of needs, outlining the scramble to assess the statutory services' obligation to this emerging group, and the work to create new information, policies, and texts to meet these responsibilities. These texts envisioned the social workers' roles as that of carer, mediator, collaborator, information provider, and advocate, offering guidance on the medical and social dimensions of HIV and AIDS, alongside warnings about the emotional toll this work took on workers and the pitfalls of prejudice. The final section of the article examines how social workers met the needs of HIV-affected families with children on the ground, looking at how the needs of parents and children in Edinburgh were met through collaborative work between statutory and voluntary workers, alongside those living with HIV.

10. Chinese-Iranian Medical Exchanges During the Yuan Dynasty: A Historical Perspective.
PMID:日期:2026-04-24The Yuan dynasty marked the period of medieval China's most frequent foreign exchanges. After the establishment of the four great khanates of the Mongol Empire, the Yuan dynasty maintained close relations with the Ilkhanate, which became known as the Land of Iran. These interactions facilitated extensive medical exchanges between the two khanates. During this process, the Silk Road became a bridge for exchanging medicinal knowledge and practices between the Great Yuan and Iran. The exchange of medicines and medical prescriptions between the two was continuous, with both regions' medical practitioners adopting and applying each other's knowledge, thus bringing about a certain degree of transformative influence on their respective traditional medical systems. Based on medical and historical literature from medieval Iran and China, this study conducts a meticulous textual examination of relevant sources. This research aims to reveal an aspect of the medical exchanges between these medieval territories.
