Tollkirschen und Quarantäne
"Spanische Grippe", so hieß die verheerendste Grippe- Epidemie der Moderne (300. 000 Tote im Deutschen Reich, bis zu 50 Millionen weltweit) – und zwar, weil als einer der Ersten der spanische König an ihr erkrankte. Während die Schulen im Deutschen Reich und in Frankreich geschlossen und von der Südsee bis Afrika Quarantänen verhängt wurden, versuchten Ärzte weltweit vergeblich, dem Erreger auf die Spur zu kommen. Aderlässe und Blutegel kamen zu neuen Ehren, Heidelberger Pathologen sezierten violett und schwarz verfärbte Leichen mit blutroten Lungen (Tuberkulosekranke wie Franz Kafka traf die Grippe besonders hart), ein bulgarischer Naturheiler braute aus Tollkirschen ein Wundermittel gegen die Kopfgrippe. Und dann gab es auch damals schon infizierte Schweine und Vögel – in einem neuen Vorwort zu dieser Taschenbuchausgabe arbeitet Wilfried Witte weitere Parallelen zwischen den Grippewellen am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts sowie der Schweinegrippe zu Beginn unseres Jahrhunderts heraus.

Belonging without Othering
The root of all inequality is the process of othering – and its solution is the practice of belonging We all yearn for connection and community, but we live in a time when calls for further division along the well-wrought lines of religion, race, ethnicity, caste, and sexuality are pervasive. This ubiquitous yet elusive problem feeds on fears – created, inherited – of the "other." While the much-touted diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are undeniably failing, and activists narrowly focus on specific and sometimes conflicting communities, Belonging without Othering prescribes a new approach that encourages us to turn toward one another in unprecedented and radical ways. The p...
