项目摘要

This study will examine the practice of using colour as a therapeutic or curative agent, what was sometimes calledchromotherapy, in British design and medicine from 1870 to 1950. This project will begin with the dawn of scientificenquiries into how colour could be used in medical settings during the final decades of the nineteenth century. This focuswill then shift to the ways in which these theories and practices were mainstreamed and mobilised to treat shell-shockand neurasthenia during and in the immediate aftermath of World War I Britain, followed by the intensification ofdiscussions around chromotherapy in diverse fields such as psychiatry, oncology, art therapy and hospital design duringthe interwar years. This project will conclude with the decline of chromotherapy after World War II but will examine theenduring influence of interconnected ideas such as colour psychology and the use of colour in medical spaces. It will bedemonstrated how these controversies, technologies, and variegated efforts to define the role of colour in the therapeuticencounter encompassed much wider concerns including how the mood and mind of the patient were prioritised inmedical settings; the role of art and design for health and wellbeing in a rapidly modernising, mechanised world; and howbeliefs about the affective power of colour defined wider poetic, political and scientific understandings of bodies, brainsand emotions.

这项研究将探讨1870年至1950年英国设计和医学中使用颜色作为治疗剂或治疗剂的做法，有时被称为色彩疗法。这个项目将开始的曙光，科学调查如何颜色可以用于医疗设置在最后几十年的世纪。这一重点将转移到这些理论和实践的主流化和动员的方式，以治疗炮弹休克和神经衰弱期间，并在第一次世界大战后立即英国，其次是围绕色疗法在不同领域，如精神病学，肿瘤学，艺术治疗和医院设计在两次世界大战期间的讨论的加剧。该项目将结束与第二次世界大战后的色彩疗法的衰落，但将检查相互关联的想法，如色彩心理学和色彩在医疗空间的使用的持久影响。它将被证明如何这些争议，技术，以及各种努力，以确定颜色在治疗遇到的作用涵盖了更广泛的关注，包括如何情绪和病人的头脑是优先考虑在医疗环境中，艺术和设计的作用，在一个快速现代化，机械化的世界健康和福祉;以及关于色彩的情感力量的信念如何定义了对身体、大脑和情感的更广泛的诗歌、政治和科学理解。
