God's Judgement? Syphilis and AIDS

God's Judgement? Syphilis and AIDS

Perry Treadwell

Writers Club Press
2001
pokkari
In 500 years, we have learned little about preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Why? Because many of us believe that they are God's Judgment. Five centuries separate the appearances of syphilis and AIDS. Nevertheless, the human response to the epidemics proves that society has learned little about coping with sexually transmitted diseases. Both were labeled God's Judgment by contemporary zealots. Both epidemics appeared mysteriously. • New findings make it doubtful that Columbus's crew brought syphilis back from the New World. • The Human Immunodeficiency Virus existed long before it caused the "Gay Plague." • English, French and Russian ruling dynasties were terminated by syphilis. • The social response to both diseases included blaming and exclusion of the affected, denial of the extent of the disease, scientific bickering, retribution for becoming infected, and charlatans with cures. • Both infections caused terror...but not enough to change sexual risk-taking. • Thrill seeking men and rebellious women are more likely to seek sex when they are lonely. Author Perry Treadwell describes society's response to these "social diseases" and synthesizes some of the writing about syphilis and AIDS. He selects some of the social and scientific issues common to both epidemics. To follow both of these infectious diseases is to expose the human foibles that make history and novels interesting, but inhibit the institution of preventive measures.

An Anatomy of Chinese

An Anatomy of Chinese

Perry Link

Harvard University Press
2013

During the Cultural Revolution, Mao exhorted the Chinese people to “smash the four olds”: old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. Yet when the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square chanted “We want to see Chairman Mao,” they unknowingly used a classical rhythm that dates back to the Han period and is the very embodiment of the four olds. An Anatomy of Chinese reveals how rhythms, conceptual metaphors, and political language convey time-honored meanings of which Chinese speakers themselves may not be consciously aware, and contributes to the ongoing debate over whether language shapes thought, or vice versa.Perry Link’s inquiry into the workings of Chinese reveals convergences and divergences with English, most strikingly in the area of conceptual metaphor. Different spatial metaphors for consciousness, for instance, mean that English speakers wake up while speakers of Chinese wake across. Other underlying metaphors in the two languages are similar, lending support to theories that locate the origins of language in the brain. The distinction between daily-life language and official language has been unusually significant in contemporary China, and Link explores how ordinary citizens learn to play language games, artfully wielding officialese to advance their interests or defend themselves from others.Particularly provocative is Link’s consideration of how Indo-European languages, with their preference for abstract nouns, generate philosophical puzzles that Chinese, with its preference for verbs, avoids. The mind-body problem that has plagued Western culture may be fundamentally less problematic for speakers of Chinese.
