▼ This dissertation argues that medical humanities education for students considering careers in healthcare should begin at the general undergraduate level and should have two primary objectives, (1) providing tools that will help students foster therapeutic, compassionate relationships with their patients, and (2) providing strategies that will help students maintain healthy habits of mind that afford resilience against compassion fatigue. I assert that in order for students to practice compassion for themselves and others three core objectives must be met. (1) Students must be exposed to the fundamentals of bioethics in order to understand the virtue of compassion itself, (2) they must develop expertise in the tenets of narrative medicine in order to fully comprehend the causes of suffering in their patients, and (3) they must be introduced to the practice of mindfulness as a means of self-care. The following chapters suggest that literature and the visual arts offer the most effective means of teaching these concepts and present a pedagogy that incorporates traditional academic theory as well as practical application of knowledge. Chapter one introduces the tenets of narrative medicine through the study of Frida Kahlo’s 1932 painting, Henry Ford Hospital. Chapter two explores the concept of empathy, a prerequisite to compassion, using short stories by Eudora Welty and Richard Selzer. Chapter three uses ancient and modern dramatic literature to introduce the fundamentals of bioethics. Chapter four introduces the concepts of mindfulness and creative “flow” and suggests that engagement with and creation of fully abstract visual art helps students experience and practice the healthy states of mind that provide resilience against compassion fatigue. Chapter five presents a case study that attests to the importance of the medical humanities pedagogy described in this dissertation.

▼ This thesis seeks to address two distinct sets of criticisms that have been offered at medical practice. The first criticism suggests that medicine today is too exclusive in its application of the term 'disease.' As a consequence, important biological phenomena are marginalized by physicians and scientists. The second criticism suggests that medicine has been too inclusive in its understanding of disease. As a result, many biological phenomena that were once considered 'natural' or 'normal' aspects of human life are now given a medical dimension that they previously did not have. The goal of this thesis is to understand why two seemingly contradictory criticisms have been applied to the same practice. To answer this question, I invoke Edmund Husserl's important analysis of modern science to argue that medicine suffers from a problem of 'naive objectivism.' This problem is present under the dominant paradigm of medical diagnosis, the biomedical model. Having identified the source of these two criticisms, my goal is to then develop new models of medical practice that can address these criticisms. First, I turn to John Dewey's philosophical naturalism to develop a medical model that can address the problem of exclusion in biomedicine. Then, I turn to Martin Heidegger?s existential analytic to develop a medical model that can address the problem of inclusion in biomedicine. I supplement both of these analyses with research generated in the medical humanities fields, attempting to show how the biomedical model of medicine fails to meet the goals of medical care. The end result of such analysis is the development of two new medical models that can serve to replace the biomedical model. I offer no attempt to adjudicate between these two models, instead leaving such issues to be handled by the patient and the physician throughout the course of his or her treatment.

▼ This dissertation uses a phenomenological and sociological lens to explore how non-fiction illness narratives help us understand how perception of the self is disrupted because of serious illness or injury. Specifically, I use the French philosopher, M. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological thought concerning the body and the sociological perspective of medical sociologist, Arthur Frank and his types of narratives and how culture helps construct illness. I analyze the works of four different writers: Sarah Manguso, Oliver Sacks, Jean Dominique-Bauby, and Anatole Broyard. Chapter one serves as an introduction to the subject of illness writing and an overview of some of the material published during the past several decades. I discuss some of the functions of illness writing and summarize Frank's narrative types as well as explain some of the theories of Merleau-Ponty which are relevant to this study. In chapter two I analyze Sarah Manguso's The Two Kinds of Decay approaching her narrative as a poetic type of prose in which she addresses her illness from the perspective of someone who came through a particularly harrowing illness experience and emerged to cautiously recount the experience several years later. The third chapter's focus is Jean Dominique-Bauby's The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I discuss Bauby's sense of disassociation caused by locked-in syndrome as a result of his need to escape what he metaphorically names the diving bell. Bauby, like Anatole Broyard who is discussed in the last chapter, does not survive the illness. Chapter four's focus is Oliver Sacks and his book, A Leg To Stand On. Like Manguso, Sacks tells the story looking back from the present into the past. He moves beyond his injury, but the self-objectification that occurs in his narrative is a testament to the nature of disembodiment as an almost necessary phenomenon for living through severe physical trauma. Chapter five is a discussion of Anatole Broyard and his book, Intoxicated By My Illness. Broyard's book is a compilation of his writings - mainly journals created during the time from his diagnosis and his subsequent journey through prostate cancer, which eventually took his life. In the conclusion I speculate about the effect of these narratives on the reader and briefly explore several other texts written by professional writers who were ill.

▼ This thesis investigates the representation of the doctor-patient relationship and encounter in the nineteenth-century French novel. It incorporates and compares a number of authors, most notably Honoré de Balzac, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, George Sand, Stendhal, and Émile Zola, as well as contemporary medical treatises and theses. Using a historicist approach to inform literary close readings, this thesis recreates the medical and scientific discourse which surrounded the nineteenth-century novel. It argues that the doctor-patient relationship and encounter can be understood as a way that the nineteenth-century French novel gains traction on contemporary medicine, since both foreground the extent to which medicine was understood as an art and practice as well as a science. The thesis argues that the difference between doctor-patient relationship and encounter was particularly useful for authors of the period. The doctor-patient relationship represents an ideal form of medicine; whereas the bedside medical encounter, as depicted in literature, offers readers a more dissonant conception of medicine. I argue that the doctor-patient relationship and encounter narrativize medicine in the nineteenth-century novel, allowing authors to present and interpret medicine as embedded within narrative. The doctor-patient relationship and encounter are particularly useful for the development of plot and characterization, despite or indeed because of the medical plot's peripherality to the novel. This thesis is not restricted to any singular field of medicine; it encompasses themes such as the figure of the country doctor, the history of gynaecology, tuberculosis, cholera, hysteria, and the medical authorisation of miracles. The thesis concludes with a discussion of monetized medical relationships. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that the doctor-patient relationship and encounter, and in particular the cleavage between them, is key to understanding the representation of contemporary medicine and science by the nineteenth-century French novel.

▼ The present thesis examines ideological and discursive constructions of physiological, neurological and psychological diseases in women writers' fiction in Turkish in relation to the nation-building project of Turkey in the twentieth century. While the Turkish nationbuilding project deployed biopolitics to regulate population, this research has focused on bodies of exception and their potential to undermine the normative discourse on healthy bodies of 'ideal citizens'. Taking my cue from Giorgio Agamben's theorization of the figure of homo sacer and the state of exception, I have explored whether sick bodies of women are situated in the state of exception. For this research, I have selected texts across the twentieth century - from the Balkan Wars in 1912 as a significant cornerstone that signalled the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the end of the Cold War during which the relationship between citizens' bodies and the state has drastically changed due to three coup detats and violence among civil groups of left and right. Since gender occupied a central role in the heteronormative definitions of what an ideal citizens' body should look like and what was expected of it, I have specifically focused on women writers and their fiction on female characters' illnesses in a number of genres. The analysis provided focuses on Halide Edib's national romances Handan, Atesten Gomlek (The Shirt of Fire), Mevut Hukum (The Promised Verdict) and Tatarcik; Kerime Nadir's melodramas Hickirik (Sobbing) and Posta Guvercini (Carrier Pigeon/Dove); modernist works of the Cold War period Tezer Ozlu's Cocuklugun Soguk Geceleri (Cold Nights of Childhood) and Sevim Burak's Afrika Dansi (African Dance), and post-Cold War short stories by Asli Erdogan, Yitik Gozun Boslugunda (In the Void of a Lost Eye) and Tahta Kuslar (Wooden Birds). In order to present a detailed portrait of the central place of health in the nation-building project of Turkey, my first chapter presents a historical analysis of the official state discourse through speeches and publications by the members of the parliament and prominent health officials of the first half of the century. Here, I argue that the Turkish nation-building project set out to define every individual body as an asset to the well-being of the nation, thereby gave every citizen a biological responsibility with remarks like 'You need to protect your health in order to be a good citizen'. My second chapter focuses on Halide Edib Adivar's national romances, approaching her oeuvre as a bridge that reflects the change in the normative definitions of ideal woman. It is my argument that the change in Adivar's use of illness in her novels is representative of the approach towards illness in the modern Turkish republic with her later works replacing the sickly heroines with healthy ones. Similarly, in my third chapter I focus on Kerime Nadir's melodramas and approach her novels as texts where the wounded masculinity caused by the lost Ottoman Empire is healed and saved by the sacrifice of the heroines. As the…

▼ This dissertation examines cultural and literary responses to dementia in narratives dealing with the personal and historical memory of trauma and violence. Rather than use dementia to signify a crisis of forgetting or the erasure of history, the authors in this study deploy dementia as a formal and ethical resource; they offer revisionary narratives that recuperate negative discourses surrounding aging and cognitive impairment, as well as enable readers’ reflections on issues across geopolitical borders, historical contexts, and different marginalized life experiences. Bringing a disability studies analytic to the examination of the politics and narrative aesthetics of dementia, "Entangled Stories" argues for a nuanced understanding of how dementia operates formally and thematically in contemporary writing as a site in which the intimate and global collide. Each chapter centers on authors’ concomitant personal encounters with dementia and their explorations of the historical memory of major 20th- and 21st-century catastrophes. As such, I probe into the corresponding tropes and metaphors of dementia appearing strategically alongside the representation of those events. Chapter 1 interrogates the discourse of environmental disaster and memory loss in Ruth Ozeki’s narration of the aftermath of Fukushima. Chapter 2 examines the contemporaneous rhetorics of the “War on Alzheimer’s” and the War on Terror in Susan M. Schultz’s experimental writing. Chapter 3 focuses on two authors’ graphic renditions of dementia and traumatic history: Dana Walrath challenges dementia as a popular metaphor for political amnesia and denial in the context of the Armenian Genocide, while Stuart Campbell visualizes the interrelations of dementia and the social traumas of World War II. Chapter 4 turns to the popular fictions of Emma Healey and Jo Walton, which take up the trope of dementia’s “alternative realities” to narrate histories of gendered postwar violence and aging differently. Together, these chapters reveal how dementia operates as a heuristic for understanding the past and connecting to others differently, thus reimagining life with dementia as one of agency and social value. For readers of these texts, the subject of dementia becomes an opportunity for thinking about transformative approaches to care, community, and conceptions of what it means to be human in time and history. Traversing the intergenerational memory of injustices surrounding environmental degradation, war, occupation, and genocide, the works featured in "Entangled Stories" generate discussions relevant to fields of literary studies bordering trauma theory, memory studies, and postcolonialism. This dissertation’s focus on Alzheimer’s and senile dementia also emphasizes age is an important intersectional identity category, bringing disability studies into conversation with work in feminist aging studies, dementia studies, and the medical humanities. The interdisciplinary nature of this project attests to how contemporary re-imaginings of dementia go beyond… Advisors/Committee Members: Kuppers, Petra (committee member), Smith, Sidonie A (committee member), Blair, Sara B (committee member), Yergeau, Melanie R (committee member).

▼ A review of literature found no case studies regarding the inclusion of bioethics in the medical school curriculum were found in the scholarly literature, including dissertations. Additionally, no study has been published reporting the inclusion of bioethics in the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine (TAMHSC-COM) curriculum. The purpose of this dissertation was to document how the study of bioethics was incorporated into the medical education curriculum at the TAMHSC-COM. The following question guided this dissertation research: How has the study of bioethics been implemented and taught in the medical curriculum at the TAMHSC-COM? This qualitative single case study investigated how bioethics was incorporated into the TAMHSC-COM curriculum. Validity was obtained through the use of triangulation, and prolonged observation of documentation. In order to determine how the study of bioethics was included in the curriculum, an examination and analysis was carried out of available course catalogs and bulletins, syllabi, and assigned course readings. The results showed that although the term ethics appeared in the General Statements sections of the TAMHSC-COM catalogs and bulletins, no reference to bioethics was found. Nor was bioethics found in the descriptions of courses or electives offered in the department. Examination of available syllabi found bioethics listed in only three class lecture topics. Examination of texts, references and cross-references regarding ethical and bio-ethical citations, and printed material, found a tendency of authors to make little or no distinction between the terms ethics and bioethics. Often both terms were used in a single paragraph referring to a single situation. The results revealed a greater use of the term ethics than bioethics in the curriculum. A lack of distinction between the two terms reflects the lack of recognition of bio-ethics as a separate discipline in the literature. There is no evidence that students enrolled in the TAMHSC-COM recognize a difference between an ethical or bioethical perspective. One conclusion is that the TAMHSC-COM instructors followed the trend of the medical field in not emphasizing bioethics as a separate discipline, especially after recognized authors ceased to make that distinction.

▼ Arts and humanities programming is becoming increasingly incorporated in the medical school, balancing the biomedical paradigm, and nurturing human and emotional qualities and understandings in medical students. Music is often listed among these arts and humanities disciplines; yet there exists an acknowledged gap in the literature pertaining to musical activities and programming in the medical school, despite the prevalence of choirs, a cappella groups, small instrumental ensembles, and musical theatre programs in medical schools. Literature on choirs, musical ensemble, and community music suggests that choral singing can cultivate many of the intra and interpersonal skills that medical humanities programming encourages, such as empathy, cooperation, self-awareness, and human connection. Within the medical humanities, music has been tied to metaphors of “medicine as a performing art” or “the art of listening,” but very little literature exists delving into the actual musical experience of medical students. Drawing from medical humanities, community music, and education theory, and shaped by the metaphor of musical and emotional ‘resonance,’ this phenomenological study explores the relationships between choral singing and medical scholarship. Through semi-structured interviews, the primary goal of this inquiry was to develop in-depth understandings of the experiences of medical students singing as members of a musical community of practice: an extra-curricular medical school choir at a Canadian university. Findings indicate that choir is an informal, non-medical venue where students can engage with their musical identity during medical school; that choral singing can offer a means of stress-relief and creative outlet, mitigating symptoms of student burnout; and that engagement in the choir builds meaningful relationships and a supportive, connected community. Moreover, this study describes the role of music and choral singing in medical humanities and medical education, as well as suggests how involvement in a medical school choir may influence a medical student’s professional identity formation.

▼ Medicine is most often understood through the metaphor of war, as in “the fight against Ebola.” What I call the “martial metaphor” is so embedded in the discourses of medicine—and the disciplines that critique it—that we do not think twice about using this construction or about its bioethical implications, much less its origins. As the first cultural history of the martial metaphor, “Medicine Is War: The Martial Metaphor in Victorian Literature and Culture” shows how it gained cultural purchase throughout the nineteenth century to become the figure of speech so prevalent today. The thought of medicine as war didn’t begin as a metaphor; it emerged from the material connections between the military and medicine. These material connections were reflected on and redeployed as a metaphor by such authors as Mary Shelley, Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Kingsley, Bram Stoker, and Joseph Conrad during the advent of medical modernity to become codified in everyday usage. Part I discusses how Shelley and Kingsley conflated the cholera epidemics of the first half of the nineteenth century with war in the context of pre-bacteriological theories of disease. Part II addresses the connections between empire, race, and germ theory in the second half of the nineteenth century as articulated through the writings of Stoker, Conan Doyle, and Conrad, where we see that the epistemological change to understanding disease as caused by living organisms challenged Britain’s salubrious racial identity.“Medicine Is War” accounts for the historical baggage in the language commonly used to articulate the encounter with disease. Scholars such as Pamela Gilbert and Laura Otis who have referenced the metaphor in the context of other investigations of how nineteenth literature dealt with biological anxieties mapped onto political ones and vice versa have not addressed the cultural work of the metaphor itself. By contrast, “Medicine is War” traces how the metaphor’s history influenced its use in the Victorian era, revealing how literature occluded the military history of medical language and circulated the resulting metaphor in the public imaginary.

▼ This dissertation, “The Wound that Makes Whole: Bleeding and Intersubjectivity in Middle English Romance,” analyzes bleeding as a metaphor for expression, physical healing, spiritual purgation, and nourishment in Middle English (ca. 1350 – 1500) romances, in concert with contemporaneous medical texts concerning bloodletting, nursing, and menstruation. I argue that the forms of bleeding detailed in the romances ultimately enable the texts’ characters to develop a more robust intersubjectivity, as the vulnerability inherent in bleeding both allows and necessitates the formation of identities based on bodily boundaries and their transgressability. My approach to bleeding as a “metaphor” draws on Lakoff and Johnson’s conception of metaphor as fundamentally embodied, and on recent research on physiological responsiveness demonstrating the power words have to change bodies. My project is, at the same time, fundamentally historicist, arguing for the genealogical importance of medieval medicine to current reconsiderations of organic sensitivity to putatively cultural phenomena. Hence my work also affiliates with that of scholars like Louise Bishop, who has shown that the power of language to alter bodily processes was a central notion in medieval materialism. My project approaches the intersections between medical texts and romances to argue that it is often the words used in medical manuscripts – technical, specialized physical terminology – that have the most power to change bodies in medieval literature. That is, the language of medical care has profound effects on the creation of identity and community in medieval romance. The theoretical framework of my projectisbased fundamentally in the growing fields of medical humanities and narrative medicine. I turn to scholars such as Louise Bishop, Elaine Scarry, Rita Charon, Arthur W. Frank, and Jonathan Shay to consider the complexities of the wounded body, and how that body communicates with and relates to others. Other theoretical works I turn to are primarily psychoanalytical and neurological theories of the relation between body and mind (in particular Giovanna Colombetti), as well as neighbor theory (especially Derrida and Žižek). Each of these bodies of critical thought helps me parse the ways in which bleeding, vulnerability, care, sacrifice, and identity and community formation interact in medieval romantic texts. My dissertation distinguishes itself most notably from previous scholarship on blood in the Middle Ages by utilizing the primary interdisciplinary framework of contemporary medieval medical texts, as well as the philosophy of the medical humanities, to analyze the romances.

▼ Tracing the experiences of assimilation, exclusion, and exploitation that accompany demographic change, "National Bodies" reveals the ways in which community is biologically constituted through the spread of contagion, defined by epidemiological records, governed through public health policy, and discursively produced across genres. It draws from an interdisciplinary archive of public health literature that, in addition to nineteenth- and twentieth-century novels, poetry, and modernist autopathography, features domestic hygiene manuals, municipal sanitary surveys, and health policy documents. In so doing, "National Bodies" records the emergence of a vast public health infrastructure – a complex network of housing ordinances, sanitary regulations, quarantine protocols, border patrol, and immigration quotas – that legislatively defines the national population. I designate this interdisciplinary discursive milieu the "literature of American public health," and it is within this literature, I argue, that citizenship status, American identity politics, medical authority, and the purview of public health are continuously renegotiated at the turn of the twentieth century. Amid the turbulence of the postbellum and Progressive eras, as epidemiologists and health policy makers struggled to stem the spread of infection within a larger and increasingly diverse body politic, public health delineated city, state, and national populations by their shared risk of infection and the State's vested interest in their well-being. Policy designed to protect the health of the US population thereby demarcates who does and does not belong to the social and political body of the nation, and, thus, illuminates the broader legal and immunological contours of community identity. "National Bodies" taps into a prolific body of scholarship interrogating the intersections of contagion theory, culture, and community, illustrating how the science of epidemiology, which tracks the potential for contagion to spread between bodies and bodies politic – without regard for the socially constructed borders of race, class, or nation – lays the groundwork for new models of national belonging at the turn of the twentieth century. Within the past fifteen years, especially, contagion has proven a valuable heuristic through which historians of medicine and Americanist scholars analyze community formation, national identity, and social injustice. My project builds on this scholarship by looking beyond direct representations of outbreak or medical practice in American literature. Turning to literary accounts of sociopolitical and demographic upheaval, rather than illness narratives per se, "National Bodies" exposes how completely the language and logic of epidemiology reverberates throughout American social, cultural, economic, and political structures, thereby accentuating what is at stake in contemporary health policy debates, as well. Adopting a methodological approach to American literature I refer to as "reading for public health," "National Bodies" situates… Advisors/Committee Members: Ostherr, Kirsten A (advisor).

▼ The current paper proposes utilizing extant flow disruption data, collected from two cardiovascular operating rooms, and utilizing that to develop a mathematical model. Of particular interest is bypass time which is a critical surgical phase, the length of which has been linked to post-operation complications such as hospital-borne infections and readmission. By developing a model that predicts bypass time, the present research can determine the impact by types of flow disruptions – coded based on the RIPCHORD-TWA taxonomy, team member disrupted, and where in the surgery the FD occurs. After a review of literature, a variety of models were explored to support the idea that FDs are impacting bypass time. Largely correlational in nature, these various models demonstrate that there is some relationship between FD count, FD duration, and bypass time. Because of this, hypotheses were generated and more in-depth mathematical modeling options are explored. Based on the nature of the data, an adjacent possible methodology was selected to further analyze this data set. The findings of this study were unable to establish causality, however a number of unique relationships between FDs and the length of bypass time were explored. For some types of FDs, such as those impacting the anesthesia and circulating nurse role, longer bypass time was associated with longer and more numerous – yet less frequent – flow disruptions. Others (perfusionist, communication, interruptions) had similar patterns of FD length and frequency, with the differences being just how many occurred over the length of the operation. Because of the varying nature of these FDs, this research found support for the hypotheses that FDs show differences across the length of bypass time. Most importantly, this project brings with it a new understanding of the nature of the CVOR and the nature of flow disruptions occurring within it. The FDs are not themselves Markovian, and they are not just noise within the system either. By utilizing the adjacent possible methodology and applying that to the CVOR, this project helps to work past barriers in analyzing the system. The process itself, the surgical procedure, can be considered Markovian. Flow disruptions therefore must fit into this system to be better understood. The final conclusions of this project are that FDs represent adjacent possible clouds nested within the Markovian process, demonstrated through the presented data.

▼ Safety of residents has gained increased popularity in recent years following a report from the Institute of Medicine attributing 98,000 hospital deaths each year to errors by staff. As a result, regulatory agencies, advocates, and health care providers have shifted their focus to understanding patient safety and developing a culture that promotes safety. However, nursing homes lag behind other health care providers in their adoption of a patient safety culture and understanding what factors affect safety in resident care. These insights are needed to ensure that nursing home residents receive the safe care. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore factors that influence the safety of residents in nursing homes by conducting three separate studies and using Donabedian's Structure Process Outcome (SPO) framework. The first study examines facility characteristics that predict higher patient safety culture scores given by top managers among a nationally representative sample of nursing homes. Using the same sample, the second study examines the relationships among the three components of Donabedian's SPO model as they relate to patient safety: structure (patient safety culture), processes of care (restraint use) and a common patient safety outcome, resident falls. The final study uses a sample of Florida nursing homes and the SPO model to examine the relationships between nursing staff turnover, processes of care, and patient safety outcomes in nursing homes. Findings from this dissertation can contribute to a greater understanding of what predicts higher levels of patient safety in nursing homes. In the first analysis, facility characteristics that are traditionally related to quality of care in nursing homes are predictive of higher patient safety culture scores. In the second analysis, higher ratings of patient safety culture are related to better processes of care and a decreased likelihood of resident falls. In the final analysis, results indicate that Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) turnover had an independent effect on two patient safety outcomes, falls and UTIs, and that this effect is mediated by processes of care within the nursing home. Collectively, the findings from this dissertation may have important implications for policy makers, providers, and consumers of nursing home services.

▼ In this project, I use a rhetorical-cultural approach to examine the multiple and often-contradictory messages circulating in contemporary American culture about the event of childbirth. Though many feminist scholars have shown how professional obstetrics’ view of physiological birth shapes medical practice and women’s experiences in hospitals, few have asked what the American public is learning about birth outside of the hospital, or why that knowledge might matter. In order to fill that gap, I trace a dominant narrative that positions institutionalized biomedical knowledge and technology as the exclusive producers of health and safety for birthing women and their babies in popular film and television, in the making of medical research and policy, and in the way the insurance industry frames women as consumers or recipients. I argue that it is not just in the delivery room that this ideology gets communicated, nor are birthing women the only ones affected by its messages. Rather, my analysis illustrates how this narrative has seeped into the fabric of how American society as a whole understands and engages with medicine, women’s bodies, and science. In the final chapter, in order to explore a growing resistance to this ideology, I turn to the discursive construction of birth in online media. Read alongside the mainstream narrative, the rhetoric in these online spaces illustrates how the stakes of this debate are not just about who gets to decide where and how women should have their babies, but ultimately over who gets to interpret and apply science. The battle over birth in this country is, as this dissertation shows, also a battle over the public’s understanding of institutionalized medicine’s exclusive claims to scientific knowledge. By exposing the ways that narratives about and within that system function to sustain it, and illuminating the ways that the organizing power of new media is generating resistance to that system, this project seeks to intervene in conversations about the cultural meanings of childbirth, about meaningful and ethical health care, and, ultimately, about the production and circulation of knowledge about science, medicine, and women’s bodies.

▼ This dissertation examines literary and medical texts from throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to better understand prevailing attitudes about gender and disease. The project traces the progression of three diseases – consumption, chlorosis, and hysteria – throughout the long nineteenth century, paying particular attention to the stereotypes and prevailing medical notions of each illness. In general, this work examines the influence of lovesickness, female-patient/male-doctor dynamics, and pathology on the endemic or epidemic nature of each disease. In particular, the first three chapters of this project study tuberculosis – or consumption as it was called in the nineteenth century – and the ways in which society presumed this illness manifested either through the female’s beauty or spirituality. This work also uses nineteenth-century writing from women and men who dispute the notions of the beautiful and spiritual consumptive. The second three chapters of this project examine hypochromic anemia – chlorosis in the nineteenth century – and the prevailing medical notion that its manifestation in younger women could be cured through sex, marriage, and childbearing. In so doing, this dissertation studies its roots in lovesickness, procreation, and the Early Modern era. The final section of three chapters explores the somatic manifestations of hysteria – a disease that appeared endemic to young woman throughout this era – and its comorbid condition of neurasthenia. This project looks at texts written by those so diagnosed as well as by those doing the diagnoses. This work concludes with an afterward focused on how the gender-specific medicine of the past continues to impact racialized medicine of the present.Keywords: Medical humanities, tuberculosis, consumption, chlorosis, anemia, lovesickness, hysteria, neurasthenia, comorbidities, racialized medicine, gender-specific medicine.
