Název v původním jazyce

Fear of Seeming Death in Eighteenth-Century Europe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter focuses on medical approaches to death, often associated with the fear of apparent death, or of burying people alive because they seemed to have died a natural death. Most critically for our understanding of the profound changes that effected the approach to death in the modern era proves to be the ever growing professionalization of the medical field and hence of forensic medicine since the seventeenth century. The central question pertained to the issue how to determine absolutely that death had occurred, which thus justified the burial of the dead person. But this was also the time when people became more concerned with the possibility that individuals might not have died and could recover by themselves. This required the medical profession and others to reflect upon the appropriate measures to help those who were revived. How to determine whether real death had occured emerged as a tough question which both the health police and medical doctors tried to answer to the best of their abilities.
