摘要

本文试图通过对与传染病有关的神灵的探索，来质问疾病的性别世界。在前现代时期，疾病、治疗和病人护理的复杂世界充满了神圣的观念、污染和纯洁的观念。本文将探讨疾病在地方层面拟人化为女性神，以及婆罗门试图将这些地方女神改造。除了在喀拉拉邦和泰米尔纳德邦进行实地调查外，还参考了梵语、泰米尔语和马拉雅拉姆语的阿育吠陀作品、talapurāṇa和民间传说，以分析疾病女神的作用和相关性。

Towards an Iconography of Disease: Exploring the Gendered Worlds of the Goddesses of Epidemics

The article tries to interrogate the gendered world of disease through an exploration of the deities associated with contagious diseases. The complex world of disease, cure and patient care was one infused with ideas of sacrality and notions of pollution and purity in the premodern period. The article will explore the anthropomorphizing of diseases into female deities at the local level and the Brahmanical attempt to transform these local goddesses. Ayurvedic works in Sanskrit, Tamil and Malayalam, talapurāṇa and folklore have been consulted to analyse the role and relevance of goddesses of disease, in addition to fieldwork in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

期刊介绍： Studies in History reflects the considerable expansion and diversification that has occurred in historical research in India in recent years. The old preoccupation with political history has been integrated into a broader framework which places equal emphasis on social, economic and cultural history. Studies in History examines regional problems and pays attention to some of the neglected periods of India"s past. The journal also publishes articles concerning countries other than India. It provides a forum for articles on the writing of different varieties of history, and contributions challenging received wisdom on long standing issues.
