Medicina e Potere Maccaccaro’s series digitised
Thanks to the support of Memory of the World and the Pirate Care collective, the series Medicina e Potere, published by #Feltrinelli and curated by Giulio #Maccacaro, is now available online. It comprises thirty-two volumes, published between 1972 and 1983 by Italian and international authors. These books sparked transformative debates in Italy that remain crucial today.
I collected these volumes during the pandemic, tracking them down at market stalls and through online sellers, driven by the urgency to put them back into circulation and reactivate a critical debate on healthcare, health systems, and different models of care. The collection offers a precious—albeit partial—cross-section of the discussions that developed around these issues in the 1970s, tracing a profound movement of thought and practice that led to crucial transformations in institutional design and eco-social landscapes. It is a trajectory that deserves to be revisited and updated, rather than continually starting from scratch.
