Methodius of Olympus: de Lepra

Der Sammelband untersucht den "Text", den "Prätext" und "Kontexte" von Methodius' Schrift De lepra aus dem 3./4. Jahrhundert. Darin wird der im alttestamentlichen Buch Levitikus (Lev 13) geschilderte Aussatz christlich-allegorisch ausgelegt. Nach der Untersuchung der griechisch-slavischen Überlieferungsgeschichte des Textes und einer Analyse der darin vorliegenden Intertextualitäten widmet sich der Band Methodius' Prätext, i.e. Levitikus 13 in der Fassung der Septuaginta. Daraufhin werden verschiedene Kontexte von Methodius' De lepra in den Blick genommen: die rabbinische Rezeption von Lev 13, die medizinhistorischen Hintergründe des vielgestaltigen "Aussatzes" in der Spätantike und die Realien der spätantiken Textilherstellung, sowie die Methodius-Rezeption in der Spätantike und im Mittelalter anhand der Methodius zugeschriebenen Apokalypse des Pseudo-Methodius. Abgeschlossen wird der Band mit einem Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion um die Editionspraxis antiker Texte im 21. Jahrhundert zwischen Wissenschaft und Verlagswesen. Der Sammelband ergänzt den parallel erscheinenden Editionsband (Nr.##) und soll so dem besseren inhaltlichen Verständnis von De lepra dienen.

Medizintäter

Wie keine andere Berufsgruppe waren Mediziner in die nationalsozialistische Rassen- und Vernichtungspolitik involviert. So beteiligten sich Ärzte als Kliniker, Wissenschaftler und Gutachter an Zwangssterilisationen, Krankenmorden (NS-"Euthanasie") und Menschenversuchen in den Konzentrationslagern. Ärzte wirkten aktiv und fast ausnahmslos freiwillig mit am Holocaust und am Völkermord an Sinti und Roma. Im Zentrum des Bandes steht die Frage, wie Ärzte und auch Ärztinnen im "Dritten Reich" zu Tätern wurden. Thematisiert wird zudem die bis heute reichende Rezeptionsgeschichte dieser unheilvollen Geschehnisse. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes verwenden mentalitäts-, kultur- und ideengeschichtliche Ansätze; hinzu kommen sozialpsychologische Deutungsversuche und (gruppen)biografische Analysen.

Being Alone in Antiquity

This volume aims to provide an interdisciplinary examination of various facets of being alone in Greco-Roman antiquity. Its focus is on solitude, social isolation and misanthropy, and the differing perceptions and experiences of and varying meanings and connotations attributed to them in the ancient world. Individual chapters examine a range of ancient contexts in which problems of solitude, loneliness, isolation and seclusion arose and were discussed, and in doing so shed light on some of humankind’s fundamental needs, fears and values.

Recognizing the Past in the Present

Following decades of silence about the involvement of doctors, medical researchers and other health professionals in the Holocaust and other National Socialist (Nazi) crimes, scholars in recent years have produced a growing body of research that reveals the pervasive extent of that complicity. This interdisciplinary collection of studies presents documentation of the critical role medicine played in realizing the policies of Hitler’s regime. It traces the history of Nazi medicine from its roots in the racial theories of the 1920s, through its manifestations during the Nazi period, on to legacies and continuities from the postwar years to the present.

This transnational, interdisciplinary study of traumatic neurosis moves beyond the existing histories of medical theory, welfare, and symptomatology. The essays explore the personal traumas of soldiers and civilians in the wake of the First World War; they also discuss how memory and representations of trauma are transmitted between patients, doctors and families across generations. The book argues that so far the traumatic effects of the war have been substantially underestimated. Trauma was shaped by gender, politics, and personality. To uncover the varied forms of trauma ignored by medical and political authorities, this volume draws on diverse sources, such as family archives and narratives by children of traumatized men, documents from film and photography, memoirs by soldiers and civilians. This innovative study challenges us to re-examine our approach to the complex psychological effects of the First World War.

Greater Than the Parts

The history of orthodox biomedicine in the twentieth century is usually depicted as one of icreasing reductionism and dependence on laboratory sciences and technology. Holism today is commonly regarded as an alternative to regular healing and a reaction to it. In fact, in the interwar years, clinicians and basic scientists in Europe and North America responded to what they perceived as the increasing reductionism, routinizing and mechanization of the biomedical sciences and clinical practice by creating holistic models of the body's activities and models of healing based the whole, individual sufferer. Holistic responses were also visible in public health and epidemiology. The essays collected here explore this previously neglected area. They show how the holistic turn in orthodox medicine in the interwar years was a reaction to the scietific reductionism and the specialization and division of labor and medicine. In addition, all show how this movement was part of a more general response to modernity itself, political, idealogical and cultural upheaval of the years between the war
