Animals and the Shaping of Modern Medicine Introduction: Centring Animals Within Medical History

Animals and the Shaping of Modern Medicine: Introduction: Centring Animals Within Medical History [This chapter lays down the volume’s aims and objectives: to make a programmatic contribution to the field of medical history by elucidating some of the largely unrecognised ways in which animals informed the knowledges, practices and social formations of medicine; to enhance the burgeoning field of animal history by offering the first substantive account of animals within medicine that goes beyond the much-studied context of the laboratory; and to provide a history of, and critical reflections on the present-day agenda known as One Health. It introduces the field of animal history for the benefit of medical historians who may not be familiar with this scholarship, and draws from it to explain the volume’s core concepts, approaches and cross-cutting themes.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter lays down the volume’s aims and objectives: to make a programmatic contribution to the field of medical history by elucidating some of the largely unrecognised ways in which animals informed the knowledges, practices and social formations of medicine; to enhance the burgeoning field of animal history by offering the first substantive account of animals within medicine that goes beyond the much-studied context of the laboratory; and to provide a history of, and critical reflections on the present-day agenda known as One Health. It introduces the field of animal history for the benefit of medical historians who may not be familiar with this scholarship, and draws from it to explain the volume’s core concepts, approaches and cross-cutting themes.]
