Enemy of the World in City and Village. Anti-Venereal Disease Campaigns of Cluj Physicians in Inter-War Provincial Transylvania
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2015, Vol 20, Issue 20
Abstract
The paper investigates how sexuality becomes outstanding and a medical object in inter-war Transylvania. This issue can be discussed via one of the most typical ailments of the age: venereal diseases. This process is presented on the basis of a series of major medical actions of village surveys and rescues, and also by reviewing the film A világrém / Grozăviile lumii (Enemy of the World), screened all over Transylvania in the 1920s.
