(in English): "Grabenbummel", a walk of the German Studentenverbindungen in couleur, was one of the most significant displays of a national war over Prague and its public space. Four times between 1898 and 1912 the "bummel" gave opportunity for unrest and riots in the city. Not only it became a political topic, a reason for conflicts between Czech and Germans in the media, Bohemian Diet and Imperial Council, but also a very serious problem for the state and its offices to solve. Based on Czech and German press and archive resources from Národní Archiv České republiky and Österreichisches Staatsarchiv, I am presenting the creation, evolution, and the politicization of the custom. I examined the four main years of the riots, finding multiple important topics, and analyzing some of them in the last chapter. I complemented the thesis with the poems from the press of the Burschenschaften, as well as Czech and German anecdotes and caricatures.

Before the regulation of opium as a “narcotic” in Sweden in 1923, opium was not regulated for its intoxicating properties and was freely available. But not in any kind of shop. Opium was legally available only through the pharmacies. This thesis explores how this free availability of a narcotic was understood by its traders, the pharmacists. The title of this thesis – The Value of Poison – indicates how opium could be conceptualized both as a safe, everyday remedy essential to keep freely available and as a drug of intoxication. As a poison it could be articulated as a matter of primarily pharmacological, not moral or medical, concern. This also gave the pharmacists, with their special knowledge of pharmaka (drugs, poisons), an autonomous space of knowledge free from the ever more intruding “medical gaze”. But, in order to articulate this kind of understanding of opium, another kind of knowledge was needed to be acknowledged: that of the user. In this articulation a “sensus communis” was tied in with a broader cultural knowledge of drugs. Problems with opium were focused on the danger of acute poisoning, not recreational intoxication. Concepts that could have problematized this kind of use were rearticulated as problems either of illegitimate trade, unregulated markets and advertising or of draconian regulation by greedy or sloppy doctors. These rather opposite elements were made equivalent through the articulation of ignorance in both cases, thus further emphasizing the special knowledge of the pharmacist. The thesis locates a process of contradiction that contributes to the eventual diminishing of the discourse of poison towards the end of the period. The pharmaceutical knowledge that guaranteed the discourse was based on a “pharmaceutical gaze” on pharmaka. It pierced through the drug to identify its constituent parts. In this process it was promised that the different effects of opium would be separated. “Narcotic” could be a by-product, to be discarded or controlled, without dispensing of other therapeutic effects. With this ever deeper knowledge of opium, knowledge in the pharmacies was made insufficient for the full understanding or opium, and so too was that of the traditional user. The era of opium as a poison was over. / Före den första särlagstiftningen om narkotika i Sverige 1923 reglerades inte opiumets rusgivande egenskaper. Drogen var fritt tillgänglig i handeln. Men inte i vilken butik som helst. Opium kunde bara köpas lagligt på landets apotek. Den här avhandlingen undersöker hur denna fria tillgänglighet av narkotika förstods av droghandlarna själva, apotekarna. Titeln pekar på hur opium på en och samma gång kunde tänkas som en säker husmedicin vars tillgänglighet var avgörande för folkhälsan och som en rusgivande drog. Som ”gift” artikulerades det som en i första hand farmakologisk angelägenhet, inte en moralisk eller medicinsk. När de talade på detta sätt upprättade apotekarna, genom sin särskilda kunskap om farmaka, ett eget rum för sitt vetande, fritt från läkarnas allt mer genomträngande ”kliniska blick”. Men för att kunna artikulera denna förståelse av opium krävdes också att en annan typ av kunskap vidkändes: brukarens. Genom denna artikulation knöts brukarnas ”sensus communis” samman med en bredare kulturell kunskap om droger. De av opiumets problem som lyftes fram handlade om akut förgiftning, inte rekreationellt rusbruk. De begrepp som hade varit möjliga att användas för att problematisera denna senare form av bruk reartikulerades: antingen förpassades de till den olagliga handeln, de oreglerade marknaderna och reklamen, eller också till de drakoniska regleringarna som giriga och slarviga läkare stod bakom. Apotekarna artikulerade dessa båda helt motstående element som ekvivalenta genom en brist på kunskap, vilket i sin tur ytterligare stärkte deras egen kunskapsmakt. Avhandlingen lokaliserar även en processande motsägelse som sker när giftets diskurs tynar bort vid slutet av den undersökta perioden. Den farmaceutiska kunskap som underbyggde diskursen vilade på en ”farmaceutisk blick” på farmaka. Denna genomborrade drogämnet för att avslöja dess beståndsdelar. Genom denna process utlovades att opiumets olika effekter skulle kunna skiljas från varandra. ”Narkotikan” kunde ses som en bieffekt, som kunde kastas åt sidan eller kontrolleras separat, utan att opiumets kvarvarande terapeutiska effekter minskade. Denna allt djupare kunskap medförde att de enskilda apotekarnas eget vetande på apoteken inte räckte till för att fullt ut förstå opium, och därmed bröts även samartikulationen med brukarnas kunskap. Tidseran när opium var ett gift tog därmed slut under mellankrigsperioden.

La these analyse la collection de terre cuite de Raffaele Gargiulo (1785-après 1864), céramiste et restaurateur affirmé, personnage de première importance du Musée de Naples, marchand napolitain d'antiquité des années 20 et 30 du XIXe siècle. La proposition de vente de sa collection au Musée de Naples est faite en décembre 1852. Après deux années de dures négociations le 29 mai 1855 la vente se conclut pour 6000 ducats. Pour comprendre le personnage de Gargiulo en tant que marchand d'oeuvre d'art, 315 documents, conservés dans l'Archive d'État de Naples et la Surintendance de Naples, ont èté analysés. L'étude de 11 arrêtés royaux entrés en vigueur entre 1807 et 1852, ont permis de reconstruire le cadre législatif en vigueur de l'époque. La petite plastique, la classe la plus nombreuse, représente environ les trois quarts de la collection de terre cuite. En ce qui concerne les provenances, les Pouilles et la Campanie sont largement dominantes avec 578 objets (95.54% de la collection entière): dans le détail on note que les localités se trouvant aux premières places sont aussi bien les Pouilles (Gnathia, Ruvo et Canosa) que la Campanie (Capoue et Calès), plus célèbres pour les fabrications coroplastiques. Le matériel architectonique va de la fin du VIe s. av. J.- C. au I Ier s. ap. J.-C., le matériel coroplastique se situe entre la moitié du IVe s. et la fin du IIIe s. av. J.-C., la céramique à décoration plastique et polychrome et celle achrome entre le IVe et le IIIe s. av. J.-C., alors que la chronologie des vases modelés va de la fin du VIe et le IIIe s. av. J.-C. Enfin, les lampes à huile sont toutes datées entre la première moitié et le dernier quart du Ier s. ap. J.-C. / The thesis analyzes the collection of terracottas of Raffaele Gargiulo (1785-after 1864), ceramist and restorer, leading figure of the Museum of Naples, neapolitan merchant of antiquity in the twenties and thirties of the 19th century. The proposed sale to the Museum of Naples of his collection is made in December 1852, but only after more than two years of hard deals it comes to the purchase on May 29th, 1855, for 6000 ducats. In order to understand the figure of Gargiulo as merchant of art 315 documents, kept in the State Archive of Naples and in the Historical Archive of the Archaeological Superintendence of Naples, have been analyzed. By the study of 11 royal decrees dated between 1807 and 1852 the legislative framework in force at the time was rebuilt, as part of the trade and export of archaeological and art objects. In the Gargiulo’s collection of terracottas the little plastic (443 specimens, 73.88%) is the most documented class, accounting for about three-quarters of the collection. About the provenances, Apulia and Campania with 578 items, the 95.54%, prevail. At the top lie the towns, both in Apulia (Gnathia, Ruvo and Canosa) and Campania (Capua and Cales), most famous for the coroplastic products. If the architectural material is dated from the end of the 6th century BC to 1st century AD, the coroplastic material lies mostly between the mid-4th century BC and the end of the 3rd BC. The pottery ranges between the 4th century and 3rd century BC, especially the plastic and polychrome decoration and the achromatic ceramic; the chronology of plastic vessels is more varied, between the late 6th and 3rd centuries BC. The lamps, finally, are dated to 1st century AD. / La tesi analizza la collezione di terrecotte di Raffaele Gargiulo (1785-post 1864), ceramista e restauratore affermato, figura di primo piano del Museo di Napoli, grande mercante napoletano di antichità degli anni Venti e Trenta dell'Ottocento. La proposta di vendita al Museo di Napoli della sua collezione viene fatta nel dicembre del 1852, ma dopo oltre due anni si giunge all'acquisto, il 29 maggio 1855, per seimila ducati. Per inquadrare la figura del Gargiulo come mercante di opere d'arte sono stati analizzati 315 documenti custoditi nell'Archivio di Stato di Napoli e nell'Archivio Storico della Soprintendenza Archeologica di Napoli. Attraverso lo studio di 11 regi decreti tra il 1807 e il 1852 si è ricostruito il quadro legislativo in vigore all'epoca nell'ambito del commercio e dell'esportazione di reperti archeologici e oggetti d'arte. Nella collezione Gargiulo di terrecotte la piccola plastica (443 esemplari, pari al 73.88%) è la classe più documentata, rappresentando circa i tre quarti della collezione. Tra le provenienze prevalgono la Puglia e la Campania con 578 oggetti, il 95.54%. Ai primi posti si collocano le località, sia pugliesi (Egnazia, Ruvo e Canosa) che campane (Capua e Cales), più celebri per i prodotti coroplastici. Se il materiale architettonico va dalla fine del VI a.C. al I d.C., quello coroplastico si colloca per lo più tra la metà del IV e la fine del III a.C. La ceramica spazia tra il IV e il III secolo a.C., soprattutto per la ceramica a decorazione plastica e policroma e per quella acroma, più varia è la cronologia dei vasi plastici, tra la fine del VI e il III a.C. Le lucerne, infine, si datano nell'ambito del I secolo d.C.
