Hysteri i Sverige : Sjukdomen, dess orsak och botemedel genom tre svenska läkares verk under åren 1875–1930

Sjölund, Emilie January 2011 (has links)
Den här uppsatsen undersöker hysteri genom verk skrivna utav tre svenska läkare vid namn Seved Ribbing, Olof Hallin och Viktor Wigert under perioden 1875-1930. Frågor som står till grund för undersökningen är hur dessa läkare beskriver hysteri, dess orsak, sjukdomens botemedel, hur kvinnosyn kommer fram genom sjukdomen samt hur läkarna skiljer sig gentemot varandra. En stor inspirationskälla för undersökningen har varit Karin Johannissons Den mörka kontinenten: kvinnan, medicinen och fin-de-siécle (1995) då den tar upp kvinnosynen under 1800-talet och fram till mitten utav 1900. Boken behandlar också kvinnans sociala ställning, de så kallade kvinnosjukdomarna (exempelvis hysteri, galenskap, anorexi) och de ideal som existerade under denna period. Den mörka kontinenten kommer också att fungera som forskningsläge, vilket jag har valt att utgå ifrån i undersökningen.

"En ventilartad slemhinneduplikatur af vexlande form" : Beskrivningar av mödomshinnan i sexhandböcker 1889-1904 / "A vented mucous membrane duplication of varying shape" : Descriptions of the hymen in sex manuals 1889-1904

Lindvall, Sofia January 2016 (has links)
This thesis discusses how the hymen is described historically in Swedish sex manuals between 1889-1904, along with descriptions of defloration and chastity. The analysis is based on the assumption that science and gender are social and cultural constructions.  The purpose of this thesis is to examine late nineteenth-early twentieth century’s conceptions of women, sexuality and chastity by discussing this period's descriptions of the hymen in a historical context. This study is concluded by reading and contextualizing sex manuals published in Sweden around the turn of the century. The conclusion of this thesis is that the hymen is not necessarily viewed as a membrane, although every sex manual writer believe that there is some sort of fold, referred to as the hymen, in virgin females' genitals. However, the hymen is not seen as evidence of women's chastity by the authors because of the assumed occurrence of irregularities in this "fold". Under "normal" circumstances, the hymen is believed to break during a woman's first intercourse which is described as painful (and bloody) by the authors of the sex manuals.
