Pierre-Yves Donzé, Making Medicine a Business: X-ray Technology, Global Competition, and the Transformation of the Japanese Medical System, 1895-1945
As Pierre-Yves Donzé rightly points out, all too often, history of medicine has focused on intellectual, social and cultural aspects of medical care and its practitioners and institutions, leaving the economic side of the story to historians of business. In this important book that bridges the two fields of history, Donzé endeavours to ‘investigate and discuss how medicine transformed into a growing business and what roles technology played in th…
Adulterated Intermediaries: Peddlers, Pharmacists, and the Patent Medicine Industry in Colonial Korea (1910–1945)
In studying the patent medicine industry in colonial Korea (1910–1945), I pay attention to the inordinately large number of peddlers and small retailers—45,688 in 1935—who functioned as human intermediaries in the burgeoning medicinal market. By almost exclusively studying printed advertisements, previous scholars have depicted the patent medicine industry as the vanguard of modern marketing or as a willing partner in the commercial propagation o…
Patching Up a Diplomatic Fissure: Reassessing Richard Wunsch, a German Physician to the Korean Court, 1901–1905
In 1901 the Korean imperial court invited Greifswald-educated medical doctor Richard Wunsch to be personal physician to Emperor Kojong, only to abandon him upon his arrival in Seoul. Previous scholarship has understood Wunsch’s wasteful four-year engagement as a typical example from an incompetent regime on the cusp of its forceful transformation into Japan’s protectorate in 1905. Based upon careful analysis of hitherto unexplored diplomatic docu…

Reauthenticating Race: Na Sejin and the Recycling of Colonial Physical Anthropology in Postcolonial Korea
What are the roles of colonial physical anthropology in postcolonial societies? Does it simply disappear from the public scene, losing its academic and political utility of providing seemingly scientific justification for colonial racism? Or does it have a renewed life, serving another master in the name of science? The analysis of the postcolonial intellectual trajectories of Na Sejin (also known as Ilchae and Nishiki Seishin), Korea's foremost …
Made in Meiji Japan: German Expatriates, German-Educated Japanese Elites and the Construction of Germanness
In the study of German expatriates in Asia, the active participation and input of local host societies has often been ignored. Using an influential group of Germans in Meiji Japan (1868 -1912) and their relationship to the host society as a case study, this essay argues that "Germanness", a concept that has been long regarded as the exclusive domain of German nationals, was subject to global influence, articulated, created, and imagined by those …
Chapter Seventeen Anatomically Speaking: The Kubo Incident and the Paradox of Race in Colonial Korea
In this chapter, the author argues that this seemingly innocuous academic brouhaha, which came to be known as the Kubo Incident, holds the key to the understanding of the paradox of race in colonial Korea under Japanese rule. In the process of discrediting ill-founded academic racism that, with the help of the scientific outlook of physical anthropology provided a justification for discrimination against Koreans within the Japanese empire, Korean…
