Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2008.

In the nineteenth century, collective displays of exuberant dancing were medicalized under the banner term "choreomania." Somewhere between a nervous disease and a hysterical form of pathological contagion, "Choreomania" was used to designate phenomena as disparate as the medieval Saint Vitus' dance, the Italian tarantella, the Convulsionaries of Saint-Medard in eighteenth-century France and the imanenjana in Madagascar. In "Choreomania," I trace the emergence of this diagnosis through the circulation of scientific information in Europe and the colonial world, as the rise of the social sciences merged with medicine to claim the frenzied dances a "national disease."
