DESCRIPTION

Kulturelle Konzepte Pranataler Pragung Von Der Fruhen Neuzeit Zur Moderne / Cultural Concepts of Prenatal Imprinting from the Early Modern Period to the Present
English summary: The prenatal development of a child and its possible influences during pregnancy has received broad attention in the recent discussion on epigenetics. The imaginations of the unborn, its development as well as formability have an extensive historical tradition which is not least embedded in literary and artistic discourses. The present work looks at the history of cultural concepts that deal with the influences on the unborn, from an interdisciplinary point of view, by covering the time from the early modern period to modernity. The study focuses on literary history and the history of knowledge of the so-called maternal "oversight" which states that external influences on motherly imagination affect the shape of the unborn child. The articles in this book explore the wide field of cultural history and the history of knowledge of such concepts of influences and their historical economy, upheavals, and changes. German summary: Der pranatalen Entwicklung des Kindes und seinen moglichen Pragungen wahrend der Schwangerschaft ist im Zuge der aktuellen Diskussion um die Epigenetik weitreichende Aufmerksamkeit zuteilgeworden. Vorstellungen des 'Ungeborenen', seiner Entwicklung und Gestaltbarkeit verfugen jedoch auch uber eine umfangreiche historische Tradition, die nicht zuletzt auch in literarischen und kunstlerischen Diskursen verankert ist. Der vorliegende Band verfolgt diese Geschichte kultureller Konzepte der Pragung des Ungeborenen von der Fruhen Neuzeit bis zur Moderne aus interdisziplinarer Perspektive. Im Zentrum steht die Literatur- und Wissensgeschichte des sogenannten mutterlichen 'Versehens', die Auffassung, dass aussere Eindrucke auf die mutterliche Einbildungskraft sich in die Gestalt des ungeborenen Kindes einpragen. Die Beitrage des Bandes erschliessen die umfangreiche Wissens- und Kulturgeschichte solcher Pragungskonzepte und ihre historischen Konjunkturen, Umbruche und Verschiebungen.
