This article examines medical discourse surrounding the first animal-to-human blood transfusion performed in 1667 by the French physician Jean-Baptiste Denis. During this period, new physiologies interacted with Galenic medicine in various social milieus that shaped discourse over the body. Although the practice of transfusion was based in contemporary theories of circulation, the therapeutic rationale for transfusion largely appealed to Galenic humouralism. This case reveals how social and intellectual contexts engendered an eclectic corporality, which integrated contemporary natural philosophy within a framework of medical Galenism. Medical discourse from this episode suggests a pluralistic conception of the body--a body that was broadly humoural but included accretions from new physiologies.
本文探讨了围绕1667年法国医生让 - 巴蒂斯特·丹尼斯进行的首例动物到人类输血的医学论述。在这一时期，新的生理学理论在不同的社会环境中与盖伦医学相互作用，这些社会环境塑造了关于身体的论述。尽管输血实践基于当代的血液循环理论，但输血的治疗原理在很大程度上借鉴了盖伦的体液学说。这个案例揭示了社会和知识背景如何产生了一种折衷的肉体观念，即将当代自然哲学融入医学盖伦主义的框架之中。这一事件中的医学论述暗示了一种多元的身体观念——一个大体上基于体液学说但融入了新生理学元素的身体。
