HIST 25505: Environment and the Body
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
From the time of the Hippocratic medical text Airs, Waters, and Places, the natural and built environments were understood to shape the states and characteristics of human bodies. This connection is evident through many centuries of medical theory and practice, as well as in arguments advanced for the climatic and geographical determination of racial traits. The relationship between the body and the environment became a matter of particularly intense political struggle in nineteenth-century England and has become so again in our own time. This course examines the history of conceptions of the environmental shaping of human bodies with particular attention to nineteenth- and twentieth-century conflicts over sanitation, disease theories, and poverty, as well as to contemporary debates over toxic contamination and health. A. Gugliotta. Winter.
