Hardback. Condition: New. Public interest in art created by people suffering from mental illnesses has been growing in recent years, while the topic is still relatively exotic in the academic world. In a unique research project at Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK, art works produced around 1900 by patients in mental asylums and hospitals in Switzerland have been recorded, documented, and examined. Their authors worked on many of them for long periods, always with dedication, and often revealing remarkable technical and artistic prowess. They saw their art as a contribution to public life, as their own invention and expression of their ideas, but also as an act to compensate for the dull life at, and criticism of, the institutions they were being treated. This field of art, and of art history, is subject to the dynamics of academic standards and, consequently, of inclusions and exclusions. This new book, featuring a manifold selection of previously unpublished art works, questions our contemporary understanding of art, making the reader revisit his or her own concept of what constitutes art and to engage with these artists and their work.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Viele psychiatrische Kliniken in der Schweiz beherbergen einen Fundus an historischen Fotografien, die bis ins 19. Jahrhundert zurückreichen und die bis anhin noch nie untersucht wurden. Glasdiapositive und -negative, lose Papierabzüge und Fotoalben gewähren faszinierende Einblicke in die Zeit der Modernisierung dieser Einrichtungen - und zugleich in die Geschichte der Fotografie. Das damals neue Medium wurde von Psychiaterinnen und Psychiatern eingesetzt, um Diagnosen anhand von Merkmalen zu erfassen, aber auch, um der Öffentlichkeit das Leben hinter Anstaltsmauern näherzubringen. Mit zunehmend handlicheren Kameras konnten auch die bescheidenen Freizeitaktivitäten, Festivitäten und kreativen Freiräume festgehalten werden. Das Buch Hinter Mauern und die gleichnamige Ausstellung in der Sammlung Prinzhorn (Heidelberg), im Thurgauer Kunstmuseum (Warth) und im Schweizerischen Psychiatrie-Museum (Bern) machen diese Zeitzeugnisse nun erstmals der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln untersuchen die Autorinnen und Autoren kritisch die Verwendungszwecke des Mediums Fotografie in der Psychiatrie. 132 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Broschur. Condition: Wie neu. 127 S. : Ill. ; 23 cm. Ungelesen - Die Schneiderin Anna Z. verfasste 1916 in der Pflegeanstalt Rheinau eine packende Lebensbeschreibung. Diese gewährt Einblicke in das unstete Leben einer Frau, die versuchte, berufliche Passion, Unabhängigkeit und Heirat, Liebe, Sexualität und Mutterschaft zu vereinen. Der Bericht gibt zudem Aufschluss über das komplexe Konstrukt «Wahrheit» im Leben einer Anstaltspatientin, einer Insassin des «Irrenhauses». Anna Z. (18641938) war das elfte von sechzehn Geschwistern. Ihre Mutter starb, als sie klein war, und von da an sorgte die älteste Schwester Berta für die Geschwisterschar. In der Schule fiel Anna Z. durch ihre Wildheit auf und wurde deshalb für vier Jahre in ein Erziehungsheim gesteckt. Sie absolvierte eine Schneiderinnenlehre und heiratete jung einen wohlhabenden Bauern. In der neuen Umgebung fiel sie auf, weil sie oft allein mit Pferd und Wagen unterwegs war. Wegen eines Scheckbetrugs wurde Anna Z. verhaftet; danach fühlte sie sich verändert, reiste «planlos» umher und quartierte sich in Hotels ein unter falschem Namen. Ihre erneute Verhaftung führte 1904 zur Einweisung in die psychiatrische Klinik Burghölzli, von wo sie nach einem Jahr als «unheilbar» in die Pflegeanstalt Rheinau «spediert» wurde. Hier verfasste Anna Z. in den Jahren 1915/16 ihre packende Lebensbeschreibung. In der Anstalt verlebte sie, wenn sie zur Strafe isoliert oder zu den «unruhigen» Frauen verlegt wurde, schlimme Zeiten. Wenn sie jedoch ein eigenes Zimmer hatte und für die Anstaltsschneiderei und auf eigene Rechnung für die Wärterinnen nähen konnte, fühlte sie sich nicht unwohl. Dennoch blieb es stets ihr Ziel, wieder ein selbständiges Leben zu führen. Mehrmals verbrachte sie kurze oder längere Zeit bei ihrer Schwester in «Familienpflege», wo sie als Störschneiderin arbeitete. Dabei wurden ihr einmal ein Zirkusbesuch, ein andermal ihre Verlobung mit einem Mitarbeiter der Anstalt zum Verhängnis. - Inhalt: 1.Heft: Kindheit und Schneiderinnenlehre -- Ehejahre und ein Betrug -- In Untersuchungshaft -- Die Auswirkungen der Haft -- Im Burghölzli - Tod des Vaters -- In der Pflegeanstalt Rheinau -- 2 .
