“…Historians and sociologists of medicine have written extensively upon the use and importance of case histories in the development and dissemination of knowledge. 40 As Ivan Crozier observes, case histories transformed subjective experiences of illness into statistically regular and medically comprehensible data. 41 Practitioners at the MGC sought to make venereal conditions understandable through the presentation of cases and the keeping of case histories in which they described and categorised symptoms.…”

In 1899 the British Medical Journal enthusiastically announced that a new postgraduate teaching college was to open in London. The aim of the Medical Graduates' College and Polyclinic (MGC) was to provide continuing education to general practitioners. It drew upon emerging specialisms and in so doing built upon the generalist training received at an undergraduate level. Courses were intended to refresh knowledge and to introduce general practitioners to new knowledge claims and clinical practices. The establishment of postgraduate institutions such as the MGC marked an important stage in the development of medical education in England. Yet these institutions, and the emergence of postgraduate medical education more broadly, have been largely overlooked by historians. Moreover the history of venereological training among medical undergraduates and postgraduates alike has been overlooked. The study of such special subjects characterised postgraduate study. This article examines the dissemination of venereological knowledge among subscribers to MGC as an important case study for the development of institutionalised postgraduate medical education in England at the turn of the twentieth century.

“…Når kunnskapsfeltet endres, endres også medisinens eksempelsamling. For det andre: Innen dette kunnskapsfeltet velges sykehistorier ut fordi de enten viser trekk som er typiske, eller fordi de avviker betydelig fra den aksepterte standard (10). Noen av sykehistoriene referert over hører nok mest til den andre kategorien, men hva man vil oppfatte som akseptert standard vil også variere.…”

“…The formation of new epistemic objects is one of the key factors in the emergence of a field. We see this process throughout the early part of the twentieth century, where much effort went into describing and standardizing the newly observed conditions, which were circulated in the psychiatric literature in the form of case histories (see Crozier, 2008). This process effectively meant taking non-western patients out of their original cultural context, by describing and treating them in terms dictated by western psychiatry, and occasionally offering western medicines or therapies.…”

The history of transcultural psychiatry has recently attracted much historical attention, including a workshop in March 2016 in which an international panel of scholars met at the Maison de Sciences de l'Homme Paris-Nord (MSH-PN). Papers from this workshop are presented here. By conceiving of transcultural psychiatry as a dynamic social field that frames its knowledge claims around epistemic objects that are specific to the field, and by focusing on the ways that concepts within this field are used to organize intellectual work, several themes are explored that draw this field into the historiography of psychiatry. Attention is paid to the organization of networks and publications, and to important actors within the field who brought about significant developments in the colonial and post-colonial conceptions of mental illness.
