Exhibiting Health: Public Health Displays in the Progressive Era de Professor Jennifer Lisa Koslow

Exhibiting Health: Public Health Displays in the Progressive Era: Critical Issues in Health and Medicine

Autor Professor Jennifer Lisa Koslow
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2020 – vârsta ani
In the early twentieth century, public health reformers approached the task of ameliorating unsanitary conditions and preventing epidemic diseases with optimism. Using exhibits, they believed they could make systemic issues visual to masses of people. Embedded within these visual displays were messages about individual action. In some cases, this meant changing hygienic practices. In other situations, this meant taking up action to inform public policy. Reformers and officials hoped that exhibits would energize America's populace to invest in protecting the public's health. Exhibiting Health is an analysis of the logic of the production and the consumption of this technique for popular public health education between 1900 and 1930. It examines the power and limits of using visual displays to support public health initiatives.

Recenzii

"Today, at a time when the visual seems to dominate in education and entertainment, Koslow demonstrates that the visual has a long, powerful history in the realm of public health. Koslow skillfully draws the reader into a very compelling story, indeed a page-turner, while weaving in significant analysis."

"Jennifer Koslow draws attention to the overlooked history of public health exhibitions, demonstrating the fascinating role of railways, models, dioramas, and performances in delivering health advice to hundreds of thousands of Americans. As Exhibiting Health shows, in the first half of the twentieth century, even without proof of their impact on the health of individuals, such activities played a key role in promoting the value of public health programs and expertise."


"The strength of Koslow’s book remains on the close focus on individual exhibitions in the ways they were reviewed, physically constructed, dispersed and received. Her careful research using primary resources in state libraries, archives and institutional collections enables a much richer and detailed narrative of these specific exhibition events in fleshing out important details missing in more generalised accounts. It is a book well worth the attention of historians, social scientists and the health community."

"Introduces readers to a short-lived but vibrant aspect of progressive reform: the public health exhibit [and] reveals that reformers truly believed in the power of the public health exhibit: the passion with which they constructed exhibitions, the personal and philanthropic investments they made, and their ongoing 'faith in the value of the visual' all bear witness to their general conviction that such displays improved American lives." 

"Jennifer Lisa Koslow’s Exhibiting Health presents a detailed examination of the early twentieth-century American stream of social reform that believed so strongly in the benefits of exhibitions for public-health education and social betterment that state public-health departments bought rail cars for mobile displays; public charities hired artists to sculpt foot-long mosquitos; and hundreds of thousands of Americans visited exhibits in their town about parasites, child welfare and urban planning. Throughout the book, Koslow explores the actual efficacy of exhibitions in hitting reformers’ lofty public-health targets."
