Forged by fire: burns injury and identity in Britain, c.1800-2000
British tragedies involving burns and scalds have been seen on an individual and collective level for the past 200 years. Burns remain a visually unique, sensually assaulting and emotionally overwhelming injury. With significant effects on mobility, the self and identity, burns exact a psychological as well as a physical toll on the individual. This project will explore how burns have shaped individual, urban and group identity. In the 19th century, the mortality rate for burn injuries was 50 per cent. In the first half of the 20th century, about 20 to 30 per cent of burned and scalded people annually were hospitalised and 2 per cent of those, half of whom were children, died. Today, burns injuries make up about 175,000 of all A&E visits, but only about 10 per cent of those result in hospitalisations, and 300 people die. There has been little done around prevention. While burns incidents have influenced the professionalisation of ambulance and fire services, little is known about their roles in coordinating life-saving treatment. By considering the ways in which burns knowledge is disseminated through history – literature, the media, court records and so on – the team aims to make a sustained difference to prevention strategies, potentially feeding through to national policy.
