A population problem represented by the declining birth rate came to the focus of experts’ and politicians’ attention in interwar Czechoslovakia. Significant activities concerning the decrease in quantity and alleged population quality were pursued within the broad spectrum of experts who questioned the nation's future. Drawing from the concept of biopolitics, this article demonstrates through the analysis of medical discourse how medical professionals and social workers together with counseling bureaux, foregrounded the idea of a healthy family, primarily inspired by a (pseudo)science of eugenics, in order to maintain appropriate quantitative and qualitative population development. This article aims to expand the body of knowledge on experts’ attitudes toward demographic trends in interwar Czechoslovakia and to draw attention to two types of counseling bureaux and their role in reproductive policy. While the idea of eugenic premarital bureaux was explicitly linked to the eugenic movement that aimed at discouraging the reproduction of people identified as inferior, the role of counseling bureaux for mothers and children regarding family planning and reproduction remains overshadowed by their mission of medico-social care for children.

Pro-German family and health policies were, at their core, anti-Polish measures that cleared the path for later racially determined politics. The sources demonstrate how these policies were justified and how their character developed from protective to invasive. Therefore, I examine first protective discourses about the fight against venereal diseases, then analyze supportive regulations such as the midwifery policies and the later invasive measures like sterilizations. Although these seem to be different topics, I show that the German “people's family” (Volksfamilie) and its significance for the health of the German “people's body” (Volkskörper) is always implied. Using a close-reading approach that considers newspaper articles, administrative and private files, I show the extent to which national and nationalist beliefs interfered with the everyday life of citizens. The text thus scrutinizes unpublished sources regarding the strategic importance of families in German biopolitics and its interpretation in the conflicted border region of Upper Silesia. In 1921, a plebiscite was held to decide on the division of the region. This intensified conflicts between Germany and Poland, which had just gained independence in 1918. I argue that the unstable position of the new emerged country was instrumentalized in German discourses to underline the image of the disorganized and underdeveloped East.

Two recent volumes from Canada ’ s leading scholarly presses represent the possible futures of rural history as practiced in Canada: Edward J. Hedican, After the Famine. The Irish Family Farm in Eastern Ontario, 1851 – 1881 and Catherine Anne Wilson, Being Neighbours. Cooperative Work and Rural Culture, 1830 – 1960 . Each has implications both direct and indirect for the way that the fi eld of family history deals with central Canadian culture as it moved swiftly from being virtually a contact culture to a fully articulated and dominant capitalistic European society. Yet, when placed side by side, the most recent works of these two scholars could almost come from different planets. The authors have a good deal in common and this needs to be pointed out. A brief discussion on their commonalities is useful, for it forms a plinth that makes it easier to see the dimensions of their divergence. Each author has previously done signi fi cant historical work. E. J. Hedican, a historical ethnogra-pher with a special interest in the Canadian north, published The Ogoki River Guides: Emergent Leadership among the Northern Ojibwa (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 1986), a monograph on Ogoki River Guides among the Ojibwa and an expansion and revision of his 1978 McGill University doctoral thesis. He subsequently wrote three books of memoir and of methodological re fl ection. C. A. Wilson, previous to her present volume, published two works that relate to the usually ignored practice of tenancy as one of the tactics adopted in the early stages of New World settlement. Wilson ’ s Tenants in Time: Family Strategies, Land, and Liberalism in Upper Canada, 1799 – 1871 (McGill-Queen ’ s University Press, 2009) is a historiographical depth charge. It is a strong argument for recognizing that the alleged North-American pattern of quick acquisition of free-hold farms in the settlement period was not universal; indeed, it may not even have been predomi-nant.

加拿大主要学术出版社最近出版的两本书代表了加拿大乡村历史的可能未来：爱德华·J·赫迪肯，《饥荒之后》。安大略省东部的爱尔兰家庭农场，1851-1881年，凯瑟琳·安妮·威尔逊，《成为邻居》。合作工作与农村文化，1830-1960年。每一种都对家族史领域处理加拿大中部文化的方式产生了直接和间接的影响，因为它迅速从一种几乎接触的文化转变为一个完全阐明和占主导地位的资本主义欧洲社会。然而，如果放在一起，这两位学者的最新作品几乎可能来自不同的行星。两位作者有很多共同点，这一点需要指出。对它们的共性进行简短的讨论是有用的，因为它形成了一个底座，可以更容易地看到它们分歧的大小。每一位作者以前都做过重要的历史工作。E.J.Hedican是一位对加拿大北部特别感兴趣的历史民族学者，他出版了《奥戈基河向导：奥吉布瓦北部的新兴领导力》（Wilfrid Laurier University Press，1986），这是一本关于奥吉布瓦奥戈基河向导的专著，也是他1978年麦吉尔大学博士论文的扩充和修订。随后，他写了三本回忆录和方法论反思书。C.A.Wilson在她的本卷之前出版了两部作品，讲述了新世界定居早期所采用的一种策略，即通常被忽视的租赁做法。威尔逊的《时间中的租户：1799-1871年上加拿大的家庭策略、土地和自由主义》（麦吉尔女王大学出版社，2009年）是一本历史深度读物。这是一个有力的论据，可以承认所谓的北美在定居期间迅速收购自由农场的模式并不普遍；事实上，它甚至可能还没有占主导地位。这一论点仍未完全融入十九世纪美国和加拿大的社会和经济史。它的出版使威尔逊跻身于新农村的领导者之列

Providing the conceptional framework of the special issue and discussing its main hypotheses, the introductory article points out that extraordinary vivid discourses on birth control in journalism emerged during East Central Europe's interwar period. They fought for more liberal attitudes towards birth control, but were combined with a peculiar emphasis on the nation, since they were more intensively colored by and integrated in nationalizing discourses. Thus, they became an essential part of the question of how the society should like, so that they were only partly a reflection of female self-empowerment. Thus, birth control as a core method of family planning at that time had become an issue of national survival.

This study deals with the intersections but also the unrelenting tension between the Catholic Church und politics and efforts to regulate society through eugenics in order to heal it in the context of the establishment of the Slovak state between 1938 and 1941, which was based on a specific conception of traditional family. In the first step, the discourse of the national revolution in the period of Slovak autonomy at the turn of 1938 and 1939 is analyzed, with emphasis on the requirement of “national health” through measures of so-called positive eugenics. Subsequently, the article examines the efforts to institutionalize this discourse in the context of the establishment of a museum of hygiene according to the German model. Finally, it outlines the impact of this context on the preparation and implementation of the anti-interruption law on “fetal protection” of 1941.

In the territories of the Russian Empire populated by the Latvians, the years of the First World War (1914–1918) and the ensuing Latvian War of Independence (1918–1920) witnessed a significant transformation in the discourse on family planning and birth control. Because men were mobilized, there was a marked fall in the number of registered marriages, which meant that women had only a slim chance of marrying and planning a family. The nation's ideologues faced a challenge: how to restrain Latvian women from marriages and casual relationships with soldiers of the multi-ethnic Russian army and the occupying German army, who had been stationed in the Latvian-populated provinces since 1915, these having been separated by the battlefront. Women's demographic behavior was changing, with sexual life beginning before marriage, giving rise to a phenomenon of casual liaisons. Latvian nationalists, seeking to prevent such casual relationships in the name of the future they imagined for their people, promoted sexual restraint, which became at this time one of the strategies of the nation-building process. This article examines the wartime possibilities for marriage and the family planning associated with it and investigates the discourse of the propaganda of sexual restraint that was maintained and developed by Latvian nationalists, looking at their assessment of the situation and the principles they formulated for the appropriate (non-) use of sexuality, which in that context acted as a birth control instrument. The article looks at the role of abortion as a traditional means of birth control, and how the wartime conditions affected the number of children born outside of marriage. The research is based mainly on analyses of press materials, statistical data, and archival documents.

The article outlines the developments in the national concept of family planning with particular reference to the female agents of healthcare and social policy measures from the turn of the century up to 1944. After the lost war and the shattering Treaty of Trianon in 1920, Hungary found itself in a deepening demographic crisis. High infant mortality and criminal abortion rates, the deficiency of graduate midwives, and the one-child system in the south-western part of the country concerned both politicians and intellectuals. The paper aims at connecting the medical, political, and social discourses based on archival and press sources on family planning by analyzing the role and agency of different women's organizations. I argue that state social policy measures and aid actions of the church and civic organizations and associations principally assigned two types of roles to women. On the one hand, they were active participants and agents, on the other hand, they were passive subjects and beneficiaries of social assistance activities. Furthermore, the article highlights the role of medical professionals (doctors, midwives, nurses) intersecting with the role of women as active agents in the execution of social policy measures. By integrating documents on family planning such as journal articles, political speeches and criminal abortion data into the national and political discourses, the article claims that women have often played contradictory roles in the process of family planning. Midwives and nurses who served as gatekeepers either helped women by providing access to birth control and abortion or complied with the regulations of the pro-natalist state, depriving women of choice.

Finding out about misattributed parentage experiences often leads to identity shock and new medical histories. Many individuals learn about new genetic family members through direct-to-consumer DNA tests. These individuals’ relationships with their raising families are often upended, while new ones are formed with biological families. The paper reports findings from a survey of 605 individuals from Facebook misattributed parentage experience (MPE) support groups broken down into three communities (Adoptees, Assisted Conception, Nonpaternal Event (NPE), and Rape/Assault (a subgroup of NPE)). Findings reveal significant differences among MPE communities in terms of relationships with raising and newly discovered biological families, medical histories, identity impacts, attitudes, and resource use.
