Abstract

In the past, our ideas of psychiatric hospitals and their history have been shaped by objects like straitjackets, cribs, and binding belts. These powerful objects were often used as a synonym for psychiatry and the way psychiatric patients were treated, yet very little is known about the agency of these objects and their appropriation by staff and patients. By focusing on material cultures, this book offers a new perspective on the history of psychiatry: it enables a narrative in which practicing psychiatry is part of a complex entanglement in which power is constantly negotiated. Scholars from different academic disciplines show how this material-based approach opens up new perspectives on the agency and imagination of men and women inside psychiatry. O-Ton: »Krankenbetten und Dauerbäder« - Zeitsprung-Extra mit Monika Ankele über Psychiatriegeschichte am 13.10.2020.

Abstract

"This popular text has a "how to" and "here's what you need to do approach" to ethnographic research, taking the mystery out of the research process and making ethnography accessible to students. The author's applied background influences his discussion of ethnography from the first step to last. This text benefits from the inclusion of interesting examples from David M. Fetterman's experience that help novice researchers understand the concepts being addressed. The Fourth Edition includes new examples from the author's work; more on use of new digital tools; expanded discussions of culture, contextualization, emic and etic distinctions, and symbols; updated sections on theory; and Questions for Reflection at the end of each chapter"--
