Untersuchungen zu Ursprung, Form und Funktion von kunstgewerblichen Objekten als Gaben an die Mutter nach der Geburt
No full textSoftcover, 17x24Unter dem Begriff Kindbettgeschenke werden Gaben verstanden, die der Mutter nach der Geburt ihres Kindes im Wochenbett überreicht wurden. Im Rahmen von Besuchen brachten Verwandte, Freunde, Bekannte oder Nachbarn ein Geschenk für die frisch gewordene Mutter mit, das zunächst aus Speis und Trank bestand, mit der Zeit aber auch kunstgewerbliche Objekte umfassen konnte; auch verehrten Ehemänner ihren Gemahlinnen Kindbettgeschenke. Der Brauch, die Frau im Wochenbett zu beschenken, geht auf eine lange Tradition zurück, die zum Teil noch bis heute anhält. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung werden kunstgewerbliche Objekte als Kindbettgeschenke in ihrer kunstgeschichtlichen Entwicklung von der Frühen Neuzeit bis in das frühe 19. Jahrhundert ausführlich analysiert und kommentiert. Im Kontext ihrer kulturgeschichtlichen Voraussetzungen wird dabei vor allem der Frage nach Form, Inhalt und Funktion der Gaben nachgegangen, womit ein Sondergebiet der frühneuzeitlichen Kunst und Kultur erstmals umfassend erschlossen wird.The term childbed presents is understood to mean gifts that were presented to the mothers of new-born babies in childbed. Presents for the new mother given for example during visits by relatives, friends and neighbours, initially consisted of food and drink. Later they could also include applied art objects. The custom of presenting childbed presents has a long tradition and still partially continues until today. In the present study, applied art objects which can be identified as childbed presents are analyzed and discussed in relation to their art historical development from the early modern period to the early 19th century. In regard to their cultural and historical context, questions about the form, content and function of these gifts will be investigated. In doing so a special field of early modern art and culture becomes accessible for the first time
Dr. Nicole Maurantonio - Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Nicole Maurantonio, Associate Professor of Rhetoric & Communication Studies and American Studies, discusses her book, Confederate Exceptionalism: Civil War Myth and Memory in the Twenty-First Century, published recently by the University Press of Kansas. In a time of contentious debates and protests surrounding the removal of Confederate monuments, this book considers how so-called “neo-Confederates” can distance themselves from the actions of white supremacists while also clinging to the very symbols and narratives that tether the Confederacy to histories of racism and oppression in the United States

"Wie eine Mutter, aber nicht besser als die richtige": Delegation familialer Fürsorgebeziehungen in der Kindertagespflege
No full textKindertagespflege kann im Kontext der in Deutschland noch immer vorherrschenden Präferenz weiblicher und insbesondere mütterlicher Kinderbetreuung als eine Delegation von familialer Fürsorge verstanden werden. Die Tagesmutter nimmt in diesem familienähnlichen Betreuungssetting im privaten Kontext dabei den Status einer mütterlichen Bezugsperson ein. Damit steht diese in einem Spannungsverhältnis zu der Mutter des betreuten Kindes in der Hinsicht, als dass sie zwar die Trennung von Mutter und Kind durch eine quasi mütterliche Funktion kompensieren soll, die Mutter-Kind-Beziehung aber gleichzeitig nicht gefährden darf. Mit empirischen Beispielen aus Interviews mit Tagesmüttern und theoretischen Ansätzen der Psychoanalyse und der Arbeitssoziologie wird gezeigt, dass die Betreuungspersonen sich zum einen mit der Mutterposition identifizieren. Zum anderen müssen sie aber auch in ihrer pädagogischen Tätigkeit "emotional management" betreiben, um eine gefühlsmäßge Distanz gegenüber dem Betreuungskind aufrecht erhalten zu können
