嘻嘻哈哈说嘻哈

这是我做的一个噩梦:我女儿跟一个家伙回到家里,跟我说:“老爸,我们要结婚了。”那家伙是个说唱歌手,满口大金牙,头戴说唱巾,胳膊上大块肌肉风起云涌,一副流氓无赖样。更可怖的是:你还没回过神,已经听到小脚板的啪嗒啪嗒声——他们的后代降临了。那声音长驱直入我的起居室,在我的生活里四下乱撞,把我淹没在自己的虚伪声音中,因为我年轻那会儿也曾是这么个傻瓜蛋,沉迷于我自己的音乐、自己的声音。为此,我诅咒看见他脸的那天,那张脸简直就是我的翻版;我悔不该在那天听见他的名字,因为我惊恐不安地明白过来,一种似乎没有旋律、情感、乐器、歌词、和弦、没有序曲、没有尾声、没有高潮的音乐,一种根本就不像是音乐的音乐——说唱,统治着世界。那不再是我的世界。那是他的世界。而我生活在其中,生活在一颗嘻哈行星上。

Theoretical change and therapeutic innovation in the treatment of syphilis in mid-nineteenth-century France

This article examines changes in the treatment of venereal disease in mid-nineteenth-century France in light of theoretical developments in the understanding of these diseases. It focuses on three theories of venereal disease: the orthodox theory of the "unity" of gonorrhea and syphilis; the physiological theory of Fran?ois Broussais, which essentially denied the actual existence of such a disease; and Philippe Ricord's new doctrine of venereal disease, a theory that is often credited with having established the distinction between syphilis and gonorrhea. The argument is that theoretical considerations played a major role in the evaluation of the relative merits of these theories and that any understanding of the appeal of Ricord's new doctrine must consider not only its pathological claims but its therapeutic implications as well. This was not, however, simply an instance of theory applied. These two aspects of Ricord's new doctrine, its pathology and its therapeutics, were inextricably bound up with one another, so that judgment of the one necessarily entailed judgment of the other. The argument is that therapeutic practice should not be seen simply as a downwind consequence of changes in the theoretical understanding of disease, but rather as an integral part of the process of change. These were the kinds of developments that led doctors to believe that French medicine was making very real progress at mid-century.     

Louis Muskens: a leading figure in the history of Dutch and world epileptology

In the history of Dutch neurology Muskens has a place in his own right. Elderly neurologists still attest to the special fame of Muskens. He held a strong opinion on developing the specialty of neurology independent of psychiatry. At the same time he maintained that surgery of the nervous system also should be included in the realm of neurology. These views met with considerable opposition from colleagues and led to Muskens' isolation. To the field of epileptology he contributed both clinical and experimental neurological studies. With Donath he was the co-founder of the International League Against Epilepsy in 1909. In addition he held a lifelong interest in the pathophysiology of forced movements, which he studied both in human pathology and in experimental studies throughout the vertebrate series. This resulted in his magnum opus on the supravestibular system in 1935. His scientific work was well received in scientific societies all over Europe.
