Abstract:

Eugenics was defined by Galton as ‘the science which deals with all influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race’. In Peru, eugenics was related to social medicine and mental hygiene, in accordance with the neo-Lamarckian orientation, that predominated in Latin America. Peruvian eugenists assumed the mission of fighting hereditary and infectious diseases, malnutrition, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, criminality and everything that threatened the future of the ‘Peruvian race’. There were some enthusiastic advocates of ‘hard’ eugenic measures, such as forced sterilization and eugenic abortion, but these were never officially implemented in Peru (except for the compulsory sterilization campaign during the 1995–2000 period). Eugenics dominated scientific discourse during the first half of the twentieth century, but eugenic discourse did not disappear completely until the 1970s.

Abstract:

The ArgumentAmerican eugenics developed out of a cultural tradition independent of medicine. However, the eugenicist Harry Hamilton Laughlin and some legal experts involved in eugenic practice in the United States used medical language in discussing and evaluating enforced eugenic sterilizations. They built on medicine as a model for healing, while at the same time playing down medicine's concern with its traditional client: the individual patient. Laughlin's attitude toward medicine was ambivalent because he wanted expert eugenicists, rather than medical experts, to control eugenic practice. In contrast, legal experts saw eugenics as an integral part of medicine, though one expert challenged basing the judicial system on eugenically minded medicine. All in all, the medicalization of American eugenics involved expanding the scope of medicine to include the mutilation of individuals for the benefit of society. The judicial system was medicalized in that an expanded medicine became the basis of legislation in the thirty states that permitted eugenic sterilizations

Abstract:

Eugenics is the selection of desired heritable characteristics in order to improve future generations, typically in reference to humans. The article is about eugenics in historical, biological and educational aspects. The historical aspect is elaborated on and includes early eugenics, eugenics organizations, popular support for eugenics, and anti-eugenics sentiments. Despite the dropping of the term eugenics, eugenic ideas remained prevalent in many issues concerning human reproduction and genetic intervention. “New Eugenics” is a fact. “New Eugenics” includes education. Does it really?

Abstract:

AbstractRonald Aylmer Fisher (1890–1962) is today remembered as a giant of twentieth-century statistics, genetics and evolutionary theory. Alongside his influential scientific contributions, he was also, throughout the interwar years, a prominent figure within Britain's eugenics movement. This essay provides a close examination of his eugenical ideas and activities, focusing particularly upon his energetic advocacy of family allowances, which he hoped would boost eugenic births within the more ‘desirable’ middle and upper classes. Fisher's proposals, which were grounded in his distinctive explanation for the decay of civilizations throughout human history, enjoyed support from some influential figures in Britain's Eugenics Society and beyond. The ultimate failure of his campaign, though, highlights tensions both between the eugenics and family allowances movements, and within the eugenics movement itself. I show how these social and political movements represented a crucial but heretofore overlooked context for the reception of Fisher's evolutionary masterwork of 1930, The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection, with its notorious closing chapters on the causes and cures of national and racial decline.

Abstract:

The article argues that eugenics was motivated, in part, by human exceptionalism. It first explores the ways in which eugenics understood nonwhite race, disability, and animality as forces capable of exerting a drag on the forward thrust of eugenic progress. Next, it traces the incoherent discourse about animality within eugenics, demonstrating that while eugenic breeding—eugenic methods—relied on human animality, the fundamental goal of eugenics was to improve human beings by distancing us from that animality. The final part of the article explores the imbrication of animality, race, and disability in Aldous Huxley’s 1948 novel Ape and Essence , arguing that the novel is a dysgenic vision that substantiates the eugenic call to increase the evolutionary distance between human beings and other animals, to cement human domination—conceived of as white human domination—of the planet.

Abstract:

Aim. To show the short history of the origin and development of the eugenic ideas at the beginning of the 20th century. Methods. Historical-genetic and historical-comparative methods were used. Results. The article presents the results of historical and medical research that demonstrated that close by the tasks to medicine eugenics studied inherited properties, their social manifestations and historical changes. Science eugenics gained wide circulation and recognition in 1920s in USSR. The ideas became popular that achievements of the Soviet health care, its preventive direction lead to creation of higher sanitary culture and realization of eugenic tasks for creation of the harmonious Soviet identity. Since the early 1930s in the Soviet Union the eugenics underwent severe criticism. The eugenic ideas were completely discredited by Nazi programs of fascist Germany in 1933-1945 when millions of people were exterminated. In the end of the 20th century interest in eugenics has renewed because of development of genetics. Conclusion. Despite the ambiguous past, the eugenics had played a certain positive role as it allowed understanding genetic and anthropological human features, and served as an incentive for development of medical genetics and study of genetic diseases.

Abstract:

Abstract Although multiple scholars have pushed music education to embrace the aesthetic as a curricular and pedagogical touchstone, research surrounding this aesthetic turn has largely framed aesthetics as a sensory experience rather than a social technology (one that can both liberate and oppress). In response, I address the following question: how do uncritical aesthetic philosophies and the experiences they engender act as a means of oppression within music education? By way of example, I approach this question through a text analysis of writings on aesthetics from The Eugenics Review, a long-running publication that disseminated eugenics news and research. In doing so, I construct a eugenical theory of aesthetics that illuminates how eugenicists used aesthetics to enact what Foucault defines as pastoral power and assert control of bodies and populations through education. I then frame the writings of Carl Seashore (a pioneering music education researcher and avowed eugenicist) within this eugenical theory of aesthetics, revealing the ways that Seashore used aesthetic theory to forward eugenical arguments. I conclude with implications for contemporary educators and researchers, sounding a call for a deep and critical examination of all aesthetic formations within music education.

Abstract:

Recently there has been a revival of interest in the theory and practice of eugenics by both academics and lay people. The ongoing revolution in biology and the increasing ability to acquire genetic information has led to concerns about genetics being used again for sinister eugenic ends. Although the goals behind traditional eugenics - the minimization of disease and the improvement of human health - remain unchanged, the means by which these goals should be achieved have altered significantly. However, in debates about the impact of human genetic research, eugenics is sometimes viewed as a purely historical phenomenon and its relevance to the current situation is minimized. This article outlines the history of the eugenics movement, describes some eugenic practices, and explores why an appreciation of these historical debates is important for nurses.

Abstract:

The ArgumentIs genetic counseling a form of eugenics? To some extent, the answer depends upon how the terms “eugenics” and “genetic counseling” are defined. This paper reviews the eugenic implications of four models of genetic counseling. The complexities of slapping the eugenic label on genetic counseling are illustrated with three cases drawn from clinical practice. However, even though genetic counseling is not always a eugenic activity, genetic counselors work in a medical/ financial setting that has the net eugenic effect of, and profits from, reducing the number of people with genetic disorders.

A autora apresenta o problema desta pesquisa: as práticas biotecnológicas de reprodução assistida e terapia gênica podem violar os direitos fundamentais do individuo exigindo dessa maneira a fixação de limites passíveis de utilização prática? A partir da temática: “O conteúdo jurídico do conceito de beneficência estrita em face da experiência neo-eugênica: do limite entre técnicas terapêuticas e reprodutivas e práticas eugênicas da espécie humana” se desenvolveu o objeto deste trabalho a eugenia. O referencial teórico adotado lastreia-se na obra da Cátedra de Derecho y Genoma Humano da Universidade de Deusto em Bilbao Espanha sob a direção do professor Carlos Maria Romeo Casabona da consulta ao periódico da Cátedra a Revista de Derecho y Genoma Humano além dos autores Galton Lacadena Barbas Soutullo Semprini Frankena Vasquez e Rocha. Quanto ao delineamento do estudo a pesquisa se caracteriza como qualitativa no tocante aos procedimentos técnicos se configura como bibliográfica e quanto aos objetivos, sua natureza se apresenta como exploratória. A autora tem como objetivo geral demonstrar que muitas das práticas biotecnológicas adotadas atualmente sob o rótulo de técnicas de reprodução assistida ou de terapia gênica salvaguardadas, portanto pelo manto protetor da ciência apresentam na verdade uma forte conotação neo-eugênica. Assume a hipótese de que se faz necessário estabelecer um limites entre as ações de conseqüências estritamente benéficas emanadas das práticas biomédicas e as práticas eugênicas, o conteúdo jurídico deste conceito na atualidade frente aos diferentes tipos de cultura como também equacionar a maneira através da qual sua aceitabilidade será encarada pela sociedade. Quanto à estrutura o trabalho está ordenado em seis partes incluindo a Introdução e as Conclusões, elencadas progressivamente em número de 18. A autora no Capítulo 2 discorre sobre seu objeto de estudo: a eugenia. Sua proposta é delinear o percurso histórico da ideologia eugênica tradicional analisando a suas concepções e o embasamento teórico que a gerou assim como evidenciar o pensamento de alguns estudiosos defensores do movimento em prol da pureza da raça humana principalmente Francis Galton no Capítulo 3 descreve o fenômeno da disseminação das práticas eugênicas pelo mundo e suas repercussões no Capítulo 4 aborda o surgimento e evolução da genética como disciplina científica, suas conquistas e conseqüentes desdobramentos assim como o recrudescimento experimentado pelas idéias eugênicas a partir do advento da medicina genômica no Capítulo 5 traça o perfil jurídico e o conteúdo do conceito de beneficência estrita elaborado a partir do princípio da beneficência oriundo da doutrina bioética principialista estadunidense que foi desdobrado no sentido de ser admitido não só como obrigação mas também como um dever/direito.

A presente pesquisa objetivou problematizar a articulação entre o discurso eugênico e a produtividade da ação preemptiva da educação, a fim de evitar o surgimento de anormalidades que venham a prejudicar o corpo social. Percebe-se que a questão educacional se desdobrou em torno da degenerescência, marcou, de certa maneira, os indivíduos em que os comprometimentos físicos e/ou intelectuais não permitiram mostrar os resultados da educação recebida. Para melhor compreendermos estas nuances, investiguei diferentes artigos, dissertações e teses sobre o tema, somado a isso, analisei também como esses discursos eugênicos circularam durante a I Conferência Nacional de Educação, realizada na cidade de Curitiba, Paraná, no ano de 1927. Esse evento foi idealizado pela Associação Brasileira de Educação (fundada em 1924), e, dois anos depois, ocorreu o I Congresso Brasileiro de Eugenia. De certo modo, tais debates sobre a educação fomentaram a necessidade de se organizar algo desse porte para a sistematização da eugenia no Brasil, o que demonstra a imbricação entre ambos os temas (eugenia e educação) nesse contexto sociopolítico. Além da questão eugênica que apareceu de modo transversal em muitas teses, conceitos relativos aos cuidados com o corpo, matrimônio, maternidade, combate aos vícios, moral, educação sexual e criação da prole à luz da eugenia e da biologia também foram recorrentes no material. Isso demonstra claramente a imbricação entre o que os eugenistas propuseram à época para o aprimoramento do indivíduo e do corpo social e o que os educadores preconizaram naquele contexto para este mesmo fim.
The present research aimed to problematize the articulation between the eugenic discourse and the productivity of the preemptive action of education, in order to avoid the appearance of abnormalities that may harm the social body. It can be seen that the educational question has unfolded around the degeneracy, marked in a certain way the individuals in which the physical and / or intellectual commitments did not allow to show the results of the education received. In order to better understand these nuances, I investigated different articles, dissertations and theses on the subject. In addition, I also analyzed how these eugenic discourses circulated during the First National Conference of Education held in the city of Curitiba, Paraná, in 1927. This event was conceived by the Brazilian Association of Education (founded in 1924) two years later, the I Brazilian Congress of Eugenics (1929) took place. To a certain extent, such debates on education have instigated the need to organize something of this magnitude for the systematization of eugenics in Brazil, which demonstrates the overlap between both themes (eugenics and education) in this sociopolitical context. In addition to the eugenic question that appeared transversally in many theses, concepts related to body care, marriage, maternity, addictions, morals, sex education and offspring in the light of eugenics and biology also recurrent in the material. This clearly demonstrates the imbrication between what the eugenics proposed at the time for the improvement of the individual and the social body and what the educators advocated in that context for this very purpose.

Abstract:

O trabalho constitui-se de uma análise sobre o conteúdo de cunho eugenista produzido pela enfermagem brasileira e publicado em periódico nacional a Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (REBEn), no período de 1932 a 2002. Considerando-se a dificuldade de encontrar trabalhos científicos da enfermagem sobre a configuração de novas práticas eugenistas, positivas e negativas, associadas aos avanços biogenéticos, intensificados na década de 1990, parte-se do pressuposto de que a enfermagem, desde a sua institucionalização como profissão, vinha incorporando os diferentes contornos da eugenia até o momento atual, quando as transformações em curso ainda não têm sido expressas em sua produção teórica. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que, mediante a Análise de Conteúdo, modalidade temática, teve como objetivos: identificar como vem sendo construído o conteúdo eugenista pela enfermagem; investigar bases conceituais de eugenia positiva e negativa que deram sustentação à prática da profissão. De um total de 227 fascículos publicados, analisaram-se 263 textos, compostos majoritariamente em forma de artigo (90,11%), de cunho descritivo (70,72%), produzidos por profissionais enfermeiros (60,89%), do sexo feminino (86,74%) e vinculados a escolas de enfermagem (60,22%). Verifica-se que há uma produção continuada que aborda a preocupação com a saúde e constituição das futuras gerações ao longo do período, destacando-se três ênfases na expressão do termo eugenia na REBEn: conceituação e objetivos (1931-1951); conflitos éticos, legais e morais (1954-1976) e eugenia como um tema do início do século XX (1993-2002). Analisam-se três categorias como bases conceituais: batalha que se impõe para o aperfeiçoamento eugênico do nosso povo; a responsabilidade da enfermeira, em função da vida, é direta e não há solução para os males sociais fora das leis da Biologia. Elaboram-se conceitos idealizados de biotipo, sociedade, família e mulher/mãe que, a partir da construção de antinomias e sob bases biológicas, têm orientado ações eugenistas ligadas ao preparo de recursos humanos, educação em saúde e assistência, estabelecendo o que deve ser aperfeiçoado ou limitado em termos de reprodução humana. Pautando-se nos conhecimentos científicos já construídos, os quais vêm sendo gradativamente superados, e, num conceito de eugenia voltado ao controle reprodutivo, conclui-se que a enfermagem não tem sinalizado para as mudanças do conceito de eugenia e suas novas formas de intervenção ligadas às biotecnologias, o que implica na urgente incorporação dos recentes saberes biogenéticos e na reflexão sobre o seu alcance e implicações éticas, legais e morais, de forma a socializar tais avanços e resguardar os direitos humanos fundamentais em todas as atividades desenvolvidas nas áreas do ensino, pesquisa e assistência.
This paper constitutes an analysis about the eugenic content produced by Brazilian nursing which was published in national periodical Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem (REBEn), during the period of 1932 to 2002. Considering the difficulty of finding nursing scientific papers about the configuration of new eugenic practices, positives and negatives, associated to biogenetic improvements, increased during the nighties decade, we can assume that nursing, since it was estabilished as profession, had incorpored different eugenics outlines until the present moment, when the transformations in course have not been expressed in theoretical production yet. Under a qualitative approach through the Contents Analysis, thematic modality, its objectives were: to identify how eugenic content has been constructed by nursing and to investigate conceptual bases of positive and negative eugenics that gave support to nursing practice. 263 texts were analysed from 227 published magazines, in its majority in the form of article (90,11%), in descriptive form (70,72%), produced by nursing professionals (60,89%), female sex (86,74%) and related to nursing schools (60,22%). It was noticed that there is a continued production in the period that shows the preocupation with future generations health and constitution, highlighting three emphasis in the expression of eugenics term in REBEn: concept and objectives (1932-51); ethical, legal and moral conflicts (1954-76) and eugenics as an aspect of the first decades of the XX century (1993-2002). Three categories as conceptual bases were analysed: battle necessary for eugenic improvement of our people; nurse responsability, over life, is direct and there isnt a solution for social evils outside Biological laws. Some idealized concepts have been cosntructed around the biotype, society, family and woman/mother which, starting from the construction of antinomies and under biological bases, have guided eugenic actions connected to a human recourses preparation, health education and assistance, establishing what must be improved or limited around human reproduction. Guided by scientific knowledge already constructed, which have been gradually overcome, and through a eugenics concept connected to reproductive control, it is conclude that nursing have not signaled the changes in eugenics concept and its new intervention forms linked to biotechnology, which implies the urgent incorporation of the recent biogenetics knowledge and the reflexion about their extent and ethical, legal and moral implications, to socialize these advancements and to preserve the fundamental human rights in all nursing activities developed by education, investigation and assistance areas.

Abstract:

Eugenics has been an ever present idea since the time of Darwin. While the practices and methods have changed over the years to represent a shift from public to private considerations, eugenics still persists. Advances in scientific technology have led to progressively more finely tuned eugenic techniques in the form of cellular and molecular eugenics. Accompanied with molecular eugenics, the transhumanist movement is pushing the human condition to new boundaries. The ethical dilemmas created by such practices are staggering and barely yet considered.

Abstract:

Lynn argues that the condemnation of eugenics in the second half of the 20th century went too far and offers a reassessment. The eugenic objectives of eliminating genetic diseases, increasing intelligence, and reducing personality disorders he argues, remain desirable and are achievable by human biotechnology. In this four-part analysis, Lynn begins with an account of the foundation of eugenics by Francis Galton and the rise and fall of eugenics in the twentieth century. He then sets out historical formulations on this issue and discusses in detail desirability of the new eugenics of human biotechnology. After examining the classic approach of attempting to implement eugenics by altering reproduction, Lynn concludes that the policies of classical eugenics are not politically feasible in democratic societies. The new eugenics of human biotechnology--prenatal diagnosis of embryos with genetic diseases, embryo selection, and cloning--may be more likely than classic eugenics to evolve spontaneously in western democracies. Lynn looks at the ethical issues of human biotechnologies and how they may be used by authoritarian states to promote state power. He predicts how eugenic policies and dysgenic processes are likely to affect geopolitics and the balance of power in the 21st century. Lynn offers a provocative analysis that will be of particular interest to psychologists, sociologists, demographers, and biologists concerned with issues of population change and intelligence.

Abstract:

The word eugenics was coined in 1883 by the English scientist Francis Galton, who took the word from a Greek root meaning “good in birth” or “noble in heredity”. Eugenics aimed to assist states in implementing negative or positive policies which would improve the quality of the national breed. The intensive applications of eugenic policies coincide between two World Wars. İn the decades between 1905 and 1945, eugenics politics implemented in more than thirty countries. The method of this study is based on a literature survey on the sources of the eugenic subject. The sources of the data are documents such as books, articles, journals, theses, projects, research reports about the politics and legal regulations of the countries on the family, population, sport, health and body. This study comparatively examines eugenic policy-making in Turkey and in Western countries: Britain, United States, France, Germany (1905-1945). This study aims to discuss the relation of eugenic politics in countries with nation building process, ethnic nationalism, and racism. This is a basic claim that the eugenic practices in Turkey contain more positive measures and that there is no racial-ethnic content of eugenics in Turkey.

Abstract:

În studiul de față, autoarea se referă la demersul exegetic și recuperator pe care Johannes Kabatek, Profesor de lingvistică romanică la Universitatea din Zürich îl face în vederea promovării teoriei lingvistice a lui Eugeniu Coșeriu. În vasta contribuție exegetică a lui J. Kabatek, consideră autoarea, se remarcă, în linii mari, două direcții ale studiilor sale. Pe de o parte, cele în care dezvoltă aspecte ale lingvisticii integrale și aplică sistemul conceptual coșerian la interpretarea faptelor de limbă. Pe de altă parte, studiile în care scoate în evidență actualitatea ideilor lui Eugeniu Coșeriu sau le confruntă cu postulate ale unor curente actuale din lingvistică, demonstrând cu brio prioritatea conceptuală a lingvisticii integrale. J. Kabatek a evocat personalitatea lui Eugeniu Coșeriu cu diverse ocazii, astfel reconstituindu-i biografia intelectuală în mai multe contribuții cu genericul In Memoriam Eugenio Coseriu (Kabatek 2002, 2003a, 2003b), în Eugenio Coseriu: Memoria, lógica y fuerza de trabajo (Kabatek 2004a), în texte ulterioare, precum Eugenio Coseriu en Montevideo: reconstrucción de una epoca” (2017) ș. a.

Abstract:

«Aggression» – absorbing all the most destructive things in human activity – is the most important problem of the philosophy and theory of technogenic civilization generated by intensive scientific and technological development. The perspective of the theory of technogenic civilization requires the broadest definition of «aggression». There are three areas of technogenic actualization of the problems of aggression: universal, social, individual. In social terms, special attention is drawn to the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world, which increases the risks of various disasters and reduces the chances of democracy. On an individual plan, the problems of virtual aggression are becoming more acute and the position of eugenics is becoming stronger. The actualization of the topic of aggression in the theory of technogenic civilization once again emphasizes the need to develop the practice of post-technogenic civilization.

Abstract:

Anthonomus eugenii, or the pepper weevil, is a significant pest of Capsicum spp., causing major yield losses by destroying blossom buds and immature fruits. Native to Mexico, it has spread to Central America, the Caribbean, French Polynesia and Hawaii, USA. The weevil also affects other Solanaceae, including aubergines and some wild Solanum species. Economic impacts are severe, with up to 100% crop loss reported in some areas. In North America, greenhouse outbreaks have occurred, including one in British Columbia (Canada) and another in the Netherlands, both successfully eradicated. There has been no classical biological control implemented against A. eugenii. However, several hymenopteran parasitoids are promising candidates. Catolaccus hunteri, Triaspis eugenii and Urosigalphus sp. are notable for their effectiveness, with T. eugenii showing parasitism rates of 18-40%. Other associated parasitoids in Mexico include Bracon mellitor, Euderus sp. and Eupelmus sp., among others, highlighting potential biological control options for future management strategies.
