Vom Nobelpreis für die Schilddrüsenoperation zur Osteosynthese als weltweit praktizierter Technik: Die Chirurgie in der Schweiz der letzten einhundert Jahre kann als Erfolgsgeschichte gelesen werden. Der Sammelband zum 100-Jahr-Jubiläum der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Chirurgie geht tiefer und analysiert in vier medizinhistorischen Detailstudien die Hintergründe von medizinischen Erfolgen und organisatorischen Herausforderungen. Einige Reflexionen beleuchten zudem die heutige Chirurgie von der Ökonomisierung bis zur neueren Sakralisierung des von Chirurgen behandelten Körpers. Beiträge aus der chirurgischen Praxis skizzieren technisch-therapeutische Trends dieses Faches von der Organtransplantation bis zur «Schlüsselloch-Chirurgie».

The nineteenth century uncovered and analysed the tragic episodes of witch-hunting and ‘witch’ trials common in Renaissance Europe. Fascinating not only to historians, this subject also inspired men of letters who popularized the image of the witch as an old, ugly and evil person, who thus deserved her lot. Jules Michelet’s La sorcière of 1862 takes a very different approach. Simultaneously a literary and historical work, the book proved scandalous as it rehabilitated the figure of the witch, shedding favourable light on her image: it was the witch who was able to save a last spark of humanity in moments of despair; it was she who acted as comforter and healer to the people. In the context of nineteenth-century literature, certain works by female authors that focused on ‘witches,’ stand out. Whilst certain male authors (Michelet included) presented the witch as a figure from the past, who had finally perished in the 17th century, texts such as George Sand’s La petite Fadette (1848) or Eliza Orzeszkowa’s Dziurdziowie (1885), suggest that the end of witch trials did not imply an end to accusations, persecutions, and even executions of ‘witches’ – and, that in terms of culture, witchcraft or sorcery had not disappeared from the societies they knew.
