Description

Product Description The volume discusses the social and cultural history of public health and its influence on state and nation building in East and Southeast Europe, which evolved with the 19th century and stretched throughout the 20th century, including the Cold War period. The national case studies include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czechoslovakia, the GDR, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia, making an original contribution to the debate on the intertwined relationship between health, medicine and state and nation building. The authors challenge the idea of different paths to modernity and late modernity of Europe's western (liberal) and eastern (communist) countries, arguing that--through the perspective of public health--the history of the region stands emblematic for the European history from the late 19th century onwards. The studies explore close links between an evolving professionalizing elite and its understanding and use of scientificprofessional knowledge on the one hand, and the modern state on the other, which in a very ambivalent way makes use of medical knowledge as a political tool for its own advancement. Close reading and dense description of the case studies on public health will contribute to a better understanding of the genuinely European patterns of public health in the state and nation building era of the last two centuries. Review Obwohl öffentliche Gesundheitsfürsorge einen wesentlichen Bestandteil des nation building im Prozess der Modernisierung, Nationalisierung und Institutionalisierung von Staaten darstellt, beschränkte sich die historische Forschung bisher vornehmlich auf den anglo-amerikanischen und westeuropäischen Teil der Welt. Wie in vielen anderen Bereichen auch wurden ostmittel- und südosteuropäische Staaten, ohnehin mit dem Stigma der Rückständigkeit belegt, kaum in die Analysen einbezogen. Die Herausgeberinnen des vorliegenden Bandes halten sich indessen nicht lange mit Klagen über diese Schieflage auf, sondern formulieren die weitreichende Hypothese: 'with our focus on public health, we argue that the paths to twentieth-century modern and late modern statehoods were, in fact, not so different between the East' and the West' of Europe.' Die methodische und thematische Vielfalt, die nicht mit Beliebigkeit verwechselt werden darf, macht diesen Sammelband zu einer sehr empfehlenswerten Lektüre. Denn er resümiert nicht nur den Forschungsstand, sondern bietet sorgsam herausgearbeitete Antworten und darüber hinaus mannigfaltige Anknüpfungspunkte für zukünftige innovative Forschungen, die die komparativen und Transferhistorischen Potentiale der vorgestellten Ansätze noch weiter ausschöpfen.--Bohemia La colección de doce trabajos reunidos por Karge, Kind-Kovács y Bernasconi en torno a la sanidad de los siglos XIX y en el sureste de Europa se presenta muy correctamente, encabezada por una introducción, firmada por los editores, a la que siguen doce capítulos separados en tres apartados por orden cronológico, una bibliografía reunida, lista de autores e índice de materias. La impresión es elegante, los márgenes cómodos y el texto se puede seguir bien. El libro se lee con agrado, los casos son interesantes y variados temáticamente y están bien abordados, aunque hay lógicas diferencias en una autoría tan amplia. Por destacar alguno, me inclino por el especialmente ingenioso capítulo sobre las matronas, firmado por una de las editoras, Sara Bernasconi, que es una muestra excelente del llamado material turn en la historiografía de la ciencia.--Dynamis This collection of in-depth studies on public health concepts and practices across the changing political climate of Eastern Europe's 20th century provides a rich and sophisticated representation of the latest work in the field. The volume is evenly balanced in its assessment of imperial, interwar, postwar(s), socialist, and post-socialist practices. The brilliance of it presentation lies in its surprising and somet
