We Live in a Wagon Never Going Anywhere
The collection of Vladimir Ćepulić’s photographs named The Housing Misery in Zagreb, with wagon apartments as one of its main themes, documents the perception of tuberculosis, particularly its epidemiological aspect, between the two world wars. The representation of tuberculosis as a threat is realized in these photographs through the demonstration of dire housing conditions in which parts of Zagreb’s poverty-stricken population resided. Ćepulić’…
A Profession in Conflict
This paper will elaborate the impact of social, political and economic processes on the formation and development of the pharmaceutical profession in Croatia until the end of the Second World War. Political axes and dominant economic theories shaped a complex history of interactions between the pharmaceutical profession and state structures, dramatically polarizing the profession into interest groups. The paper will focus on the conflicts which a…
A Tortured Nation Gave Birth to a Lunatic’
In spring 1912, 25-year-old lawyer Luka Jukić tried to assassinate the Croatian Ban and Royal Commissioner Slavko Cuvaj. This article focuses on several aspects of the trial against Jukić: first, on analysing the impact of Cesare Lombroso’s criminology in Croatia; second, on the testimony by forensic psychiatrist Ivo Žirovčić, who controversially claimed that Jukić was sane; third, on unmasking the techniques and manipulations by the media, the r…
‘They accused me of strangling her’
Nineteenth-century psychiatry shifted its focus to the brain as the seat of mental disorders. With a new understanding of mental disorders arose the need to consult forensic psychiatrists in cases of criminal acts committed by persons with mental illness. This article focuses on three murders committed by ‘epileptics’ at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries in Croatia. An analysis of these cases will help to situ…
From an Impure Source, All Is Impure’
Andrija Štampar (1888–1958) was one of the leading public health activists in the first half of the twentieth century. In the countries of former Yugoslavia he is remembered as the pivotal public health figure, a man who led the project of building 250 health institutions during his tenure in the Ministry of Public Health (1919–1931). Internationally, historians acknowledge his role as the president of the Interim Commission (1946–1948) in the de…
The Substance of De Spiritu
The aim of this paper is to depict the anatomical and physiological doctrines of the treatise entitled Περι πνευματος, or De spiritu. By closely examining the contents of the treatise on its own accord, rather than through its Aristotelian or Hellenistic contexts, we attempt to overcome the aporetic and often disconnected style of the author, and to present a coherent picture of his doctrine of pneuma, its roles in the body, the anatomical struct…
Aristotle’s Physiology of Animal Motion
Aristotle had a developed theory of animal motion with an elaborate physiological component. In this paper we present the physiological component in which the main role is assigned to structures called neura which operate on bones. We demonstrate that neura exclude muscles and we propose an explanation for Aristotle's curious neglect of muscles in his physiology of animal motion. Also, we try to identify the main neura specified by Aristotle, we …
