This commentary provides a glimpse into a conceptual history approach to the topic of public health. I focus primarily on the history of public health during the first half of the 20th century. I will also reflect on its entanglement with the social sciences in later times. The first two sections discuss three core elements of the concept of public health: the "public" or collective that the term refers to, "health", and finally, "public health" as "health of a collective". These elements are historical and political concepts, which means that they do not have a fixed definition, but need to be placed in their historical and political contexts. In the final section, I discuss some connections between social science and public health during the 20th century. © 2018, © The Author(s) 2018. ; This commentary provides a glimpse into a conceptual history approach to the topic of public health.

Since the 1960s, a specific stream of literature in the field of social welfare has been concerned with the phenomenon of non-take-up, i.e. people who are entitled to social benefits but do not receive them. This issue of non-take-up is becoming increasingly salient and reaching policy agendas, including in Switzerland. It questions both the conditions of access to social benefits and their adequacy or even legitimacy when some people prefer not to claim their rights. What does non-take-up say about the aims of social policies and the way they are perceived by concerned people? What does it say about the underlying norms of those policies and the ways these norms are incorporated or contested by (potential) beneficiaries? What does it say about the public service and its capacity to reach its communities and support them? This special issue starts with an introduction to the topic of non-take-up of health and social benefits, focusing more specifically on the case of Switzerland. Building on this state of the art, the agenda is further developed to explore what non-take-up of social benefits says about the reconfiguration of the relationship between citizens and the state. The five authors of the special issues contribute to this new research agenda in three different ways: by emphasizing the temporal dimension of non-take-up; by supporting a view of recipients as capable and critical actors; and by arguing for a systemic and relational approach to non-take-up. ; Seit den 1960er Jahren befasst sich eine spezifische Literaturströmung der Soziologie des Wohlfahrtsstaates mit dem Phänomen des Nichtbezuges, d.h. mit Menschen, die Anspruch auf Sozialleistungen haben, diese aber nicht erhalten. In den letzten Jahren gewann diese Thematik zunehmend an Aufmerksamkeit und erreicht die politische Agenda, auch in der Schweiz. Wenn einige Menschen es vorziehen, ihre Rechte nicht in Anspruch zu nehmen, stellt es sowohl die Bedingungen für den Zugang zu Sozialleistungen als auch deren angemessene Ausgestaltung oder gar deren ...
