1930年代の上海について

土曜日のエスプレッソ。今週もまた面白かった。アフリカの芸術作品を返還するという問題、チェチュニアにおけるゲイへの激しい嫌悪と差別の問題などの真面目な問題と並んで、20世紀前半の上海の文化都市としてのありさまを描いた書物が二つ紹介されていた。私はいま東京の精神病院の社会史を研究していて、東京で暮らす患者たちの都市文化指向を考えるときに、もちろんロンドンやパリやニューヨークなどを念頭においていたが、もう一つの国際都市である上海のことももちろん考えなければならないし、この時期の上海には深い魅力がある。少なくとも、私の青春時代にはそのように横光利一『上海』や映画『ラスト・エンペラー』で習った(笑)青春の街の一つである上海について、その国際性や競馬場の歴史を観てみよう。

映画『エジソンズ・ゲーム』を観てきました!

edisons-game.jp

 

映画『エジソンズ・ゲーム』を観てきました。実佳と並んで、というか、一席あけてみてきました。原題は The Current War で、direct current を支持するエジソンと alternate current を支持したウェスティングハウス(初めて聞いた人物でした・・・)の死闘を描いた映画。メインストリームの話は、とても面白かった。

かなり強調されていた話題が電気椅子。この時期に導入され、エディソンも中心人物だってのですね(ううううむ・・・・)Wikipedia でも確認しましたが、人前で行われた実験で馬が用いられたという話でした。

 

2億から6億の covid-19 の患者

 

www.economist.com

 

エコノミストの巻頭言。Covid-19についての面白い理論である。このパンデミックがどのくらい継続するのかという話である。現在の多くの国家で起きているのは第二波ではなくて第一波であろう、記録患者が一人いることは12人の感染者がいるということだろう、死亡についても2人の死亡につきもう一人を足すべきだろう、そして、このままのペースで増加していくと、2021年春には患者数が2億から3億、死者は140万人から370万人であろうという。

 

Corvid-19 によるイングランドの被害の多さと日本の被害の少なさ

 

www.bbc.com

 

www.bbc.com

Corvid-19による死者数を国際比較する問題について、一つ確実な考え方とデータが出てきたので報告。

私や多くの学者は、これだけの短期間でのcovid-19での国際比較は難しいと思っていて、ここにはあまり踏み込まなかった。<記録された>患者の数や、<covid-19によって>死亡した患者の数だから、ことさら難しい。特に病院での死亡が欧米諸国よりも相対的に少ない日本を考えるときには、どのようにアプローチできるのかという問題は、少なくとも私の医学史や歴史人口学の能力を超えていた。私が使ったのは麻疹の周期性で、これなら国際比較ができる。

話をもどすと、corvid-19に関しては、日本と国際社会の比較は考えないようにしていたが、イギリスの側が着目して議論を展開している。読んでみて、本当に感心した。excess mortality の概念を使って、ある時期の過剰死亡率 excess mortality を比較するという、もっともシンプルな方法である。

 

日本に関するこのデータはないが、おそらくほとんど変わっていないだろう。別の記事では、なぜ日本などにおける被害はこれほど少ないのかという問題も議論している。
