Description

[Machine Translation] Flies and cockroaches are now abhorred. However, there was a time when flies were regarded as small and cute creatures, and some believe that cockroaches were a symbol of affluence. How did these insects become pests to be eliminated by human hands? This book carefully reads the background to this question and reveals how the modern state has changed people's view of nature through colonial rule, the establishment of "clean" modern cities, the spread of infectious diseases during wars, and the development of poison gas. The collection includes a supplementary chapter that discusses the "disappearance" of pests due to the development of technology. The small insects reveal a dynamic history woven into the relationship between people and nature.

Description in Japanese

害虫の誕生 虫からみた日本史 (ちくま学芸文庫) / 瀬戸口明久/著

今では忌み嫌われるハエやゴキブリ。しかしハエは小さくかわいらしい生き物と見られていた時代があり、ゴキブリは豊かさの象徴だったとする説もある。こうした虫たちは、いかにして人間の手で排除すべき〈害虫〉となったのだろうか。本書はその背景を丹念に読みとき、植民地の統治、「清潔」な近代都市の成立、戦争における伝染病の蔓延や毒ガスの開発などを契機に、近代国家が人々の自然観を組みかえてきた過去を明らかにする。文庫化にあたっては、テクノロジーの発達による害虫の「消滅」などを考察した補章を収録。小さな虫から、人と自然の関係に織り込まれたダイナミックな歴史が見えてくる。
