Pollution, Purification, and the Scapegoat: Religion and Violence in the Trial of SocratesBrewer, Philip 01 August 2014 (has links)
Despite its wide and unfortunate neglect (if it is even noticed at all), the fact that the date of Socrates' trial coincided with Athens's annual sacrificial festival (Thargelia) is of paramount significance for an interpretation not only of Plato's Apology but also of the historical trial itself. The argument presented here is that Socrates' prosecution and execution was, quite so, an expression of a sacrificial logic, which holds, mistakenly, that a single individual can be held responsible for a social crisis. The sacrificial narrative, then--a narrative implicitly put into play by that ominous trial date--would have located Socrates as the single source of the concomitant Athenian crises at play in the devastating aftermath of the Peloponnesian war. In fact, Plato's Apology can be, and perhaps must be, read as an elaboration on this sacrificial narrative. Yet, Plato turns the narrative on its head; by casting Socrates not only as the archetypal, "polluted" pharmakos but also as the willing scapegoat, Plato has Socrates enact a deadly confrontation between Socratic and Athenian values. Socrates' trial, this thesis argues, was not simply about crime and punishment; this was a trial about communal crisis and communal redemption. We must consider, then, not simply the trial of Socrates, but the sacrifice of Socrates

Vliv homeopatického léčení na zdraví člověka / Homeopathic cure impact on human healthPECHOVÁ, Nikola January 2018 (has links)
The focus of this Diploma Thesis is to discover the awareness of homeopathy. Previous experience of responders with this type of treatment. If they don't mistake homeopathy for other type of alternative medicine and whether their experience has been positive, neutral or even negative. Another important goal is to examine the consequences of homeopathic treatment from the particular homeopath or a qualified expert. The difference between the treatment and diagnosis of the certain homeopaths. And also, the course of the visit. Primarily, the effect of homeopathic preparations on the health of the individual. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research was chosen to process these goals. The quantitative research is evaluated using an anonymous poll in electronic form. The qualitative research is processed using a semi-structured interview. The goal of the theoretical part is a mere view of the issue. It contains chapters that outline the basics of homeopathy, its use, homeopathic preparations, their production and the limits of homeopathic treatment. The Diploma Thesis contains an objective view of homeopathic treatment and assessment of its influence on the health of the individual.

Previous issue date: 2011-07-27 / The development of epidemiological practices in the last years of the nineteenth and
early twentieth century was characterized by both an influence of medical geography
and the emergence of microbes and vectors of diseases. Both theories were used to
explain outbreaks in Rio Grande do Norte specially in Natal. In this process were
organized new institutions linked to public health, unhealthy spaces and prescribed
hygiene measures. The redefinitions of the spaces were linked to updated elements of
Hippocratic medicine such as aerism and emphasis on medical topography. How the
physicians of the town were organized in the face of new meanings and fields of
expertise in the demarcation of diseases and regulation of their own practices against the
illegal medical practitioners? Likewise, the very occurrence of epidemics mobilized
people, urban institutions and apparatuses. But how the Hippocratic legacy that leads to
the idea of bad air originated by swamps from the eighteenth and nineteenth century has
been linked to new microbial assumptions and disease vectors in the early twentieth
century? How an invader from Africa, (the mosquito A. gambiae) mobilized
transnational efforts to combat malaria and redefined the epidemiological practices? The
aim of this work is to understand how epidemiological practices redefine the way we
define spaces, practices and disease from both an approach influenced by a relational
history of spaces and a theoretical synergy which includes topics in Science Studies,
Post Structuralist Geography and some elements of Feminist Studies. Documentary
research were surveyed in the reports of the provincial presidents, government posts to
the Provincial Assembly, specialized medical articles and theses, and documents from
the Rockefeller Foundation and national and international journals. In this regard shall
be given to both material and discursive aspects of space-related practical
epidemiological that Natal as much (in general) Rio Grande do Norte between bad air
and malaria. / O desenvolvimento de pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas nos ?ltimos anos do s?culo XIX e
in?cio do s?culo XX foi caracterizado tanto pela influ?ncia da geografia m?dica quanto
pela emerg?ncia dos micr?bios e vetores de doen?as como modelos explicativos. Esses
elementos come?aram a se destacar nas quest?es relacionadas ?s epidemias no Rio
Grande do Norte com uma maior visibilidade em Natal. Nesse processo foram
organizadas novas institui??es ligadas ? sa?de p?blica, houve a demarca??o de espa?os
insalubres e foram prescritas medidas de higiene e profilaxia a partir da Inspetoria de
Hygiene. A redefini??o dos espa?os devido ? circula??o e prolifera??o de novos
pressupostos tamb?m foi articulada a elementos da medicina hipocr?tica atualizados,
com ?nfase no aerismo e na topografia m?dica. De que maneira o pr?prio corpo m?dico
da cidade se organizou frente aos novos sentidos e especializa??es nas demarca??es das
doen?as e na pr?pria regulamenta??o de suas pr?ticas frente aos charlat?es e praticantes
de medicina ilegal? Da mesma maneira, a pr?pria ocorr?ncia de epidemias mobilizou
pessoas, inaugura??o de institui??es e de aparatos urbanos. Mas de que maneira o
legado hipocr?tico que remete ? id?ia de maus ares pantanosos que resultavam das
inquieta??es sanitaristas do s?culo XVIII e XIX se articulou aos novos pressupostos
microbianos e relativos aos vetores no in?cio do s?culo XX? Como um mosquito
invasor , o A. gambiae, vindo da ?frica para Natal, mobilizou esfor?os transnacionais
no combate ? mal?ria e com isso ajudou a redefinir as pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas?
Pretende-se compreender como as pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas redefinem a maneira de se
delimitar espa?os, pr?ticas e doen?as a partir de uma abordagem tanto influenciada por
uma perspectiva relacional do espa?o na hist?ria quanto a partir de uma sinergia te?rica
que inclui os Estudos da Ci?ncia, Geografia P?s-estruturalista e elementos dos Estudos
Feministas. Na pesquisa documental foram pesquisados os Relat?rios dos presidentes de
prov?ncia, Mensagens de Governo ? Assembl?ia Provincial, artigos e teses m?dicas
especializadas, al?m de documentos da Funda??o Rockefeller e peri?dicos nacionais e
internacionais. Nesse sentido ser? privilegiado o aspecto tanto material quanto
discursivo dos espa?os ligados ?s pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas que atravessam tanto Natal
quanto (de maneira geral) o Rio Grande do Norte entre os maus ares e a mal?ria no
per?odo proposto.

Illuminating a Tragic Miasma in Shepard’s A Particle of DreadThomas, Benjamin 07 January 2021 (has links)
Sam Shepard was a playwright who used a variety of stories and styles to explore and understand the country he called home, The United States of America. This thesis launches the process of understanding how Greek tragedy had influenced the work of Shepard in his explorations by looking at Shepard’s final play before his passing, A Particle of Dread (Oedipus Variations). Using the concept of miasma that has been established as important to Greek tragedy to analyze A Particle of Dread and its primary source work, Oedipus Rex, this thesis reveals the extent of the ancient tragic form’s presence in Shepard’s last play. To do so, I approach the work in a combination of theory and practice. I first use dramaturgical analysis of Oedipus Rex, to explain what tragic role miasma has in Sophocles’ play. This is followed by a mirrored dramaturgical analysis of A Particle of Dread to uncover and compare what place miasma (and therefore tragedy) has in Shepard’s play. Following this is the review and analysis of five performance workshops exploring scenes of Shepard’s play which used a combination of performance and lighting to physicalize that dramaturgical work so as to further it and hopefully reveal new aspects through their embodiment. This dramaturgical and practical work results in the discovery of how and to what end Shepard has chosen to use the Grecian content style to analyze and commentate on Western society. The work also offers the chance to compare how the engagement with pollution has changed from the characters of 5th Century BCE Greece to 2014 America, and what that might mean for 2020 onwards.

Olfactory Approaches to Historical Study: The Smells of Chicago's Stockyard Jungle, 1900-1910McNulty, Christine January 2009 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / As historians have expanded their interests from focusing on great men and groundbreaking events to perspectives that explore everyday experiences or ordinary people, odor emerges as an important interpretative lens. Understanding the olfactory history of communities, especially what types of odors were present and how people perceived and reacted to them, enlarges historians’ understanding of the life experiences and behaviors of people in the past. The historical study of odor provides insights into how quality of life and standards of living have changed over time. Understanding how people of different times reacted to odors suggests how they perceived the sensory world around them, including people living close by. In this thesis, I examine the olfactory conditions of the neighborhood surrounding the Union Stockyards and associated meat processing facilities on Chicago’s south side in the first decade of the twentieth century. During this period, an overpowering combination of putrid odors characterized this neighborhood, known as Back of the Yards. Various factors contributed to this malodorous “smellscape,” and it impacted the quality of life of the predominantly immigrant communities that made up the workforce and residents of that neighborhood.
