Abstract: Cholera reached the gates of Vienna in August 1831 and continued to afflict the east and south of the Austrian monarchy with varying intensity until 1837. The first advisory books were published in the fall of 1831 and addressed the emotions triggered by the new epidemic and, in the centuries-old tradition of dietetics for body and soul, problematized the dangerous effects of fear and terror for the healthy and the sick. Against this backdrop, this article explores the role and significance attributed to emotions in the nursing and treatment of cholera patients during the first wave. How, for example, were fear, repulsion, and disgust thematized and evaluated in the course of the perception of crisis and disaster? How was it possible to lay hands on the sick (or dead) body, and how were feelings of fear or disgust suppressed in the process of care? In order to explore such questions, the article connects with new research that argues for a combination of sensory and emotional-historical approaches. The findings may also contribute to a discussion of perceived emotionalities and sensory experiences in the face of ordered/ overwhelming caregiving relationships during the current pandemic.
