Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aimed to study historical changes in viewing bodies, diseases and death in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Britain, with a particular focus on the development of clinical thermometry, by accessing archival sources relate to tool makers and manufacturers of medical devices. As a result of this study, behind the development of clinical thermometry were such various factors as technical development, increasingly sophisticated marketing methods, a pandemic of 1918-19 influenza and its fear, and a gender role of home nursing attributed exclusively to women, which, this study concludes, constituted modern ways of viewing bodies, diseases and death in Britain. With this conclusion, the project leader presented a paper in an international conference of Society for the Social History of Medicine at University of Kent on 8 July, 2016, and has also submitted it to an international journal, East Asian Journal of Science and Technology.
