摘要

殖民时期的涂鸦实践和档案实践如何塑造我们对过去的理解？危地马拉殖民地圣胡安德迪奥斯医院的记录本展示了代金券干预的潜力和限制。《隐藏的瘟疫》将日志与当代刑事案件一起进行了研究，以证明个别抄写员是如何选择在其官方著作中隐藏或披露信息的。这种方法挑战了过去学者的论点，即流行病是危地马拉市妇女健康面临的最大威胁。虽然流行病确实影响了妇女，但以新的方式阅读日志揭示了一种隐藏的流行病的存在：家庭暴力。

A Hidden Plague: Violence and Public Health in Colonial Guatemala City

How do colonial scribal practices and archival practices shape our understanding of the past? Logbooks from the San Juan de Dios Hospital in colonial Guatemala showcase both the potential and the constraints of scribal interventions. A Hidden Plague examines the logbooks alongside contemporary criminal cases to demonstrate how individual scribes chose to conceal or reveal information in their official writings. This method challenges the contention by past scholarship that epidemic disease was the greatest health threat to women in the city of Guatemala. While epidemics did indeed affect women, reading the logbooks in new ways reveals the presence of a hidden epidemic: domestic violence.

期刊介绍： The Medieval History Journal is designed as a forum for expressing spatial and temporal flexibility in defining "medieval" and for capturing its expansive thematic domain. A refereed journal, The Medieval History Journal explores problematics relating to all aspects of societies in the medieval universe. Articles which are comparative and interdisciplinary and those with a broad canvas find particular favour with the journal. It seeks to transcend the narrow boundaries of a single discipline and encompasses the related fields of literature, art, archaeology, anthropology, sociology and human geography.
