Abstract

The history of family and households has been the subject of intensive research for over a generation. In the 1970s Peter Laslett and others set the agenda with a strong emphasis on geographical differences between northern and southern, eastern and western Europe. Others have challenged this view, pioneering different approaches. This volume takes stock of the field, focussing particularly on family history in South-East Europe in comparison with the rest of Europe. The authors consider what European families have in common, their regional and local differences and changes over time, using the rich and fascinating variety of sources and methods used by family historians today. Contributors include: Guido Alfani, Judit Ambrus, Mirjana V. Bobić, Siegfried Gruber, Peter Guzowski, Violetta Hionidou, Daniela Lombardi, Beatrice Moring, Silvia Sovič, Pat Thane, Alice Velková, Marta Verginella, and Pier Paolo Viazzo.

Abstract

Das Handbuch verbindet zwei Ziele. Erstens geht es um die interdisziplinär von aktuellen Debatten in den Sozial- und den Kulturwissenschaften angeregte Neukonzeptualisierung der Kategorie ‚Haus‘. Zweitens wird dem Publikum ein europäisches Panorama der Forschung im Hinblick auf Haus, Haushalt und Häuslichkeit in seinen historischen Dimensionen vorgelegt. Dies geschieht notwendigerweise ausschnitthaft, d.h. durch Konzentration auf ausgewählte und maßgebliche Aspekte. The Handbook illustrates a new interdisciplinary conceptualization of the category “house” as evoked by current discussions in the social sciences and humanities. In addition, it offers readers a panorama of European research related to the historical dimensions of house, household, and domesticity.

Abstract

Medizinisch-technische Errungenschaften des 20. Jahrhunderts, wie beispielsweise die Erfindung des Latex-Präservativs (1930), die Einführung der Anti-Baby-Pille (1961) auf dem freien Markt und die Geburt des ersten durch In-vitro-Fertilisation gezeugten Kindes (1978) führten in Europa und den USA dazu, dass das Planen, Zeugen und Machen von Kinder zunehmend Gegenstand individueller und gesellschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen wurde. Vor dem Hintergrund umfassender politischer, ökonomischer und kultureller Transformationen musste dabei das Verhältnis zwischen Machbarem, Wünschenswertem und Erlaubtem gesellschaftlich immer wieder neu ausgehandelt werden. Der vorliegende Band untersucht in acht Beiträgen, wie sich im 20. Jahrhundert das Denken, Reden und Handeln im Hinblick auf Kinder und Familienplanung veränderte. In einer international vergleichenden Perspektive wird dabei insbesondere der diesen Entwicklungen zugrunde liegende Wertewandel in den Blick genommen.

Abstract

James Casey offers an innovative study of prestige, power and the role of the family in a Mediterranean city during the early modern period. He focuses on the structure and values of the ruling class of Granada, where a new elite consolidated its authority. The study suggests that their power was linked to the pursuit of honour, which demanded participation in the politics of the commonwealth and depended greatly on the network of personal relations which they were able to build with kinsmen, clients and patrons. It explores the way in which this system contributed to the relative tranquillity of the community during a turbulent time of religious and political change, that of the rise of absolutism and of the Counter Reformation. The book sheds fresh light on the nature of the early modern family and will be essential reading for historians of early modern Spain and Europe.

Abstract

Earlier theses on the history of childhood can now be laid to rest and a fundamental paradigm shift initiated, as there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that in medieval and early modern times too there were close emotional relations between parents and children. The contributors to this volume demonstrate conclusively on the one hand how intensively parents concerned themselves with their children in the pre-modern era, and on the other which social, political and religious conditions shaped these relationships. These studies in emotional history demonstrate how easy it is for a subjective choice of sources, coupled with faulty interpretations - caused mainly by modern prejudices toward the Middle Ages in particular - to lead to the view that in the past children were regarded as small adults. The contributors demonstrate convincingly that intense feelings - admittedly often different in nature - shaped the relationship between adults and children. Frühere Thesen zur Kindheitsgeschichte können mittlerweile zu den Akten gelegt werden, denn die Masse der Beweise dafür, dass auch im Mittelalter und in der Frühneuzeit enge emotionale Beziehungen zwischen Eltern und Kindern bestanden, erweist sich als erdrückend und ermöglicht einen fundamentalen Paradigmenwechsel. Die Beiträger zu diesem Band weisen einerseits zwingend nach, wie intensiv Eltern in der Vormoderne sich um ihre Kinder gekümmert haben, andererseits führen sie auch vor Augen, welche sozialen, politischen und religiösen Bedingungen diese Beziehungen gestalteten. Diese emotionsgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen demonstrieren, wie leicht eine subjektive Quellenauswahl und Fehlinterpretationen, meist bedingt durch moderne Vorurteile besonders gegen das Mittelalter, zu der Meinung führen können, dass Kinder in der Vergangenheit als kleine Erwachsene angesehen wurden. Die Beiträger weisen überzeugend nach, dass intensive, wenngleich oftmals anders gelagerte Gefühle das Verhältnis zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern prägten.

Abstract

This multi-disciplinary collection brings together work by scholars from Britain, America and Canada on the popular, personal and institutional histories of pregnancy. It follows the process of reproduction from conception and contraception, to birth and parenthood. The contributors explore several key themes: narratives of pregnancy and birth, the patient-consumer, and literary representations of childbearing. This book explores how these issues have been constructed, represented and experienced in a range of geographical locations from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Crossing the boundary between the pre-modern and modern worlds, the chapters reveal the continuities, similarities and differences in understanding a process that is often, in the popular mind-set, considered to be fundamental and unchanging.

Abstract

In the antebellum South, divorce was an explosive issue. As one lawmaker put it, divorce was to be viewed as a form of ""madness,"" and as another asserted, divorce reduced communities to the ""lowest ebb of degeneracy."" How was it that in this climate, the number of divorces rose steadily during the antebellum era? In Families in Crisis in the Old South, Loren Schweninger uses previously unexplored records to argue that the difficulties these divorcing families faced reveal much about the reality of life in a slave-holding society as well as the myriad difficulties confronted by white
