  • Complaints and Disorders
    The medical system is strategic for women’s liberation. It is the guardian of reproductive technology – birth control, abortion, and the means for safe childbirth. It holds the promise of Complaints freedom from hundreds of unspoken fears and complaints that have handicapped women throughout history. When we demand AND control over our own bodies, we are making that demand above all to the medical system. It is the keeper of the keys. But the medical system is also strategic to women’s oppression. Medical science has been one of the most powerful sources of sexist ideology in our culture. Justifi cations for sexual Disorders discrimination – in education, in jobs, in public life – ultimately The Sexual Politics of Sickness rest on the one thing that differentiates women from men: their bodies. Theories of male superiority ultimately rest on biology. Medicine stands between biology and social policy, between the “mysterious” world of the laboratory and everyday life. It makes public interpretations of biological theory; it dispenses the medical fruits of scientifi c advances. Biology discovers hormones; doctors make public judgments on whether “hormonal unbalances” make women unfi t for public offi ce. More generally, biology traces the origins of disease; doctors pass judgment on who is sick and who is well. Medicine’s prime contribution to sexist ideology has been to describe women as sick, and as potentially sickening to men.

  • The Characterization of the Physician in Schnitzler's and Chekhov's Works
    THE PHYSICIAN IN SCHNITZLERIS AND CHEKHOV1S WORKS THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHYSICIAN IN SCHNITZLER 'S Al''-ID CHEKHOV I S WORKS By LOVORKA IVANKA FABEK, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master Gf Arts McMaster University September 1985 MASTER OF ARTS (1985) McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHYSICIAN IN SCHNITZLER'S AND CHEKHOV'S WORKS AUTHOR: LOVORKA IVANKA FABEK, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Gerald Chapple NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 146. ii ABSTRACT Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931) and Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) were both writers as well as physicians. The latter profession had a significant influence on their works, which is evident in the frequent use of the doctor figure in their plays and prose works. What distinguishes Schnitzler and Chekhov from other writers of the fin-de,...si~c1e, is their ability to clinically observe psycho­ logical and social problems. Sclmitzler's and Chekhov's works contain "diagnosesJl made by their doctor figure. This study examines the respective qualities of a spectrum of six major types. There are mixed, mainly positive and mainly negative types of doctor figures, ranging from the revolutionary type down to the pathetic doctor figure and the calculating type. Dealing with differences as well as with similarities, the thesis concludes by showing how the characterization of the doctor figure sh.eds light on the authors that created them. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my Supervisor, Dr. Gerald Chapple, for initially suggesting the topic of this thesis and for his guidance and advice.

A young Ethiopian woman sits in a dilapidated, dimly lit hut on the edge of her village. A stream of urine is running down her shins, soiling her dress and the makeshift bed on which she sleeps. Occasionally, someone stops by to drop off a pot of food. Otherwise the woman is left to her own devices. A failed, obstructed labor had caused her to lose both her baby and control over her excretions. Ap- palled by her state and disgusted by her smell, her kin, husband, and com- munity were quick to cut all ties with her and banish her out of sight. So there she sits, stinks, and suffers. Until, that is, she discovers the possibility of a surgical intervention that promises to repair her leaking.

  • Metrodogs: the Heart in the Machine
    MetroDogs: the heart in the machine Alaina Lemon University of Michigan Dogs in the Moscow Metro, some say, have evolved a unique sentience: they navigate a human-scaled infrastructure and interpret human motives there. Such assertions about dogs, and encounters with them on public transit, invoke Soviet-era moral projects that wove sentiment (‘compassion’) and affect (‘attention’) through technical dreams: to erase material suffering and physical violence, to traverse the globe and the cosmos, to end wars and racisms. Dogs, after all, helped defeat the Nazis and took part in the space race. In the Metro now, their wags and barks stir debate about access and exclusion, resonating across assemblages of materials and meanings, social connections and signs. MetroDogs invite us to theorize the ways people extend connections in the moment well beyond the here-and-now. Super-smart dog mutants have appeared in Moscow, explaining themselves with gestures. Novosti Rossii, 14 October 2004 Dogs have learned to ride the Moscow Metro escalators. Inhabitants have documented this on the Internet, posting videos of dogs who wait for trains and curl up on car bench seats. Moscow’s leading canine experts stress the dogs’ strategic virtuosity as they slip between car doors just as they slam shut: MetroDogs entertain themselves in quite an original way. They love to jump through the closing doors of electric train cars. Just in time, so that their tails might get pinched! Zoologists say that this striving towardsextremesarisesfromsatiation.Justasitdoesinpeople,incidentally(Komsomol’skaja Pravda, 20 May 2008). For Muscovites, it is an enviable virtuosity: they may know their Metro as the most efficient, most beautiful in the world, but they also know that its automated car doors smash together even before the recording finishes warning passengers (Lemon 2009a).

  • Conflict, Social Identity, and Violence in the World of Russian Rural Medicine: Two Chekhov Stories
    journal of modern russian history and historiography 8 (2015) 3-34 brill.com/jmrh Conflict, Social Identity, and Violence in the World of Russian Rural Medicine: Two Chekhov Stories Samuel C. Ramer Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, usa [email protected] Abstract Anton Chekhov’s stories “An Unpleasantness” (1888) and “Thieves” (1890) provide nuanced portrayals of the world of rural medicine in late tsarist Russia. The stories, which are rooted in the historical experience of zemstvo medicine, explore the conflicts and everyday tra- vails that physicians and feldshers encountered in their zemstvo service. This article locates the stories in the historical environment of the time in which they are set. Chekhov focuses particular attention upon physicians’ and feldshers’ preoccupation with their sta- tus and social identity together with their relationships both with one another and with their zemstvo employers. The stories suggest the ways in which the frustrations and con- flicts of rural practice fostered an undercurrent of despair or even violence within the zemstvo medical world itself. Within the stories, Chekhov explicitly links his protagonists’ everyday experience to the transformations that occur in their overall consciousness. Keywords Anton Chekhov – rural medicine – intelligentsia – professions – zemstvo – zemstvo medicine – zemstvo physicians – zemstvo doctors – feldshers – midwives – physicians’ assistants – social identity – consciousness – authority – power – conflict – violence – everyday life – tsarist Russia – imperial Russia – “Thieves” – “An Unpleasantness” © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2015 | doi 10.1163/22102388-00800002 <UN> 4 Ramer … “The physician you invite, but the feldsher you summon.” “Врача пригласить, а фельдшера позвать.” Anton Chekhov, Zapisnye knizhki1 ∵ Anton Chekhov’s stories and plays provide a richly detailed portrait of Russian society at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries.

Published, February, 1920 TRANSLATOR'S NOTE Of the eighteen hundred and ninety letters published by Chekhov's family I have chosen for translation these letters and passages from letters which best to illustrate Chekhov's life, character and opinions. The brief memoir is abridged and adapted from the biographical sketch by his brother Mihail. Chekhov's letters to his wife after his mar- riage have not as yet been published. \ BIOGKAPIIICAL SKETCH In 1841 a serf belonging to a Russian nobleman pur- chased iiis freedom and the freedom of his family for 3,500 roubles, i)eing at the rate of 700 roubles a soul, with one daughter, Ahixandra, thrown in for nothing. The grandson of this serf was Anton Chekhov, the author; the son of the nobleman was Tcherlkov, the Tolstoyan and friend of Tolstoy. There is in this nothing striking to a Russian, but to the English student it is sufficiently signif- icant for several reasons. It illustrates how recent a growth was l\u) (jduealed middle-class in pre- revohitionary Russia, and it sliows, what is pi^rhaps more significant, the homogeneity of the; Russian people, and their capacity for comphitely changing their whole way of life.
