„Der Erste Weltkrieg mit seinen modernen Waffensystemen verursachte au\u00dfer einer nie dagewesenen Anzahl toter und k\u00f6rperlich versehrter Soldaten ein psychiatrisches Krankheitsbild, das zeitgen\u00f6ssische \u00c4rzte und Milit\u00e4rbefehlshaber vor ganz neue Herausforderungen stellte. Die epidemisch sich unter den Truppen ausbreitende Kriegsneurose mit einer Vielzahl k\u00f6rperlicher Symptome war in die Nosologie der bekannten Geisteskrankheiten kaum einzuordnen. Letztendlich waren es die Nerven, die den Soldaten versagten. Als Chiffre und Konstrukt verhandeln \u201eNerven\u201c systemimmanente Identit\u00e4ten, Auffassungen und Relevanzen. Um ein m\u00f6glichst breites thematisches Spektrum abzudecken, hatten die Organisatoren der Tagung einen soziokulturellen Kontext gew\u00e4hlt, der die theoretischen Grundlagen des zeitgen\u00f6ssischen Nervendiskurses und seine Folgen in der Praxis zwischen 1900 und 1933 nicht nur im Feld der Medizin ausleuchtete, sondern auch milit\u00e4rische und politische Entscheidungstr\u00e4ger, Filmemacher und Literaten einbezog. In sechs Panels zeichneten 20 Historiker aus Deutschland, Irland, Gro\u00dfbritannien und den USA ein facettenreiches und vielschichtiges Bild der Nervenproblematik vom Ersten Weltkrieg \u00fcber die Weimarer Republik bis hin zum Nationalsozialismus.“ Mehr lesen Sie im Tagungsbericht: Nerven und Krieg.

Conference report in\u00a0H-Net: Humanities & Social Sciences Online, 23.01. 2018<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The report<\/a><\/strong> was also published on H-Madness<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0 a forum for researchers in the humanities and social sciences,\u00a0interested in the history of madness, mental illness and their treatment (including the history of psychiatry, psychotherapy, and clinical psychology and social work).<\/p>\n

„Nerves and War. Experiences of Psychological Mobilisation and Suffering in Germany 1900-1933 was the main theme of the international conference held by historians Gundula Gahlen, Bj\u00f6rn Hofmeister, Christoph N\u00fcbel and Deniza Petrova at the Free University from 12 to 13 October 2017. The event was supported by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Free University of Berlin and Middlebury College, USA. Around 21 researchers from Germany, Ireland, Britain and the USA attended the conference. As\u00a0Gundula Gahlen (Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin)<\/strong>\u00a0emphasised in her introduction, the focus lay on contemporary discourses on the theme of nerves and war in the context of the First World War in the German Empire. She introduced the contemporary discourse on nerves as a central category for investigation against the backdrop of the changing understandings of doctors and researchers in the early neurological and psychiatric disciplines at the beginning of the war. \u201cNerves\u201d should be negotiated as a cipher for identities, views and relevances that are systemic. In addition, nerves were considered to be a central mobilisation resource for the war and an endurance test in war. In order to make the most comprehensive statements possible with the cipher, the main focus of the conference lay not only on medicine and psychiatry, but rather located the theme in the broad socio-cultural context of military, political and social groups and individuals.<\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of the First World War\u2019s new dimensions of violence, the\u00a0keynote speaker Bernd Ulrich<\/strong>\u00a0outlined the significance of the nerves of traumatised soldiers as well as of the \u201chome front\u201d for warfare. The initial starting point was the nerves of the generals, which also failed at the start and the finish: the nervous breakdowns of General Moltke the Younger and General Ludendorff marked the beginning and end of the First World War. Ulrich classified the breakdowns of the generality as part of the respective commencement and disintegration of wartime society. This wartime society illustrated the special performance requirements of modernity and the psychological price which was to be paid for them, as well as the rapidly changing understanding surrounding how these effects of the war should be treated. The speedy restoration of the ability to perform was required, using drastic methods if necessary.“ For more see: Conference report „Nerves and War.
