Description of Hygienic Modernity
Placing meanings of health and disease at the center of modern Chinese consciousness, this work reveals how meanings of weisheng, with the arrival of violent imperialism, shifted from Chinese cosmology to encompass such ideas as national sovereignty, laboratory knowledge, the cleanliness of bodies, and the fitness of races.
