Crafting deep time
This article explores how scientists in experimental geology craft deep time. Scientists experimented with geological time from 1788 to present-day high-pressure geology, and employed strategies to understand and communicate their research. In their labs, the formation of rocks or the uplift and erosion of mountains, events that take eons in nature, occur in a matter of hours or minutes-such unsettling yet spectacular experiences offered new poss…
Naturvergessenheit
English Abstract: This paper follows the narrative of humanity's forgetfulness of nature (Naturvergessenheit) and its consequences. Max Horkheimer’s and Theodor W. Adorno’s Dialectic of the Enlightenment serves as a starting and end point for a reflection on historical constellations of body concepts, human societies, and nature. These body concepts have been negotiated as nervous bodies since the 18th century and have repeatedly put a lost whole…
The European Perspective on Pandemics
This review essay explores the potential of a European perspective on the history of epidemics and pandemics over the last three centuries. To this end, it follows Benoît Majerus’ proposal to distinguish four different “European” perspectives on the history of medicine. Europe is simultaneously an imaginary, geographical, imperial, and integrative space. As an imaginary space (1), “European” ideas about pandemics reveal a specific conception of p…
Covid-19 und seine Umwelt

Medizingeschichte wird gegenwärtig mit wenigen Ausnahmen als Geschichte der Humanmedizin geschrieben. COVID-19 und andere zoonotische Infektionskrankheiten legen allerdings nahe, Medizingeschichte grundsätzlich ökologischer zu denken und nicht-menschliche Akteur*innen sowie verschiedene „Umwelten“ miteinzubeziehen. Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutier…
