Landscapes of Health: The Black Sea in the Socialist World. (360G-Wellcome-106837_Z_15_Z)

£4,900

Landscapes of Health: The Black Sea in the Socialist World is a workshop with two main objectives. First, it seeks to develop our understanding of the role of Black Sea health resorts in socialist medical theory, practice, and culture. It highlights the importance of the sea, rest, environmental health, and natural healing to socialist ideas and practices of health. The workshop develops the idea of the Black Sea coastline of socialist Bulgaria, Romania and the Soviet Union as a shared zone of h ealth in the geography of the socialist world. Second, the workshop develops the idea of health resorts as international meeting places. The workshop marks the 70th anniversary of the Yalta conference (February 4-11, 1945), and brings to light the role of medicine and socialist ideas of health in Cold War diplomacy. Health resorts were showcases of the socialist world, in a Cold War contest fought publicly over welfare and standards of living. This workshop brings together for the first time scholars studying the health resorts of the Black Sea, with contributions from specialists in the history of medicine, history, film, architecture and urban planning, and scholars of both the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc.
