The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule

The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule

Under the rule of the descendants of Chinggis Khan (1167-1227) China saw the development of a new culture in which medical practice came to be considered a highly respected occupation for elite men. During this period further major steps were also taken towards the codification of medical knowledge and promotion of physicians’ social status. This book traces the history of the politics institutions and culture of medicine of China under Mongol rule through the eyes of a successful South Chinese official Yuan Jue (1266-1327). As the first comprehensive monograph on history of medicine in China under the Mongols it argues that this period was a separate moment in Chinese history when a configuration of power different from that of previous and succeeding periods created its own medical culture. The Politics of Chinese Medicine under Mongol Rule emphasizes the impact of the political and institutional changes caused by the Mongols and their collaborators on the social and cultural history of medicine which culminated in the medical theory of Zhu Zhenheng (1282–1358) still influential in East Asian medicine. Using a variety of Chinese-language sources including gazetteers legal texts biographies poems and medical texts it analyses the roles of the Mongols and West and Central Asians as cultural brokers and also as unifiers of China. Further it views North and South Chinese elites as agents of historical change rather than as victims of Mongol oppression. Underlining the complexity of the history of China under the Mongols and the significance of time and geography for the study of this history this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese medical history Chinese social and cultural history and medieval global history.

The Psychology of Political Communication Politicians Under the Microscope

The Psychology of Political Communication Politicians Under the Microscope

Contemporary politics is mass-communication politics. Politicians are not only seen and heard they are seen and heard in close-up through television appearances speeches interviews and on social media. In this book the authors analyse the ways in which politicians communicate with each other the media and the electorate; they also discuss the implications of contemporary political discourse on the democratic process as a whole. Politicians in interviews are typically castigated for their evasiveness. However microanalytic research shows that there is more to political discourse than this apparent ambiguity. This book reveals how equivocation interruptions and personal antagonism can offer valuable insights into a politician’s communicative style. The authors review their empirical research not only on political interviews but also on speeches parliamentary debates and political journalism. Further insights include how political speakers interact with their audiences how party leaders engage in adversarial discourse at PMQs and how the spoken messages of politicians can be affected by modern journalistic editing techniques. Thereby this research generates greater awareness of communicative practices in a diverse range of political contexts. While the interviews and parliamentary debates analysed pertain to UK politics the speeches also draw on the USA and European and Far Eastern nations. This engaging book is a fascinating resource for students and academics in psychology politics communication and other related disciplines such as sociology and linguistics. The research is also extremely relevant to policy makers and practitioners in politics and political journalism. | The Psychology of Political Communication Politicians Under the Microscope

Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

In eighteenth-century England the law surrounding vagrancy was complicated and practice stood in complex relationship to law. Drawing on extensive archival research and in-depth study of both statute law and local administrative records this book examines the complexities of vagrancy law and the realities of its practice during the long eighteenth century. It shows how settlement law and poor law provision failed to address both the changing demographic situation and the impact of wars leaving significant numbers without support. Focusing on the 1744 Vagrant Act the study traces how and why the law evolved from 1700 when vagrancy was first made a county charge and what changes followed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It explores how vagrancy law was used and to what effect how it was extended and adapted to plug gaps in both poor law provision and in dealing with petty crime not covered by statute law and how law and practice intersected with social reality. Using the Quarter Sessions records of six counties: Westmorland Cambridgeshire Dorset Hampshire Lancashire and Middlesex the book is able to give the first account of vagrancy law in provincial England rather than focusing on metropolitan areas thus also demonstrating the tensions between parishes justices and counties over the use of law and its financial impact. By detailed reference to cases of individual vagrants the book also shows what sorts of people were dealt with under vagrancy law what happened to them and how and why the justices discriminated between the unfortunate and the criminal elements among them. This analysis reveals the principal causes of the vagrancy problems and the misfit between the law and social reality with particular emphasis on the impact of wars and immigration from Ireland and Scotland. As the first full-length study of vagrancy law and practice in the eighteenth century this book will constitute an essential item in any collection of books on the old poor law. | Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law
