Epidemics in Context: Cholera and Plague in North Africa (1798–1919)
Nr 58
Plague, cholera, and fevers have historically disrupted the commercial and geopolitical fabrics of port cities. In her project, Postdoctoral Fellow Edna Bonhomme examines how Alexandria, Tripoli, and Tunis managed infectious diseases between 1798 and 1919. Her research shows how sickness has long formed part of a process of globalizing medical surveillance, biomedicine, and public health policies—and how these in turn have affected the severity and span of disease.

Epidemien im Kontext: Cholera und Pest in Nordafrika (1798–1919)
Nr 58
Pest, Cholera und infektiöse Fiebererkrankungen haben – historisch gesehen – die kommerziellen und geopolitischen Strukturen von Hafenstädten aufgebrochen. Die Postdoktorandin Edna Bonhomme untersucht in ihrem Projekt, wie Alexandria, Tripolis und Tunis zwischen 1798 und 1919 mit solchen Infektionskrankheiten umgingen. Ihre Arbeit zeigt, inwiefern Krankheit schon lange Teil eines Prozesses globalisierter medizinischer Überwachung, Biomedizin und Gesundheitspolitik ist – und wie sich diese umgekehrt auf die Schwere und das Ausmaß von Krankheiten auswirkten.
