Abstract

Zwischen der Einführung der Antibabypille in den 1960er Jahren und der aktuellen Diskussion um Social Freezing, Drei-Eltern-Kinder und Leihmutterschaft verschiebt sich die Wahrnehmung der Schwangerschaft: Individuelle Lebensentwürfe und gesellschaftliche Debatten rund um die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf bestimmen den Diskurs über sie ebenso wie medizinethische und biopolitische Überlegungen. Viele Menschen wünschen sich heute einen vermeintlich ganz ihren individuellen Lebensbedingungen angepassten Umgang mit der Kinderfrage und sind sich dabei gleichzeitig der Performativität ihres Körpers in seinen reproduktiven Eigenschaften sehr bewusst: Oft werden die eigene Fruchtbarkeit und ihr Produkt zum lebensgeschichtlichen Projekt stilisiert, dessen dokumentarische und selbstinszenatorische Aspekte ein menschheitsgeschichtlich allgemeines Phänomen radikal individualisieren und damit neu zu legitimieren suchen. Der schwangere Körper erweist sich als Kreuzungspunkt gesellschaftlicher Diskurse rund um Fragen der Lebensplanung, der Sterblichkeit und der Subjektbildung, aber auch der Ökonomisierung des Privaten und der Veröffentlichung des Geheimen.

Abstract

« Des mains négatives sur les parois des grottes de Chauvet, de Pech' Merle ou de Gargas (moins 30 000 ans) aux expériences les plus récentes de certains artistes contemporains, toute une histoire de l'art peut s'écrire sous le prisme de la respiration. Entre ces deux bornes – le gravettien et le monde immédiatement contemporain –, cette étude tente de mettre en relief la force innovante du souffle et l'importance accordée à la respiration en tant que geste créateur. »--

Abstract

"The first full study of "birth figures," a set of illustrations which were widely reproduced in early modern books on childbirth and midwifery. Birth figures are printed images of the pregnant uterus, always shown in series, that depict the variety of ways in which a fetus can present for birth. Historian Rebecca Whiteley coined the term and here offers the first systematic analysis of the images' creation, use, and impact. Whiteley reveals their origins in ancient medicine and explores their inclusion in many medieval gynecological manuscripts, focusing on their explosion in printed midwifery and surgical books from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century in Western Europe. During this period, birth figures formed a key part of the visual culture of medicine and midwifery and were widely produced. They reflected and shaped how the pregnant body was known and treated. And by providing crucial bodily knowledge to midwives and surgeons, birth figures were also deeply entangled with wider cultural preoccupations with generation and creativity, female power and agency, knowledge and its dissemination, and even the condition of the human in the universe. Birth Figures studies how different kinds of people understood childbirth and engaged with midwifery manuals, from learned physicians to midwives to illiterate listeners. Rich and detailed, this vital history reveals the importance of birth figures in how midwifery was practiced and in how people, both medical professionals and lay readers, envisioned and understood the mysterious state of pregnancy.

Abstract

"This book brings images of holy motherhood and childbearing into the centre of an art-historical enquiry. By focusing on images of St Anne and the Holy Kinship in Books of Hours made for aristocratic women in relation to the dynastic importance of heirs, it reassesses the role of the female viewer as an active agent in the interpretation of pictures and popular devotional rites." "Holy Motherhood combines an innovative methodology that draws on art-historical and contemporary gender studies with empirical evidence from fifteenth-century manuscripts, to show how images worked, not only to script and maintain gender and social roles within patriarchal society, but also to offer viewers ways of managing those roles." "The book will appeal to advanced students, academics and researchers of Art History, Illuminated Manuscripts, Medieval History and Gender Studies."--Jacket
