Thematic issues of Contributions to Recent History on the Road

Summary/Abstract: The Political History Research Program Group has prepared three basic studies on the fight against AIDS in Slovenia (and Yugoslavia). The Economic and Social Program Group contributed a set of three examples of dealing with diseases in the Slovenian (and Yugoslav) historical space: the Spanish flu, malaria and occupational diseases. Placing AIDS in the context of these diseases has a strong comparative potential. Although the two sets have different perspectives - the authors use political history concepts in the AIDS section and the socio-historical and anthropological perspectives on other diseases - the same fundamental questions can be found in the background: How does society deal with diseases? What mechanisms does it use? When does the disease ignore and when does it engage? When is solidarity and when is discrimination? What role does science play? What about the state? What is her role?
