Trotz eines »Memory-Booms« scheint eine linke »Geschichte von unten« verschüttet zu sein. Dominieren seit 1989 Verfallsgeschichten und eine »linke Melancholie« oder entfaltet sich in der Erinnerung an das Gewesene ein Möglichkeitsdenken, das auch die Zukunft neu zu perspektivieren vermag? Sebastian Schweer analysiert engagierte deutschsprachige Erinnerungsromane, in denen die Arbeiter*innen- und Bewegungsgeschichte archiviert, kritisiert, reflektiert und weitergesponnen wird. Der Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Romanform, Erinnerung und dem Status utopischen Denkens folgend behandelt er Sujets wie Hausbesetzung, Terrorismus, das Erbe der DDR oder sozialistische Kybernetik.

This edited volume offers the first comprehensive historical overview of the Belgian medical field in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its chapters develop narratives that go beyond traditional representations of medicine in national overviews, which have focused mostly on stateprofession interactions. Instead, the chapters bring more complex histories of health, care and citizenship. These new histories explore the relation between medicine and a variety of sociopolitical and cultural views and realities, treating themes such as gender, religion, disability, media, colonialism, education and social activism. The novelty of the book lies in its thorough attention to the (too often little studied) second half of the twentieth century and to the multiplicity of actors, places and media involved in the medical field. In assembling a variety of new scholarship, the book also makes a contribution to ‘decentring’ the European historiography of medicine by adding the perspective of a particular country Belgium to the literature.
