Abstract

Biographics has only recently started establishing itself as a field of research, and within it this study on biographical anthropology sets new directions by giving a detailed description of the significance of anthropological and moral-didactic theories and interests for the description of strangers' life histories in a chronological traverse of over 100 years of history of the genre. In contrast to traditional locations of biographical writing between art and scholarship, novel and historiography, biography is now reviewed as anthropological case history and didactic example. Foci: biographical stances in the 19th century (Varnhagen, Stifter, Laube, Gutzkow, Droysen, Ranke, Smiles, Gottschall) - psychological and biological models - 'modern biographics' (Wassermann, Zweig, Ludwig) - national biographical texts (Ritter, Molo, Schäfer). In dem sich erst in jüngster Zeit etablierenden Forschungsfeld der Biographik setzt die Studie "Biographische Anthropologie" neue Akzente, wenn die Bedeutung anthropologischer und moraldidaktischer Theorien und Anliegen für die Beschreibung fremder Lebensläufe im chronologischen Durchgang durch über 100 Jahre Gattungsgeschichte detailliert beschrieben wird. Gegenüber traditionellen Standortbestimmungen der Biographie zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft, Roman und Historiographie wird diese nun als anthropologische Fallgeschichte und didaktisches Exempel umrissen. Schwerpunkte: Positionen zur Biographik des 19. Jahrhunderts (Varnhagen, Stifter, Laube, Gutzkow, Droysen, Ranke, Smiles, Gottschall) - psychologische und biologische Modelle - die 'moderne Biographik' (Wassermann, Zweig, Ludwig) - nationalbiographische Texte (Ritter, Molo, Schäfer).

Abstract

"A patient's job is to tell the physician what hurts, and the physician's job is to fix it. But how does the physician know what is wrong? What becomes of the patient's story when the patient becomes a case? Addressing readers on both sides of the patient-physician encounter, Kathryn Hunter looks at medicine as an art that relies heavily on telling and interpreting a story--the patient's story of illness and its symptoms."--
