Vitenskap og varme hender
Forholdet mellom vitenskapelig og alternativ medisin skaper kontrovers. Selv om folkelige behandlere som Snåsamannen blir møtt med skepsis fra vitenskapelig hold, tyr mange til alternative terapier. I spørsmål om helse, sykdom og død har menneskene alltid brukt tilgjengelige ressurser og strategier ut fra egne kulturelle og historiske forutsetninger. I denne boken diskuteres folks valg på den medisinske markedsplassen fra 1800-tallet til i dag. Kunnskap om samspillet mellom sektorene på markedsplassen åpner for nye forståelser av det som skjer i dagens helsesystem. Kulturforsker Bente Gullveig Alver (AHKR, Universitetet i Bergen) har arbeidet med folkelig forestillingsverden og rituelt liv. Kulturforsker Tove Ingebjørg Fjell (AHKR, Universitetet i Bergen) har arbeidet med fødsel, barnløshet, vaksinering og donasjon av genetisk materiale. Historiker Teemu Ryymin (Uni Rokkansenteret) har i tillegg til helse- og medisinhistorie arbeidet med minoritetshistorie og historisk teori.
Transforming Medical Education
In recent decades, researchers have studied the cultures of medicine and the ways in which context and identity shape both individual experiences and structural barriers in medical education. The essays in this collection offer new insights into the deep histories of these processes, across time and around the globe. Transforming Medical Education compiles twenty-one historical case studies that foreground processes of learning, teaching, and defining medical communities in educational contexts. The chapters are organized around the themes of knowledge transmission, social justice, identity, pedagogy, and the surprising affinities between medical and historical practice. By juxtaposing origi...
Finland’s Great Famine, 1856-68
This book will provide a thematic overview of one of European history’s most devastating famines, the Great Finnish Famine of the 1860s. In 1868, the nadir of several years of worsening economic conditions, 137,000 people (approximately 8% of the Finnish population) perished as the result of hunger and disease. The attitudes and policies enacted by Finland’s devolved administration tended to follow European norms, and therefore were often similar to the “colonial” practices seen in other famines at the time. What is distinctive about this catastrophe in a mid-nineteenth-century context, is that despite Finland being a part of the Russian Empire, it was largely responsible for its own governance, and indeed was developing its economic, political and cultural autonomy at the time of the famine. Finland’s Great Famine 1856-68 examines key themes such as the use of emergency foods, domestic and overseas charity, vagrancy and crime, emergency relief works, and emigration.

Terveyshistoria
This book deals with approaches, sources, and methods in health history from the middle ages to the twentieth century. Individual chapters demonstrate how historians of medicine and health choose their methodological approaches and form interpretations from primary sources. They discuss the practices of writing and show how obstacles in the research process can be overcome. Practical examples of source materials, used methods and research challenges give tools to students for carrying out projects independently and help them to understand different possibilities in the field of health history. In this book, history of health includes but is not limited to medical science. Emphasising medical pluralism, it places (public) health in a cultural and social field encompassing official and unofficial practitioners, medical institutions, and patients. Individual case studies highlight themes in Finnish, European, and African history.

Vox regis: Royal Communication in High Medieval Norway
In Vox regis: Royal Communication in High Medieval Norway, David Brégaint examines how the Norwegian monarchy gradually managed to infiltrate Norwegian society through the development of a communicative system during the High Middle Ages, from c. 1150 to c. 1300. Drawing on sagas, didactic literature, charters, and laws, the book demonstrates how the Norwegian kings increasingly played a key -role in the promotion of royal ideology in society through rituals and the written word. In particular, the book stresses the interaction between secular and clerical culture, the role of the Church and of the Norwegian aristocracy
