This book presents new perspectives on the multiplicity of voices in the histories of mental ill-health. In the thirty years since Roy Porter called on historians to lower their gaze so that they might better understand patient-doctor roles in the past, historians have sought to place the voices of previously silent, marginalised and disenfranchised individuals at the heart of their analyses. Today, the development of service-user groups and patient consultations have become an important feature of the debates and planning related to current approaches to prevention, care and treatment. This edited collection of interdisciplinary chapters offers new and innovative perspectives on mental health and illness in the past and covers a breadth of opinions, views, and interpretations from patients, practitioners, policy makers, family members and wider communities. Its chronology runs from the early modern period to the twenty-first century and includes international and transnational analyses from Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, drawing on a range of sources and methodologies including oral histories, material culture, and the built environment.Chapter 4 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Zeithistorische Experteninterviews aus drei unterschiedlichen DDR-Forschungsprojekten werden in diesem Band zusammengeführt. Diese Projekte der Jahre 1997 bis 2004, zum Zusammenhang von Aktivistenbewegung und Geschichtspropaganda, zur Entstehung und Ausformung einer sozialistischen wissenschaftlichen Geschichtsdidaktik und zur geheimen Geschichtsbewusstseinsforschung beim ZK der SED, haben Archiv- und Interviewforschung miteinander verbunden. Die Frage nach der Konstituierung einer spezifischen Praxis gibt allen Interviews einen gemeinsamen Horizont. Wie wird man zum Propagandisten einer Geschichtsideologie, die gleichsam über Nacht wirksam gemacht werden soll und sich dabei in Gegensatz zu bisherig und in engster Nachbarschaft dominierenden Geschichtsauffassungen setzt? Welche Voraussetzungen und begünstigenden Strukturen lassen sich erkennen? Wie gewinnt man kluge und kreative Menschen für diese Praxis und vermag deren Loyalität zu erhalten? Diese Fragen führen nicht nur in immer wieder aktuelle Konfliktsituationen in vielen Weltgegenden, in denen strukturell Ähnliches geschieht. Sie erklären in einem einzelnen Aspekt auch das Phänomen der zwar schwankenden, aber bis zum plötzlichen Kollaps doch relativ stabilen Diktatur, die sich nicht hinreichend nur mit polizeilicher Gewalt oder sowjetischer Besatzungsmacht erklären lässt.

Drawing on the work of scholars and practitioners such as Augusto Boal, Gloria Anzaldua, and Trinh Minh-ha, these essays advocate oral history and oral history-based performance as means to challenge and expand upon traditional ways of transmitting historical knowledge. The contributors' central concerns are performative aspects of oral history itself and the theatrical or classroom "re-performance" of oral history. The essays detail classroom and public pedagogies, community-based interventions, processes of developing interview-based performances, and the ethical and political implications of oral history as an embodied form of representation. The essays collected in this volume present the most current scholarship straddling the rich intersection between oral history and performance, and together suggest ways for scholars and performers to use oral history to challenge more traditional modes of knowledge.

Oral history brings the past to life through personal and plays an important role not only in the culture of remembrance. In dealing with aspects of contemporary history, methodological knowledge of oral history is becoming increasingly relevant. Written in clear language, this volume contains step-by-step instructions, detailed advice, checklists and exercises to help teachers convey the concept of oral history. It offers teachers a useful toolkit for teaching methodological grounding, practical skills and abilities, and highlights the social significance of oral history, its challenges and potential.

Bind II fortæller om den moderne verdens hårdhændede indtog i Odsherred. Tørlægningen af Lammefjorden, vige og søer gav store landindvindinger, men prisen var høj. Samspillet imellem landet og vandet gik tabt, og idylliske havnebyer blev vendt på vrangen. Landliggerne fandt i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet til Odsherred og kyststrækninger udlagdes med stor hast til landets største sommerhusområde. Den moderne verden vandt indpas med sejlruter, jernbaner og vejanlæg, med institutioner, industrier og turisme – og med stor foretagsomhed. Kunstnerne fandt her et refugium, først i Rørvigs særlige lys og siden i hele Odsherred. Om alt dette og meget mere beretter bogen.

The Seawomen of Iceland: Survival on the Edge er det første større studie af den fascinerende og hidtil nærmest anonyme gruppe af islandske kvinder, der har levet deres liv på havet. Bogen er baseret på omfattende historisk forskning og feltarbejde, herunder hundredvis af formelle og uformelle samtaler med islandske søkvinder, som har fisket fra 1950’erne frem til i dag. Disse kvinder har arbejdet på alle niveauer i havfiskeriindustrien, som alt fra skipper og ingeniør til matros og skibskok, i samtlige af landets sektorer og skibstonnager. Islands rige tradition for mundtlig overlevering rummer en masse storslåede historier om styrkvinder, der har roret i selv den højeste sø, om kvinder, der konsekvent lander den største fangst, om kvindelige kaptajner, der hyrer rent kvindelige besætninger, og om kvinder, der føder på havet eller øjeblikket efter, de når i land.Margaret Willson fokuserer på disse kvinders stemmer og lader deres livs realiteter og kompleksiteter skinne igennem deres faktiske oplevelser. Bogen er for alle med interesse i den unikke nation Island, fiskeri, eventyr, historier om havet og de mennesker, der lever på det, og ikke mindst hvad der sker, når kvinder arbejder i et mandsdomineret erhverv. Forfatteren samarbejdede i 2015 med Søfartsmuseet i Reykjavik om en udstilling, der dokumenterer de islandske søkvinders historie.Margaret Willson er ekstern lektor i antropologi og canadiske studier ved University of Washington.
