Hygienic Modernity, published in 2004, is an anthropological work in ten chapters by Ruth Rogaski that describes the Chinese conceptualization of hygiene, or weisheng (Chinese: 卫生; pinyin: Wèishēng), over the course of a century as a national value as well as the central vehicle for modernization.[1] The book's body of politico-cultural evidence presents the emergence of the medicalized view of China as a sick, deficient nation, weakened by a semicolonial past in the early 1900s, as well as the resulting internalization of said national illness resulting in normative shifts and new policy implements that have changed the urban built environment.[1] This created new semantic meanings of weisheng, which had Chinese cosmological significance prior to the mid-nineteenth century.[1] Rogaski traces the changing meaning of this concept through the case study of the transformation of the treaty-port city of Tianjin, cite of multiple foreign concessions and several of China's first important medical institutions such as the country's first municipal department of health and first medical academy. Hygienic Modernity is in fact Rogaski's own translation of the contemporary meaning of weisheng. This book has been critically acclaimed for its pluralistic perspective, including the subaltern of Tianjin, as well as its transnational scope.[2]
