Long description: Nach einer Fehl- oder Stillgeburt sind Betroffene mit der Vorstellung konfrontiert, es sei ja noch kein richtiges Kind gewesen, der Verlust sei entsprechend wenig betrauernswert. Julia Böcker geht empirisch der Frage nach, unter welchen Bedingungen es gesellschaftlich als legitim gilt, das vorzeitige Ende einer Schwangerschaft als Tod und Verlust eines Kindes zu behandeln. Im Ergebnis steht die Rekonstruktion subjektiver Verlusterfahrungen im Kontext der kulturellen Ordnungen um körperliche Materialität, medizinisch (un)bestimmtes Leben und soziale Personalität. Deutlich werden der Umgang mit Wissensgrenzen und das Paradox einer subjektverantworteten Trauerkultur in der Gegenwart. Biographical note: Dr. Julia Böcker ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Soziologie und Kulturorganisation, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg. Ihre Arbeitsschwerpunkte sind Kultur- und Wissenssoziologie, Körper und Emotion, Qualitative Methoden.

Finalist for the 2014 Book Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion, textual studies category presented by the American Academy of ReligionConceiving Identities explores how medieval Muslim theologians appropriate a woman's reproductive power to construct a female gender identity in which maternity is a central component. Through a close analysis of seventh- through fourteenth-century exegetical works, medical treatises, legal pronouncements, historiographies, zoologies, and other literary materials, this study considers how medieval Muslim scholars map the female reproductive body according to broader, cosmological schemes to generate a woman's role as "mother." By close consideration of folk medicine and magic, this book also reveals how medieval women contest the traditional maternal identities imagined for them and thereby reinvent themselves as mothers and Muslims. This innovative examination of the discourse and practices surrounding maternity forges new ground as it takes up the historical and epistemic construction of medieval Muslim women's identities.

A passionate placement of childbearing at the core of human culture and society, Bearing Meaning is that rare combination of warm and genuine experience with profound, important scholarship. From Homer to obstetric texts to Our Bodies, Ourselves, and where the humanities and social sciences overlap and intertwine, Robbie Pfeufer Kahn has crafted a beautiful book that awards the meaning of childbearing to all, not just to women or to families with children. Taking into account how the politics of patriarchy has sought to define and control the birth process, Kahn liberates and releases this central human experience into the heart of society and culture where it can be shared, enjoyed, and understood in greater depth than it has ever been before. As personal and touching as it is far-reaching and analytical, Bearing Meaning is fresh, original, and exciting, moving effortlessly among textual analyses, social theories, and the invaluable experience of motherhood. Kahn makes an unprecedented contribution to the understanding of the maternal in culture and society - which will, in turn, have a powerful impact not only on the reading and teaching of standard materials on birth and motherhood but on the rethinking of social reform as well.
