From the Midwife's Bag to the Patient's File
This volume offers an analysis of the intertwined relationship between public health and the biopolitical dimensions of state- and nation building in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. It challenges the idea of diverging paths towards modernity of Europe’s western and eastern countries by not only identifying ideas, discourses and practices of “solving” public health issues that were shared among political regimes in the region; it also uncovers the ways in which, since the late nineteenth century, the biopolitical organization of the state both originated from and shaped an emerging common European framework. The broad range of local case studies stretches from Bosnia and Herze...
How the Clinic Made Gender
An eye-opening exploration of the medical origins of gender in modern US history. Today, a world without “gender” is hard to imagine. Gender is at the center of contentious political and social debates, shapes policy decisions, and informs our everyday lives. Its formulation, however, is lesser known: Gender was first used in clinical practice. This book tells the story of the invention of gender in American medicine, detailing how it was shaped by mid-twentieth-century American notions of culture, personality, and social engineering. Sandra Eder shows how the concept of gender transformed from a pragmatic tool in the sex assignment of children with intersex traits in the 1950s to an ess...
Framing China
Framing China sheds new light on Western relations with and perceptions of China in the first half of the twentieth century. In this ground-breaking book, Ariane Knüsel examines how China was portrayed in political debates and the media in Britain, the USA and Switzerland between 1900 and 1950. By focusing on the political, economic, cultural and social context that led to the construction of the particular images of China in each country, the author demonstrates that national interests, anxieties and issues influenced the way China was framed and resulted in different portrayals of China in each country. The author’s meticulous analysis of a vast amount of newspaper and magazine articles...

Die Berner Zahnmedizin 1921-2021
Mit der Angliederung des Zahnärztlichen Instituts an die Universität Bern im Jahr 1921 begann ein langes Ringen um die Stellung des Fachs innerhalb der Hochschule und der Medizinischen Fakultät. Hundert Jahre später ist die Zahnmedizin ein renommierter Bestandteil des Medizinstandorts. Fünf Kliniken haben das alte Institut abgelöst. Weshalb aber entstand die neue Hochschuleinheit ausgerechnet 1921, als die Gründung vergleichbarer Einrichtungen in Genf und Zürich schon Jahrzehnte zurücklag? Niklaus Ingold schildert, wie ein Streit um das Behandlungsmonopol im Mund während des Ersten Weltkriegs eskalierte, worauf die Schweizer Zahnärzteschaft eine neue Ausbildungsstätte in Bern unt...

Brilliant Modernism
Illuminates how the power of light shaped early twentieth-century art, culture, and poetry. In Brilliant Modernism, Nicoletta Asciuto takes readers on a journey through the electrified streets of the early twentieth century and explores the influence of this illumination on modernist poetry. This ambitious and geographically wide-ranging account of how poets responded to the changing cityscape is distinctive in its historicist approach and the enormous scope of the materials it examines, from Mina Loy's lamps for the modern home to lunar photography. As the glow of gas lamps gave way to the piercing beams of the new era, poets navigated a world where light dictated social standing, gender ro...
Make Metal Small Again
Metalbands stehen auf gewaltigen Bühnen, vor Verstärkertürmen und Tausenden wilder Fans. Sie trinken kübelweise Bier, rauschen in Tourbussen durch die Nacht und besingen Sex, Drogen und den Tod. Ihr größtes Ziel: Wacken. Alle Metalbands? Nein! Eine kleine Metalband tingelt seit zwei Jahrzehnten über Dorffeste, Vereinsfeiern, Hochzeiten, Vernissagen und durch Geburtstagspartys. Sie hat keine Verstärker, keine Plattenfirma. Sie liefert annähernd CO2-neutralen Metal wie Pizza auf Bestellung und hätte einmal beinahe Angela Merkel beschallt. Sie singt nur übers Wetter und spielt im Sitzen, gediegen gekleidet und teetrinkend. Sie richtet sich gleichermaßen an Bildungsbürger, Mutbürger, Spießbürger. Ihr Name: Malmzeit. Ihr Genre: Kammermetal. Ihr Motto: Make Metal Small Again! Tauchen Sie ein in die völlig irre Bandbiographie der kleinsten Metalband der Welt, verfasst von den Musikern selbst. Ein Buch voller bizarrer Ereignisse, das komplett erfunden sein könnte, wäre nicht jedes Wort wahr!
