    Content: "In inter-war Sweden, the psychiatric diagnosis of psychopathy served as a controversial but powerful tool for the management of people who failed to live up to contemporary civic ideals. The diagnosis was based on theories of a broad spectrum of biologically-based disorders in the borderland between normality and actual mental illness. The disturbances were assumed to manifest themselves as, for example, homosexuality, hysterical attacks, emotional coldness, mythomania, or restlessness.Another controversial diagnosis was paranoia querulans or querulous paranoia, a disease that was linked to the emergence of the modern state and its rule of law, and thought to manifest itself mainly in hyperbolic complaints against supposed wrongdoings. Thus, the disorder implicated an excessive use of one's civil rights. A particular dilemma related to this disease was that the kind of behaviour that had usually led to the diagnosis and subsequent psychiatric confinement, namely a ardent manner of writing letters to public authorities, was precisely what was required for discharge.In De samhällsbesvärliga (The Social Troublemakers), historian of science and ideas Annika Berg examines how patients described as psychopaths or querulants could negotiate for discharge with doctors and authorities in 1930s and 40s Sweden. This was a period in time when the system of psychiatric care in Sweden was greatly expanded in answer to a perceived shortage, but was also transformed into a somewhat more open apparatus with possibilities to apply for preliminary discharge and other forms of outpatient solutions. It was also a time when psychiatry was under attack from different quarters, and psychiatrists were accused of using flexible diagnoses such as psychopathy to confine people wrongly. Against this backdrop, how did the management of psychopaths and querulants fit with contemporary ideals of citizenship and democracy? How did the patients view themselves? And how were negotiations in individual cases affected by notions of, for example, class, gender and sexuality?"

    Content: Discutir as múltiplas relações do Brasil com os países hispano-americanos é o objetivo deste volume. O Brasil situa-se em um contexto latino-americano que é constituído por uma rede de intercâmbios diversificada, que curiosamente tende a passar desapercebida. O presente volume pretende contribuir para a reflexão desta dinâmica intercultural a partir de uma proposta interdisciplinar. As Américas do Sul são discutidas, assim, através de uma variedade de enfoques que envolvem as seguintes áreas: crítica literária e cinematográfica, filosofia, ciências sociais e políticas, antropologia, história e teologia. Gegenstand des vorliegenden Bandes ist die Untersuchung der mannigfaltigen Beziehungen Brasiliens zu den hispanoamerikanischen Nachbar-Ländern. Der lateinamerikanische Kontext, in den Brasilien eingebettet ist, wird durch ein verschiedenartiges Netz bi- und multilateraler Beziehungen bestimmt, welches bisher in der Forschung wenig Beachtung gefunden hat. Der Band versteht sich als Beitrag zur Reflexion der interkulturellen Dynamik dieser Beziehungen. Die Interdisziplinarität der Beiträge ist weitgespannt. Sie umfaßt neben Ansätzen aus dem Bereich der Literatur- und Filmwissenschaft, der Philosophie, den Sozial- und Politikwissenschaften auch solche aus dem Bereich der Anthropologie, der Geschichte und der Theologie.
    Content: This volume is devoted to an examination of the vast range of relations existing between Brazil and its Hispano-American neighbours. The Latin American context in which Brazil is embedded is determined by a multifarious network of bi- and multi-lateral relations that has been given little attention by scholars so far. The volume sets out to make a contribution to a closer engagement with the intercultural dynamics informing those relations. The cross-disciplinary aspect is very marked. Alongside articles from representatives of literary and film studies, philosophy, and the social and political sciences, there are also studies illuminating theological, historical, and anthropological aspects.
