- Abstract: In this paper, we address the question on how societies coped with pandemic crises, how they tried to control or adapt to the disease, or even managed to overcome the death trap in history. On the basis of historical research, we describe how societies in the western world accommodated to or exited hardship and restrictive measures over the course of the last four centuries. In particular, we are interested in how historically embedded citizens' resources were directed towards living with and to a certain extent accepting the virus. Such an approach of "applied history" to the management of crises and public hazards, we believe, helps address today's pressing question of what adaptive strategies can be adopted to return to a normalized life, including living with socially acceptable medical, hygienic and other pandemic‐related measures. 摘要: 本文研究了一个问题,即历史上社会如何应对大流行危机、如何试图控制或适应疾病、或甚至努力战胜死亡陷阱。基于历史研究,我们描述了过去四百年里西方社会如何适应或摆脱困境和限制性措施。特别地,我们希望了解历史上公民资源如何被用于适应病毒,并在一定程度上接受病毒。我们认为,对危机和公共危害管理采取这样的"应用史"(applied history)方法,能帮助应对当前的迫切问题,即能通过什么样的适应性策略回归正常生活,包括适应社会认可的医疗、卫生及其他与大流行相关的措施。 Resumen: En este artículo abordamos la cuestión de cómo las sociedades enfrentaron las crisis pandémicas, cómo intentaron controlar o adaptarse a la enfermedad, o incluso cómo lograron superar la trampa mortal de la historia.

Basándonos en la investigación histórica, describimos cómo las sociedades del mundo occidental se adaptaron o salieron de las dificultades y las medidas restrictivas durante los últimos cuatro siglos. En particular, estamos interesados en cómo los recursos de los ciudadanos históricamente arraigados se dirigieron a vivir con el virus y, hasta cierto punto, a aceptarlo. Creemos que este enfoque de "historia aplicada" a la gestión de crisis y peligros públicos ayuda a abordar la urgente cuestión actual de qué estrategias de adaptación se pueden adoptar para volver a una vida normalizada, que abarque vivir con servicios médicos y de higiene socialmente aceptables y otras medidas relacionadas con la pandemia. … (more)
