Abstract

Abstract Beginning with the profound geopolitical changes created by the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the creation of the Czechoslovak and Yugoslav states, this article examines how medical knowledge about maritime climate and sea-based therapies was mobilized in Czech popular touristic writing about Yugoslavia's Adriatic coast in the 1920s. The analysis of archival documents as well as non-specialist medical publications of Czech or Prague-trained doctors show that Czech tourists and curists (travelers in search of health treatments) were offered a freeform, all-encompassing therapeutic environmental approach. Inspired by Neo-Hippocratic principles, doctors stressed the importance of factors such as salt water, clean air, temperature variation, sunshine, flora, and modern facilities for disease prevention or the restoration of one's health. These doctors’ relative success in promoting the therapeutic virtues of the Adriatic Sea is explained in large part, this article argues, by a broad nexus of intertwined interests (such as the growth of tourism, concerns about public health, and the influence of Neo-Slavism) embedded in the project of transforming the Adriatic Sea into a therapeutic site.
气候疗法与南斯拉夫海岸斯拉夫里维埃拉的形成
摘要本文从奥匈帝国的解体以及捷克斯洛伐克和南斯拉夫国家的建立所造成的深刻的地缘政治变化开始,探讨了20世纪20年代捷克关于南斯拉夫亚得里亚海海岸的流行旅游作品中如何调动关于海洋气候和海基疗法的医学知识。对档案文件以及捷克或布拉格培训过的医生的非专业医学出版物的分析表明,捷克游客和好奇者(寻求健康治疗的游客)获得了一种自由、包罗万象的治疗环境方法。受新希波克拉底原理的启发,医生们强调了盐水、清洁空气、温度变化、阳光、植物群和现代设施等因素对疾病预防或恢复健康的重要性。本文认为,这些医生在宣传亚得里亚海的治疗优点方面取得的相对成功,在很大程度上是由于将亚得里亚海变为治疗场所的项目中包含了广泛的利益交织在一起(如旅游业的发展、对公共卫生的担忧以及新斯拉夫主义的影响)。
