Bruno Strasser and Thomas Schlich's book, The Mask: A History of Breathing Bad Air, traces the history of protective masks from the Great Plague to the present day. The richly illustrated volume highlights, through various case studies, the different medical, but also social and political functions that this object has served throughout the centuries.
In this 31st episode of Cliocast, Séveric Yersin discusses a number of compelling topics with Bruno Strasser, such as the decision to write for a general audience without compromising on scientific quality, the practice of experimental history, and why reusable masks disappeared in the 1960s.

In den 1970er Jahren entstand in der Schweiz eine soziale Bewegung, die sich gegen die restriktive Wende in der Asyl- und Migrationsfrage richtete. In seinem Buch über Asyl und Aktivismus im späten 20. Jahrhundert untersucht Jonathan Pärli die «andere Schweiz», eine innovative und international vernetzte Solidaritäts- und Protestbewegung.
In der neuen Cliocast-Folge spricht Alexandra Binnenkade mit Jonathan Pärli über dieses Buch. Sie diskutieren, wer zu dieser «anderen Schweiz» gehörte und wie die Rolle geflüchteter Menschen darin mit Ansätzen von Hannah Arendt und Jacques Rancière verstanden werden kann. Es geht auch um die handfesten Erfolge und um das Demokratieverständnis der Bewegung, die befürchtete, die Bedrohung demokratischer Rechte und Freiheiten würde schrittweise auf die gesamte Gesellschaft ausgeweitet werden.
