A Möbius strip. Fin-de-siècle neuropsychiatry and Paul Möbius
The way ahead is shown by the last essay in the book, Karl Figlio's meaty piece of social history, 'How does illness mediate social relations? Workmen's compensation and medico-legal practice, 1890-1940'. The title is spot-on, and highlights the paper's concerns and approaches. Taking the eye malfunction, nystagmus, Figlio shows that late nineteenth-century medical interest in its exact specifi...

He emphasizes the importance of continental discussions of the origin of species, thus connecting this study with his recent The age of Lamarck (1...
متن کاملNarcissism, Abjection and the Reader(e) of Simone de Beauvoir's Les Belles Images
Discussions of Simone de Beauvoir's last novel, Les Belles Images (1966), tend to be in the mode of apology. The characters are shallow—runs the typical claim—the plot (essentially, Laurence's gradual awakening to her own "belle image" identity of feminine clichés as fulfilled wife, devoted mother, successful professional) flimsy and predictable.
