  • History Society Trip to Prague and Vienna, 2018
    History Society trip to Prague and Vienna, 2018 As one of the Trip Officers for the Edinburgh University History Society, Student Ambassador Carmen was responsible for organising a trip to Budapest and Vienna for 40 society members during Innovative Learning Week. While we were only away for 5 days, it felt like ages because we did so much in both cities! – Carmen Day 1: Monday, 19th of February Our flight to Budapest was extremely early – but this meant we got there really early too, giving us plenty of time to get our bearings! While the sky was blue, it was freezing cold as we walked around streets on the Pest side of the city, taking in the amazing views of Liberty Square & Parliament Square. After giving everyone a few hours to have dinner (and a nap after a long day of travelling!), we met up again to see the iconic Hungarian Parliament building light up at night. Here, we were able to get a big group photo, before running off to take some night shots of the stunning view over the River Danube! Day 2: Tuesday, 20th of February On our second day, we walked along the Széchenyi Chain Bridge (covered in snow!) to go across the Danube to Buda Castle. Using our trusty Budapest Cards, we were able to get a free Castle bus that took us outside the building – a lifesaver considering it was a very uphill walk! Some of our group were lucky enough to see the changing of the guard at the Sándor Palace, the residence of the Hungarian President.

Slovakia Abstract: Since the end of the 19th century, the modernisation processes of urbanisation and industrialisation taking place in Europe and the transatlantic regions have changed not only the natural environment but also social and geographical relations. The emergence of modern states changed the traditional societies, lifestyles and private lives of individuals and social groups. It is also characteristic of this period that social reform movements appeared in large numbers – as a «counterweight» to unprecedented, rapid and profound changes. Some of these movements sought to achieve the necessary changes with the help of individual self-reform. Life reform in the narrower sense refers to this type of reform movement. New historical pedagogical research shows that in the major school concepts of reform pedagogy a relatively close connection with life reform is discernible. Reform pedagogy is linked to life reform – and vice versa. Numerous sociotopes of life reform had their own schools, because how better to contribute than through education to the ideal reproduction and continuity of one’s own group.

It challenged people unequivocally to change their ways, and was a declaration of discontent with the pre- vailing state of affairs and a warning of dangers to come. In the late 19th century it was the way in which advocates of Leb- ensreform expressed their unease at increasing industrialisa- tion, mechanisation and urbanisation, and their malaise at the accelerated pace of daily life and the globalisation of the world. Later these concerns expanded to include unhappiness at the growth-driven consumer society, and anxiety about environ- mental pollution and climate change. What did not change was the sense of crisis, which for some led to predictions of disas- ter and a feeling that the end of the world was nigh, but which mainly encouraged people to search for the ideal life, and an improvement in their own lifestyles.

  • Naturheilbewegung, Vegetarismus, Lebensreform
    19 Das magisch anziehende Dreieck: Naturheilbewegung, Vegetarismus, Lebensreform Was verstand man im 19. Jahrhundert unter »Naturheilung«? Unter »Naturheilung« verstand man eine holistisch-vitalistische Gesundheitslehre von der Überwindung aller Krankheiten durch die dem Menschen innewohnende »Lebenskraft«. Die Naturheiler wollten die im Verwissenschaftlichungsprozess des 19. Jahrhunderts beiseite gedrängte humoralpathologische Harmonielehre und Di- ätetik mit ihren Naturheilverfahren als Gesamtlebensphilosophie wieder aufwerten. Lediglich Pflanzen, Pflanzenteile und Pflanzen- produkte in roher, frischer oder getrockneter Form oder natürliche Mineralien waren als Heilmittel bei den Anwendungen erlaubt. Ihre von der Antike übernommene, ganzheitliche Krankheitsvorstellung umfasste die Therapie des Leibes und der Seele. Deshalb fanden sich in zahlreichen naturheilkundlichen Gesundheitsführern auch Diät- vorschläge für ein besseres seelisches Wohlbefinden.1 Gesundheit wurde als Harmoniezustand von Körper, Geist und Seele aufgefasst, während Krankheit Disharmonie als Ergebnis einer »unnatürlichen« Lebensweise bedeutete. Eine naturgemäße Ernährungsweise bildete dabei den Kern- aspekt. Darunter wurde meist eine vegetarische Diät aus Obst, Knol- 20 Entwicklungsstränge der modernen Diätkost len-, Wurzel-, Blattgemüse, Samen, Nüssen und frischem Wasser verstanden. Eine Vielzahl an Krankheiten wurde auf eine fehlerhafte Ernährung zurückgeführt. So esse der Mensch zum Beispiel drei- mal so viel Fleisch, wie er eigentlich benötige.2 Zudem mache eine
