Sommario/riassunto

Der Band befasst sich mit den epigraphischen Kulturen der hochmittelalterlichen Kommunen Italiens und deren Verhältnis zu



vorangegangenen Inschriftenkulturen der Antike und des Frühmittelalters. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Frage nach Kontinuitäten und Brüchen sowie dem Einfluss des antiken epigraphischen Erbes auf die mittelalterliche Inschriftenpraxis der Städte. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze fügen sich in eine Tendenz der jüngeren Mittelalterforschung ein, die stärker als zuvor die materielle, topologische und praxeologische Dimension öffentlich ausgestellter Inschriften fokussiert.

The volume examines the epigraphic cultures of Italian communes during the High Middle Ages and their relationship to earlier epigraphic cultures in antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. It focuses especially on the question of continuity and breaks and the influence of the ancient epigraphic heritage on Medieval epigraphic practice in the cities.

Sommario/riassunto

In 1973, San Francisco allergist Ben Feingold created an uproar by claiming that synthetic food additives triggered hyperactivity, then the most commonly diagnosed childhood disorder in the United States. He contended that the epidemic should not be treated with drugs such as Ritalin but, instead, with a food additive-free diet. Parents and the media considered his treatment, the Feingold diet, a compelling alternative. Physicians, however, were skeptical and designed dozens of trials to challenge the idea. The resulting medical opinion was that the diet did not work and it was rejected. Matthew Smith asserts that those scientific conclusions were, in fact, flawed. An Alternative History of Hyperactivity explores the origins of the Feingold diet, revealing why it became so popular, and the ways in which physicians, parents, and the public made decisions about whether it was a valid treatment for hyperactivity. Arguing that the fate of Feingold's therapy depended more on cultural, economic, and political factors than on the scientific protocols designed to test it, Smith suggests the lessons learned can help resolve medical controversies more effectively.
