"The midlife crisis has become a cliché in modern society. Since the mid-twentieth century, the term has been used to explain infidelity in middle-aged men, disillusionment with personal achievements, the pain and sadness associated with separation and divorce, and the fear of approaching death. This book provides a meticulously researched account of the social and cultural conditions in which middle-aged men and women began to re-evaluate their hopes and dreams, reassess their relationships, and seek new forms of identity and fresh pathways to self-satisfaction. Drawing on a rich seam of literary, medical, media and cinematic sources, as well as personal accounts, it explores how the crises of middle-aged men and women were shaped by increased life expectancy, changing family structures, shifting patterns of work, and the rise of individualism."--Amazon.com.

Practices, perceptions, and representations of pregnancy and childbirth across regions and through history. This volume of contributions from international scholars offers a cross-cultural and multi-period analysis of pregnancy and childbirth traditions in Western and Middle Eastern cultures. The studies focus on the ideas, practices, and visual representations surrounding pregnancy and birth-giving from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance and offer the reader the possibility of observing the perception, representation, and theoretic paradigm of these events in a wide range of cultural contexts. The collection fits within multiple traditions of specialized scholarship, yet its scope suggests a geographically global approach and a new, multicultural methodology that encompasses a wide range of practices, historical periods, and topics. On one hand, it participates in the well-established medical, historical, and iconographic discourse on childbirth and family that has enticed much interest over the last two decades; on the other, its unique thematic structure includes cultures and periods previously ignored in similar collections of essays. The articles span from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and India, and connect the experience of childbirth to the exchanges of knowledge, religious beliefs, and social practices. With its variety of topics and specializations, the volume encourages a global comparative approach to the cultural narrative surrounding the activities and attitudes connected to conception and birth, paying particular attention to material culture, religion, history, and iconography, as well as to the exchange and dispersion of medical knowledge

Lou is twaalf, Eva zesendertig, Elsie tweeënveertig, Casper zesenveertig, en Jos eenenzeventig. Vijf mensen, met elkaar verbonden, vertellen hun verhaal. Over onverwacht geluk dat de dingen moeilijk maakt, over geheimen die te groot lijken, over de complexe kunst van het jong zijn, over obstakels die bergen worden, amper te beklimmen, over blijven proberen, tot waar geen mens meer verder kan. In Vele hemels boven de zevende vechten vijf uiteenlopende figuren meer met zichzelf dan met elkaar in dit bestaan dat belachelijk mooi en geweldig lastig is, allemaal tegelijk. Griet Op de Beeck heeft een indrukwekkend debuut geschreven. Met prachtige zinnen en oorspronkelijke observaties creëert ze niet alleen een stel intrigerende personages, maar schetst ze ook een treffend beeld van deze tijd. Vele hemels boven de zevende is een veelstemmige roman, die je onmogelijk vrijblijvend kunt lezen. Geestig, pijnlijk en ontregelend herkenbaar.
