Cholera was the emblematic disease of the nineteenth-century Europe. This article explores the cultural ramifications of cholera by concentrating on the ways in which public discourse participated in circulating information on the disease. It focuses on the reuse of texts about cholera in the Finnish press from 1860 to 1920. The most difficult cholera epidemics in Finland were the first ones in the 1830s and 1850s, and the number of casualties dropped significantly towards the end of the century. At the same time, however, cholera was discussed more than ever, and there was the rising curve of the references to cholera from the 1860s onwards. In Finland, the public discourse on cholera was also entangled with the rising nationalism towards the end of the nineteenth century.

霍乱是 19 世纪欧洲的标志性疾病。本文通过关注公众话语参与疾病信息传播的方式，探讨了霍乱的文化影响。它侧重于 1860 年至 1920 年间芬兰媒体对霍乱文本的再利用。芬兰最严重的霍乱疫情是在 1830 年代和 1850 年代首次爆发，到本世纪末伤亡人数大幅下降。然而，与此同时，霍乱的讨论比以往任何时候都多，从 1860 年代开始，霍乱的提及曲线呈上升趋势。在芬兰，关于霍乱的公共讨论也与 19 世纪末日益高涨的民族主义纠缠在一起。
