Ist Schmerz schön? Schmerz zählt zu den drängenden medizinischen, sozialen und politischen Problemen unserer Zeit. Welche Bedeutung kommt Literatur, kommt Kunst angesichts menschlicher Leiderfahrungen zu? Was dürfen Literatur und Kunst vom leidenden menschlichen Körper zeigen? Schmerz ist ein ethisch-ästhetischer Testfall, dessen Darstellungsproblematik diskutiert wird anhand der Theorien von Platon, Mendelssohn, Burke, Herder, Moritz, Winckelmann, Lessing, Goethe, Kant, Schiller, Diderot, F. Schlegel, Hegel, Heine, Rosenkranz, Nietzsche, Simmel, Jünger, Adorno und Sontag sowie anhand literarischer Texte de Sades, Chamissos, Baudelaires und Lautréamonts. Überlegungen zu ästhetischen Figurationen des Schmerzes werfen Fragen auf nach kulturellen Grundwerten, die sich im Umgang mit schmerzenden Körpern, im Verbergen und Enthüllen offenbaren.

In this work Dr. Szasz dispels popular and scientific confusion about what pain and pleasure actually are. Demonstrating the doubtful value of such distinctions as “real” and Imagined” pain, or “physical” and “intellectual” pleasure, he analyses the basic concepts-psychological, philosophical, and sociological-involved in bodily feelings and discusses how these feelings are communicated. Some of the subjects discussed in Pain and Pleasure include: self-mutilation, sexual satisfaction, “hysterical anesthesia,” false pregnancy, laughter, homosexuality, and dream analysis.

The triangular relationship between the social, the political, and the cultural has opened up social and political theory to new challenges. The social can no longer be reduced to the category of society, and the political extends beyond the traditional concerns of the nature of the state and political authority. This Handbook will address a range of issues that have recently emerged from the disciplines of social and political theory, focusing on key themes as opposed to schools of thought or major theorists. It is divided into three sections which address: the most influential theoretical traditions that have emerged from the legacy of the twentieth century the most important new and emerging frameworks of analysis today the major theoretical problems in recent social and political theory The Second edition is an enlarged, revised, and updated version of the first edition, which was published in 2011 and comprised 42 chapters. The new edition consists of 50 chapters, of which seventeen are entirely new chapters covering topics that have become increasingly prominent in social and political theory in recent years, such as populism, the new materialism, postcolonialism, Deleuzean theory, post-humanism, post-capitalism as well as older topics that were not covered in the first edition, such as Arendt, the gift, critical realism, anarchism. All chapters retained from the first edition have been thoroughly revised and updated. The Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory encompasses the most up-to-date developments in contemporary social and political theory, and as such is an essential research tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers working in the fields of political theory, social and political philosophy, contemporary social theory, and cultural theory.

Though there was not even a word for, or a concept of, disability in Antiquity, a considerable part of the population experienced physical or mental conditions that put them at a disadvantage. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, from literary texts and legal sources to archaeological and iconographical evidence as well as comparative anthropology, this volume uniquely examines contexts and conditions of disability in the ancient world. An essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of history, literature, culture and education, A Cultural History of Disability in Antiquity explores such themes and topics as: atypical bodies; mobility impairment; chronic pain and illness; blindness; deafness; speech; learning difficulties; and mental health.

Gender has a fundamental influence on the human brain, not only by virtue of biological and hormonal differences between the sexes but also because of the impact of gender-specific cultural, social, anthropological and environmental factors. Nevertheless, the relation of gender and psychopathology remains a largely neglected field. Gender perspective has been treated as a paradigm in this book on psychopathology because it determines the way in which a psychiatric symptom is defined, perceived and understood. This conception of gender as being of key importance in the definition of psychiatric symptomatology is exceptional in the literature. The book opens by examining historical and cultural aspects of mental health in women worldwide and the relation of sex, brain and gender, with coverage of both neurobiological and psychosocial aspects. The significance of gender with regard to specific aspects of psychopathology is then addressed in detail. A wide range of psychological disorders are considered, as well as hormonal influences and issues concerning body image, self identity, sexuality and life instinct. It is hoped that this book will make a significant contribution in ensuring that gender perspective receives due attention within descriptive psychopathology.

Im Mittelpunkt der theoretischen Überlegungen steht hier die Frage nach der ideologischen Hierarchisierung der menschlichen Sinneskonstitution im theologischen und akademischen Denken von Abend- und Morgenland, das heißt unsere westliche Rangfolge von Wort und Bild, von Hören und Sehen hält einer umfassenden Diskursanalyse nicht stand. Solche Einsicht vorausgesetzt, lässt sich zeigen, dass die Zuschreibung vorrationalen Denkens und Sprechens als unvernünftig, primitiv, abergläubisch, ja magistisch die anthropologische Natur des Menschen als Kulturwesen missdeutet. In den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften haben Wortverdinglichung und Schriftfetischismus das Bilddenken und die meisten Formen von symbolischem Kapital gering geachtet oder gar ausgeblendet. Heute sind in den meisten wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen die drei Sprachen der menschlichen Kommunikation bewusst: Wort, Bild, Gebärde (im weitesten Sinne) oder: die Sprache des Schriftlichen, die Sprache des Optischen und die Sprache des Performativen. Im zweiten Teil wird anhand des exemplarischen Feldes vom so genannten Bildzauber an jenen Fallbeispielen durch die gesamte Geschichte vom frühen Mesopotamien bis ins gegenwärtige Europa zu erweisen gesucht, wie wir Heutigen diese Phänomene zu verstehen haben und damit auch unsere Vorfahren in den Kreis des Homo sapiens sapiens einreihen dürfen, dessen Teilhabe nicht Abitur, Matura oder Bac voraussetzen. Die akademische Zweiteilung der Menschheit in vernünftig denkende Wesen und prälogisch hantierende Underdogs gehört der Vergangenheit an. Wolfgang Brückner, geb. 1930, 1956 Promotion, 1964 Habilitation, 1969-1973 Professur für Volkskunde an der Universität Frankfurt, 1973-1998 Ordinarius für Deutsche Philologie und Volkskunde an der Universität Würzburg. 1974-1998 Hrsg. der Bayer. Blätter für Volkskunde und des Jahrbuchs für Volkskunde. Zentrale Forschungsgebiete u.a.: Kultur und Volk als Konstrukte; das Verhältnis von Wort und Bild in Recht, Frömmigkeit und Kunst; Phänomene der Kunstpopularisierung; Menschen und Moden; Formen konfessioneller Kulturprägung.

First Published in 1999. The interaction between religion and medicine is universal throughout recorded history. They meet at the great turning points of life: at birth, at moments of acute suffering and at death. Not only are priest and doctor often needed at the same time and place, the two roles have also been combined in ancient and modem societies. This volume looks at whether healers and religions have worked in harmony or been in conflict, as well as their frequent and substantive interaction. An International Workshop lies behind this volume and one of the distinctive features of this project is that it brought together scholars of religion, historians of medicine, anthropologists and medical practitioners.

Siegfried Wenzel's groundbreaking study seeks to describe and analyze the linguistically mixed, or macaronic, sermons in late fourteenth-century England. Not only are these works of considerable religious interest, they provide extensive information on their literary, linguistic, and cultural milieux. Macaronic Sermons begins by offering a typology of such works: those in which English words offer glosses, or offer structural functions, or offer neither of the two but yet are syntactically integrated. This last group is then examined in detail: reasons are given for this usage and for its origins, based on the realities of fourteenth-century England. Siefriend Wenzel draws valuable conclusions about the linguistic status quo of the era, together with the extent of education, the audiences' expectations, and the ways in which the authors' minds worked. Obviously of interest to scholars and students of early English literature, Macaronic Sermons also contains much valuable information for specialists in language development or oral theory, and for those interested in multicultural societies.
