Wir laden herzlich ein zu Amir Teichers Vortrag "150 Years of Disease Carriers":
From the beginning of the twentieth century, the concept of the (externally) healthy, asymptomatic carrier became central to medical thinking. My upcoming book aims to provide an account of how this concept evolved and acquired different meanings at different times and in various cultural settings, by both analyzing the scientific development of the concept as well as by bringing to light its cultural manifestations and social implications in people’s daily lives. In the presentation I will present one or two chapters from this book-in-progress.
Der Vortrag findet im Rahmen des Oberseminars "Perspektiven der Wissenschaftsgeschichte" statt.
