FROM “QUACKS TO COLLEAGUES?”: Viewing the evolution of orthodox tolerance of deviant medical practice

ABSTRACT The last two decades of this century have seen a veritable revolutionary change of attitudes within mainline medical practice toward those dissenting schools of therapy derided in the majority of the 20th Century as quacks, cultists or charlatans. This attitude was reflected in medical literature such as the annual Bibliography of the History of Medicine of the National Library of Medicine, which until 1983 indexed any mention of chiropractic under the designation, Therapeutic Cults. An examination of these pejorative labels and the influence they would have on healing, practitioners, patients and public policy will be examined, as will the attitudes and work of medical historians and sociologists, who for most of this time viewed unorthodox medical movements as aberrations. Revisionist approaches in these areas in recent times will be discussed, along with the wide popular acceptance of alternative medicine in the past decade.

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1996-1997)

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1996–1997) The following compilation is the thirty-fifth annual bibliography of current publications in the history of technology. Previous bibliographies in this series have appeared in Technology and Culture since 1964. The reader is also referred to the fifth publication of the SHOT Monograph Series, Eugene S. Ferguson’s Bibliography of the History of Technology (Cambridge, Mass., 1968). This year’s compilation marks a few changes for the bibliography. First, it combines coverage for two years of publication in the history of technology, 1996 and 1997. The advantage of combining these years is in catching up to current publication and thus increasing the timeliness of future issues of the Current Bibliography. By combining these two years, we are also offering the largest Current Bibliography yet, with more than 3,300 entries. The disadvantage of squeezing two years of bibliography into one year of work is reduced coverage of the literature, though this will be only a one-time occurrence. Second, the change in publishers of Technology and Culture provided impetus for a review of the format of this bibliography, as well as a significant and long overdue upgrade in the software used to produce it. As a result, the bibliography has acquired a new look in some respects. The most visible change is in the use of numbered references, which simplifies the referencing scheme from the name and subject indexes. The bibliography itself continues to be organized by subject classifications; fortunately, the bibliography’s own Y2K problem remains a few years off, when it will be time to reorganize the chronological divisions to reflect the advent of a new century. Last, the team of contributors to the bibliography has changed, as well. After many years of service, Stephen Cutcliffe is stepping back from his role as contributor. As regular users of the Current Bibliography remember, Stephen served as editor of the bibliography before me, and he has been a great help throughout my years as editor. His annual stack of contributions will be missed, though I will not be surprised if he cannot resist submitting the occasional reference. The bibliography has been available to scholars in electronic form since March 1992 on the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) as part of the HST (History of Science and Technology) file. It provides on-line access to [End Page 1] Current Bibliography in the History of Technology for the years 1987 through 1997, and it is possible to query it from your personal computer using a variety of indexes, assuming that you have a modem or access to the Internet. Members of the Society for the History of Technology now have free access to this database; for instructions, please consult the SHOT homepage <http://shot.press.jhu.edu> on the World Wide Web. For more information on personal or institutional RLIN accounts, please contact the RLIN Information Center at 800-537-7546 (U.S. and Canada) or consult the homepage of the Research Libraries Group <http://www.rlg.org>. The Current Bibliography of the History of Science and the Bibliografia Italiana di Storia della Scienza are also available in the HST file, and it is planned that more bibliographic files in the history of science, technology and medicine will be added to the file. Users of the HST file can obtain from me a copy of the working thesaurus for the Current Bibliography in the History of Technology, which should prove useful in working with this database. I would like to thank the other contributors to the bibliography: Guillaume de Syon, Katalin Harkányi, Patrick Harshbarger, and Ian Winship. Readers willing to scan a selected set of journals or keep track of publications in one of the subfields of the history of technology should contact me, as additional contributors are welcome and needed. I hope that a few members of the Society for the History of Technology will step forward to increase the number of contributors. Improved coverage of Eastern European, Asian, and Latin American publications remains a desideratum, and help in these areas from correspondents would be welcome. Institutions or individuals aware of a journal or publication series that has been neglected in...

The Discipline of Literature

It would be tempting to use this occasion for autobiography, and a further temptation attendant on that one would be to praise past times at the expense of the present. Whether I shall, by the time I have done, yielded to these temptations, it will be for you to say. As to the first, I shall say only enough to explain my qualifications, such as they are, to have an opinion on my stated subject. And as to the second I shall at least hope to be thought judicious. My theme is discipline, or rather the various efforts that have been made throughout the twentieth century to establish the study of modern literatures as offering a measure of academic rigour sufficient to convince scientists and classicists that we deserve to exist. I hope to help save what was good in some older ways of going about this task, as well as suggesting that not all the innovations of the past thirty or so years are likely to be much help in the long run. I was a university teacher of English for fifty years and it would be strange if in a world so changed there had not been during that period great changes in the way we do things. One that is very obvious is the huge increase in scholarly publication. Fifty years ago we were already complaining that it was impossible to keep up with the secondary literature, appalled at the bulk of The Year's Work and the Annual Bibliography (though of course anxious to see our own work recorded in them). Now teachers are more specialized and few seem obliged to 'cover the ground' as young lecturers in the I940s were still expected to do, and it is probably beyond the capacity even of keen modern specialists to keep up with their subject, however much it has been narrowed, in quite the old way. I think they have more time for research than we had, for they seem to teach less, and mostly what they choose. Of course, there is on the other hand more of what we might call pettifogging, timewasting administration associated with the job than there used to be. But that constraint may be cancelled by a greater compulsion, exerted on the much greater number of teachers, to publish fairly frequently in order to keep their jobs. So the output of books and articles is necessarily vast, yet not many of them seem to be concerned with what interests me most, and seemed to many our most valuable and difficult activity: literary criticism. I have, clumsily I must admit, searched the internet for literary criticism, and found rather little, and what there is falls short of enticing. Of course, if I had looked under feminism or gay or cultural studies or Foucault I might have found more. Obviously the vast expansion of the universities since the war is the basic reason for the expansion of literature departments, and of publication by their members. The present state of affairs is almost an accident, brought about by developments in science and technology and the need to spread education more widely. The pressure of science is ultimately responsible for the growth in the humanities; the entire history of English and related studies in the universities could be seen as an epiphenomenon of science, which, having inadvertently or absent-mindedly created large humanities departments, has always forced them to struggle for respect and

Modem Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography

The primary objective of the annual bibliography is to record current scholarship, criticism, and commentary that may prove valuable to students of dramatic literature, and, to a lesser extent, of theatre history. The bibliography includes all playwrights who lived past 1899 (plus Becque and Büchner) and influential theatre figures other than performers, Reviews, reprinted books (unless the edition has been corrected or updated), unpublished theses, graduate student periodicals, and publications of letters or diaries are generally excluded. The bibliography does not include publications of original texts of plays or translations. The annual bibliography also serves as a supplement to Charles Carpenter's Modern Drama Scholarship and Criticism, 1966- 1980: An International Bibliography (University of Toronto Press, 1986) and Modern Drama Scholarship and Criticism, 1981-1990: An International Bibliography (University of Toronto Press, 1996).
