主讲人简介
Jennifer L. Derr is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz where she is also the Founding Director of the Center for the Middle East and North Africa. Professor Derr’sresearch explores the intersections among medicine, science, the environment,and political economy in the modern Middle East. Her book,The Lived Nile:Environment, Disease, and Material Colonial Economy in Egypt (StanfordUP, 2019), chronicles the transformation of the Nile in the nineteenth andtwentieth centuries to support colonial economy in Egypt, and the significanceof the river’s new material environment in producing knowledge forms,configurations of capital, practices of authority, and embodied subjectivities.Professor Derr’s second manuscript traces the production of the liver – the organ– as a site of knowledge, disease, and treatment in 20th-century Egypt and thesignificance of this history within that of biomedicine and public health inthe Global South during the second half of the twentieth century. Her researchhas been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the HellmanFoundation, the University of California Humanities Research Institute, theFulbright-Hays Commission, the Social Science Research Council, the AmericanResearch Center in Egypt, the Mellon Foundation, and the Institute forHistorical Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2019, she wasawarded the National Science Foundation’s 5-year CAREER grant to support abroad research agenda focused on the “History of Science at the Interface of Biomedicaland Environmental Concerns.”
珍妮弗·德尔是加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的副教授,也是该校中东和北非研究中心的创建者和主任。她的研究关注现代中东的医学、科学、环境和政治经济的交汇。她的专著《尼罗河的生命:埃及的环境、疾病和物质性的殖民经济》2019年在斯坦佛大学出版社出版。此书叙述了19到20世纪尼罗河的变化,它对埃及殖民经济的支持,以及它的新的物质环境在创造知识形态、资本配置、权威实践和主体性“具体”时的重要性。她的第二本书稿探索了在20世纪埃及,肝脏作为知识、疾病和治疗的所在的演生,以及这段历史在20世纪后半期第三世界国家生物医学和公共卫生中的意义。她的研究受到美国国家人文基金、赫尔曼基金会、加州大学人文研究所、福布莱特—海斯委员会、社会科学研究理事会、埃及美国研究中心、梅伦基金会和奥斯丁的德克萨斯大学历史研究所的支持。2019年她获得了美国国家科学基金的五年资助,以支持集中于“生物医学和环境问题交叉的科学史”的相关研究议题。
讲座简介
In 1952, a new regime came to power in Egypt. Headed by the charismatic Gamal AbdelNasser, the regime was virulently anti-colonial in its rhetoric and itsendeavors to break away from a past in which Britain had dominated Egyptianpolitics. And yet, the legacies of the past continued to linger, among them theepidemic of the parasitic disease schistosomiasis that had raged in the countrysince the turn of the nineteenth century. During the 1950s and 1960s,schistosomiasis was Egypt’s primary challenge in the field of public health.Thinking with the history of schistosomiasis in Egypt – and that of COVID-19 –this talk will explore the Egyptian body that was the object of global publichealth initiatives and Egyptian biomedicine in the second half of the twentiethcentury. It will consider the effects of a longstanding epidemic of disease onthe development of Egyptian biomedicine and scientific research and theevolving environmental imaginaries that undergirded both ventures. Finally,this talk will explore the relationship between the articulated revolutionarypolitics of Nasser’s regime and its approach to epidemic disease and how wemight read that relationship in the practice of Egyptian medicine and publichealth today.
1952年埃及建立起了新的政权。在纳赛尔的领导下,这个政权以激烈的反殖民表述和实际努力与之前英国统治埃及的历史划清界限。但是过去所遗留下来的却挥之不去,在其中就有自19世纪之交以来在该国肆虐的寄生虫病:血吸虫病。在20世纪50、60年代,血吸虫病是埃及公共卫生领域的主要挑战。思考埃及的血吸虫病的历史和新冠肺炎,本演讲将会探讨,在20世纪后半期,作为全球公共卫生倡议的对象的埃及人的身体和埃及的生物医学。它会思考一种长期存在的疾疫对埃及生物医学和科学研究的影响,以及支持两者的不断演进的环境想象。最后,本演讲将探讨纳赛尔政权的革命政策和应对流行病的方法之间的关系,以及我们可以如何在当下埃及的医学和公共卫生实践中解读这种关系。
