Set Up

The first magnetic recorder, the telegraphone, was invented in 1898 in Denmark. Despite favorable publicity and considerable investment, the telegraphone was a commercial failure. This article uses the theoretical concept of “frames of meaning” to explain that failure, focusing on three factors in particular: Denmark's status as a technologically peripheral country, the telephone orientation of the telegraphone's inventors, and management failures by the firm set up to manufacture the machine.

The Impact

This paper analyzes the impact of the hegemonic paradigm of global mental health (GMH) on Portugal. We specifically argue that GMH in Portugal has effected a change of priorities in health policies, favoring the prevention and treatment of common mental disorders to the detriment of the deinstitutionalizing process. Diffused through the media, this model has negative effects, such as the medicalization of social suffering, the reorganization of mental health policy areas according to utilitarian criteria, and the risk of greater invisibility of users with serious psychiatric diagnoses. However, the GMH approach, bringing to the frontline the impact of all social policies on mental health, represents a new opportunity to politically address social suffering. Characterized as a semi-peripheral country, Portugal may be representative of observable trends in similar countries.

North Norway

This chapter discusses the development of Norway - like Scotland, a small, peripheral country - into an economically efficient and relatively egalitarian nation. A comparison is drawn between the subsistence economy in Rural North Norway and the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and the effects of industrialisation and consequent urbanisation in both countries. It considers the effects of land ownership in Scotland where the pre-industrial subsistence system was largely destroyed, and contrasts it with the relative attractiveness of subsistence farming in Norway and the opportunities for farm ownership and pluriactivity available to the rural populace, which was denied to their Scottish counterparts. Various important factors which contributed to the existence of equable pay levels for rural and urban employment in Norway are also touched upon in the Chapter.
