Authors: Tinaweng Novita Sania , Andriani Sri , Haji Jafar Cindy Puspita Sari
Published: January 2025

MP-ASI represents a critical transition period for toddlers (6-24 months) requiring precise nutritional fulfilment by parents to meet optimal growth and development needs. Children are at risk of experiencing growth and developmental disorders or stunting in the early stages of life when it is not well fulfilled. Thus, parental knowledge plays a crucial role in ensuring proper MP-ASI provision. The purpose of this study is to assess the parental knowledge level regarding providing healthy MP-ASI menus. This study is classified as a quantitative study with a descriptive design, employing a descriptive survey approach. The population consists of all mothers with toddlers (6-24 months) in the working area of Puskesmas Limboto, Gorontalo Regency, totalling 1,249 respondents selected using cluster sampling, with a sample of 302 respondents. The instrument used is the “Questionnaire to asses parents’ knowledge about infant complementary feeding.” Data analysis is conducted using univariate analysis. The findings indicate that the level of maternal knowledge regarding the provision of healthy MP-ASI menus is categorized as good for 176 respondents (58.3%), fair for 108 respondents (35.8%), and poor for 18 respondents(6.0%). In conclusion, some mothers with toddlers (6-24 months) possess good knowledge regarding providing healthy MP-ASI menus. Therefore, it is imperative for research institutions to continue prioritizing education efforts to raise public awareness regarding the importance of comprehensively providing appropriate MP-ASI through integrated maternal and child health services programs.

Published: January 2025

A person's old age will experience a decrease in the function and structure of body organs so that it has an impact on the reduced ability to respond to stimuli that come from inside or outside his body. One of the health problems that tends to occur in the elderly is hypertension. Hypertension is abnormal blood pressure where the systolic pressure is more than 140 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is more than 90 mmHg. The management of hypertension is divided into two, namely pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is foot soaking therapy with warm water to lower blood pressure in the elderly which is easy and effective to be done independently at home. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of foot soaking therapy with warm water on the reduction of blood pressure in the elderly suffering from hypertension in the working area of the Batudaa Health Center.The design of this study uses a pre-experiment with one group pre and post test given an intervention to the subjects. The population in this study is 116 elderly people who are recorded as hypertension sufferers in the working area of the Batudaa Health Center. The total sample in this study is 16 respondents. The results of the Paired Test of the T-test sample showed a difference in the values in the pre-test and post-test blood pressure data before and after the intervention of foot bath therapy with warm water where a p-value of 0.000 was obtained. It is hoped that the Health Center can provide input on non-pharmacological therapies to the elderly that can prevent, control, and lower blood pressure in addition to consuming anti-hypertensive drugs.

A SNARC-like effect for visual speed
Authors: Vicovaro Michele , Boscariol Riccardo , Dalmaso Mario
Published: January 2025

Numerical and nonnumerical magnitudes can be represented along a hypothetical left-to-right continuum, where smaller quantities are associated with the left side and larger quantities with the right side. However, these representations are flexible, as their intensity and direction can be modulated by various contextual cues and task demands. In four experiments, we investigated the spatial representation of visual speed. Visual speed is inherently connected to physical space and spatial directions, making it distinct from other magnitudes. With this in mind, we explored whether the spatial representation of visual speed aligns with the typical left-to-right orientation or is influenced dynamically by the movement direction of the stimuli. Participants compared the speed of random dot kinematograms to a reference speed using lateralised response keys. On each trial, all dots moved consistently in one single direction, which varied across the experiments and could also vary from trial to trial in Experiments 2 and 4. The dot movements were left-to-right (Experiment 1), random across a 360° spectrum (Experiment 2), right-to-left (Experiment 3), and random left-to-right or right-to-left (Experiment 4). The results supported a relatively stable left-to-right spatial representation of speed (Experiments 1–3), which was compromised by mutable motion directions along the horizontal axis (Experiment 4). We suggest that representing stimuli as belonging to a single set rather than different sets, may be crucial for the emergence of spatial representations of quantities.
Strategy-Performance Relationship Through Organizational
Resilience

Published: January 2025

This paper aims to analyze the 5strategy-performance relationship through the mediation of organization resilience in tourism SMEs. Primary data was collected from 760 managers of tourism SMEs in the top five tourism destinations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province of Pakistan using multistage cluster sampling through researcher-administrated questionnaires. Miles and Snow's classification of SMEs' strategic orientations as Prospector, Analyzer, Defender and Reactors was used. AMOS-SEM was applied to analyze the strategy-performance relationship and mediation of organizational resilience. The findings showed that strategy has a significant impact on organizational resilience and organizational performance. Organizational resilience mediates the strategy-performance relationship. Prospectors displayed the highest performance, followed by analyzers and defenders, while the performance of reactors was the lowest. This was cross-sectional research conducted in tourism SMEs in the Pakistani context. The sector is time-specific; therefore, a longitudinal study can be undertaken in national and international contexts. The government’s support in developing organizational resilience is rudimentary in the tourism sector due to its high vulnerability to environmental jolts. This empirical research contributed to the least-researched sector of tourism SMEs in Pakistan operating in distinct segments of tourism SMEs.
''My Daughter Would Say I am a Superwoman''
Authors: Kuhar Hana , Trdina Andreja
Published: January 2025

The article examines media portrayals of prominent female managers in Slovenian tourism and hospitality to analyse their success narratives and the underlying ideas shaping their social positions. Using post-feminism (McRobbie, 2004; Banet-Weiser et al., 2020) as a theoretical framework, it explores how gender myths and neoliberal individualism combine to justify female achievement. The study employs the performativity approach (Goffman, 1959; Butler, 1988) to investigate how women navigate and reproduce existing gender and class narratives in their media performances. Media interviews with successful Slovenian female managers in the tourism and hospitality sector were analysed to reveal how gender and class discourses intersect in their self-presentations. The identified self-performing strategies include a) the myth of meritocracy, bolstered by the gendered discourse of greater renunciation, b) the dialectic between references to women’s solidarity and the emphasis on individualism, and c) the portrayal of feminine care and empathy alongside a display of strict discipline and determination. Against the background of the intimate relationship among neoliberal ideology, postfeminism, and media culture, future policies fostering gender equality in the tourism industry should address practices aimed at bridging unequal opportunities and the materiality of language.

During an emergency situation, broadcast radio is the most flexible, and most accessible medium; in local emergency, local radio has a major role, since. During early stages of an emergency, the radio station and the authorities need to cooperate in informing the public concerned; later local radio has a role in the rehabilitation process. This author presents examples on how radio works in emergency, including the temporary community station that was on the air in the Ajka–Devecser area after the industrial catastrophe in 2010.

Published: January 2025

The Tianwen-1 (TW1) mission, which successfully entered Mars's orbit in 2021, provides a valuable data set for enhancing the understanding of Mars’s gravity field. The highly elliptical near-polar orbit of the TW1 orbiter offers unique sensitivity to long-wavelength gravity signals, complementing the contributions of low-altitude missions like the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). In this study, we used 4 months of TW1 radio tracking data in combination with MRO data to develop a new Mars gravity field model up to degree and order 50. We evaluated the improvement of gravity field determination through power spectrum analysis, gravity anomaly maps, and trajectory precision assessment. The result shows significant improvements in accuracy up to degree and order 30, with an average enhancement of 38% in the zonal harmonic coefficients. There are obvious differences between the two gravity field models in gravity anomaly maps. The range of gravity anomaly errors improves after incorporating TW1 data, with the maximum error decreasing from 53.4 to 46.4 mGal and the average error improving from 8.4 to 7.3 mGal. Additionally, orbit determination experiments confirm that the fused gravity field model enhances trajectory modeling for both MRO and TW1. These findings highlight the scientific value of TW1 tracking data in advancing Mars’s gravity field modeling and provide critical insights for future deep-space missions.

Recent JWST observations have revealed the prevalence of spiral structures at z > 1. Unlike in the local Universe, the origin and the consequence of spirals at this epoch remain unexplored. We use public JWST/NIRCam data from the COSMOS-Web survey to map spiral structures in eight massive (>1010.5
M
⊙) star-forming galaxies at z
spec ∼ 1.5. We present a method for systematically quantifying spiral arms at z > 1, enabling direct measurements of flux distributions. Using rest-frame near-IR images, we construct morphological models accurately tracing spiral arms. We detect offsets (∼0.2–0.8 kpc) between the rest-frame optical and near-IR flux distributions across most arms. Drawing parallels to the local Universe, we conclude that these offsets reflect the presence of density waves. For 9 out of 18 arms, the offsets indicate spiral shocks triggered by density waves. In all, 5 arms have offsets in the opposite direction and are likely associated with tidal interactions. For the remaining cases with no detected offsets, we suggest that stochastic “clumpy” star formation is the primary driver of their formation. In conclusion, we find a multifaceted nature of spiral arms at z > 1, similar to that in the local Universe.

Published: January 2025

This paper provides updates to the checklist of Macroheteroceran moths (Lepidoptera) of the central High Atlas of Morocco, following the initial inventory conducted by Charles Rungs nearly five decades ago. Sampling was carried out using sugar bait traps deployed across various habitat types in the region (natural, semi-natural and agricultural lands). Identification of the collected specimens involved a comprehensive approach, including examination of external morphology, dissections of genitalia and DNA barcoding.

In this study, we recorded a total of 123 species belonging to the families Noctuidae, Erebidae, Geometridae, Eutelidae and Drepanidae. Euxoa cos (Noctuidae) was recorded as a new species for Morocco. The presence of Apamea maroccana (Noctuidae) and Chersotis rungsi (Noctuidae), both endemic to Morocco, was verified in the study area. Four of the 123 species were only identified at the genus level. Our inventory also sheds light on species that were previously not known to occur within our study area, reporting twelve species from the High Atlas Mountains for the first time. We also suggest omitting Eupithecia farinosa (Geometridae) from the Moroccan Lepidoptera list. This study significantly contributes to uncovering an overlooked aspect of Lepidopteran biodiversity in Morocco, which is crucial for future conservation efforts.
Institutions, History, Subjects
Authors: Kranjc Uroš
Published: January 2025

Recent years have seen an immense upsurge in developing the notion of institution with the aim of updating and reconfiguring its conceptualisation to make it correspond to present times. The stakes are high as the current Western institutional framework struggles to ensure its historical continuation—conceived broadly as political, economic, social, scientific, artistic, and other institutions—as the predominant global dispositive. In the article, we first review the current most significant orientations and disciplines that focus on institutions and proceed with a critical assessment of relevant events. In the second part, we question the subjective process and subjectivation of an institutional framework. If we reject the linguistic, empirical, or hermeneutic approaches, how can we capture the dynamics of change in a framework? What indicates that a subjective process is taking place? We draw on the cases of St. Paul and Giordano Bruno to illuminate the Law’s historical repetition through cumulative cultural growth in re-inscribing the subjectivization of faithful and enduring—i.e. universalist—operations of rupture and dispute leading to a Decision against reigning particularisms of institutional setups.
Absense, or the Extimate Place of Art
Authors: Kukuljevic Alexi
Published: January 2025

In order to think Art in its difference from the arts, I argue, requires that we take seriously its lack of sense. This lack is symptomatic of a historical rupture with the sense of art as technē (know-how), a sense that remains at play when one speaks of the arts. However, if art is not an art, then what is it? In this essay, I argue that art is a thing that makes sense absent. To specify art’s absent sense, its absense, requires both a historical analysis of art’s rupture with technē and the mastery it implies, and an ontological determination of the manner in which it makes of this loss a thing that serves to dumbfound. Art is thus inseparable from stupidity. Through an engagement with the work of Aristotle and Heidegger, Bataille and Balzac, Baudelaire, and Lacan, I suggest that art marks the extimate place of absense.
Fascism and the Tiny Hands of the Market
Authors: Simon Joshua
Published: January 2025

In this essay, digital hibridity stands for the perpetual availability of life as both labour and debt for capital, both in real life and online. At the heart of these reflections is the realization that the digital is a regime in which finance capital believes it is finally free from any dependency on social reproduction. With the move from value to price, from labor to debt, from revolution to disruption, and from avant-garde to speculation, the digital evolved as the material of capital and the totality of the social has been replaced by the tidal liquidity of finance; immaterial labor, touching images on the screen, the rhizomatic panopticon of the Internet, shock-work on social media, and cryptocurrencies are all examples of the ways in which the digital and financial shadow each other. This new regime entails a series of conversions that change the ways in which meaning is organized—from the point of production to the point of realization, from strikes to riots, from working class to surplus populations, from solidarity to conspiracy, and from organization to petty sovereignty.
The Dialogical Imperative in The Digital Age
Authors: Banai Noit
Published: January 2025

This article argues for the urgency of positing visual forms as sites through which to further develop the framework of dialogical and multi-directional memory in narrating the histories of Israel/Palestine as well as other spaces where a contest for a national homeland has been circumscribed within limited notions of identity. First, it revisits the writings of scholars who have laid the theoretical groundwork through which to challenge the orthodoxy of the nation-centric positions in Israel/Palestine and who embed them within the larger project of decolonization. Second, it points to the necessity of incorporating the theories of biopolitics and necropolitics to understand how power operates in producing the archive of memory. Third, it analyzes contemporary aesthetic strategies through which muted archives of memory have been activated and builds upon them to articulate the concept of “trans-national specularity,” forging comparisons across national borders and potentially beyond national imaginaries.
Gender and Its Discontents
Authors: Kotnik Lia Lola Vlado
Published: January 2025

Gender produces multiple discontents (unease, discomfort, embarrassment, irritation, annoyance) in society. With this straightforward thesis the author addresses the problem of gender—Butlerian “gender trouble”—as a form of cultural discontent or unease. During the ground-breaking and path-paving women’s, feminist, gay and lesbian movements, gender, then female gender, caused cultural irritation for the patriarchy of the then societies and continues to do so to this very day. However, with the recent transgender movement, this cultural unease about gender has taken on entirely new dimensions, including turning gender into an alarming issue, a threatening global specter and annoyingly omnipresent conflict not only in wider society but also in academia. These uneasy issues are here tackled in two ways, through the theory and practice of gender. The way subversive gender theory can trigger collective unease, even if it is falsely imposed, artificially induced, and manipulatively orchestrated, is shown using the example of the abuse of Judith Butler’s gender theory by polemicists in culture war debates surrounding gender and proponents and supporters of the anti-gender movement, clearly betraying their intention of harming communities of gender non-conforming people and those communities’ efforts towards social, political, and legal emancipation. The way transgressive gender practice can trigger relational discomfort in everyday interactions is illustrated through the author’s own “gender story” in the form of a short autoethnography of gender unease, to illustrate the problem of deep sex/gender binarism, essentialism, primordialism, perennialism, and naturalism permeating, completely spontaneously and unreflexively, all our thoughts, words, actions, relationships, institutions, and collectives.
Artificial Intelligence as a Metaphysical Event
Authors: Bunta Aleš
Published: January 2025

The paper focuses on the questions of whether, to what extent, and in what ways the implications of the rapid development of artificial intelligence are changing the nature of one of the fundamental philosophical questions, “What does it (even) mean to understand?” It draws on two sources in particular: Hinton’s explanation of the technological development and functioning of deep neural networks and Nietzsche’s deconstruction of human understanding based on his key concept of “embodied errors.” In doing so, it reveals a series of unexpected parallels, relating in particular to the notion of micro- evolution and the function of error in the processes underlying “thinking” and “intelligence.” The paper therefore draws certain parallels and demarcation lines between human understanding and the “learning” procedures of digital neural networks. At the same time, it addresses the question of what it means for the interpretation of human understanding that, for the first time in history, understanding is faced with a real, existing antithesis, represented by intelligent systems which, although they do not understand, are capable of performing the tasks of understanding, and capable of replacing understanding.

Quentovic, la Canche et la Manche. Essor et développement d’un port de rivière à la mer
Authors: Leroy Inès
Published: January 2025

Quentovic constitue un pôle économique et administratif majeur pendant tout le haut Moyen Âge. Sa position, au fond de l’estuaire de la Canche, lui assure une relative protection face aux inondations des phénomènes tempétueux. Mais la dynamique fluviale assez marquée dans ce secteur intertidal impose la construction d’aménagements et des travaux d’adaptation aux évolutions de la Canche. Les fouilles récentes étroitement liées aux études paléo-environnementales offrent désormais une meilleure représentation des contextes de développement et de vie de cet espace urbanisé. En complément, une analyse du paysage, couplée à l’étude des sources textuelles, pose les bases d’une réflexion sur une occupation élargie à l’échelle de la basse vallée.
Le réseau hydrographique ancien de Beauvais (Oise). L’origine des canaux urbains Sainte-Marguerite et Saint-François (ier-xve s.)
Authors: Lefèvre Sébastien
Published: January 2025

L’établissement des canaux urbains Sainte-Marguerite et Saint-François dont il est question dans cet article est généralement daté de l’époque médiévale, plus précisément parfois du xie s. Le tracé de ces canaux, qui ont aujourd’hui totalement disparu du paysage urbain, est connu par différents plans et vues dont les plus anciens ne sont pas antérieurs au xvie s. L’homogénéité de leur tracé a amené à supposer une mise en place simultanée et à y voir un projet d’urbanisme planifié.Aux indications fournies par la documentation textuelle, dont la valeur informative peut apparaître assez faible, s’ajoutent aujourd’hui des données archéologiques relativement nombreuses qui apportent un éclairage nouveau. L’enquête menée depuis 2020 révèle en effet un réseau hydrographique antérieur au xve s. sensiblement différent de celui visible sur les plans modernes et largement hérité, contre toute attente, de l’époque romaine.
Impact of Oral Frailty in Prosthodontic Care of an Aging Population
Authors: John Jacob
Published: January 2025

Sri Lanka, being one of the fastest aging nations in the world, need to embrace the unprecedented pres-sure this has on its health and social services in a holistic manner. The risk of frailty increases with aging and the prevalence of oral hypofunction raises along with physical dependency, cognitive decline, malnutrition and multimorbidity. With the advancement in healthcare services and increased public awareness, more people are retaining their natural or rehabilitated teeth into old age. Prosthodontic management should not only em-phasize proper oral function examination and treatment planning but also on home care of the prosthesis. This review will discuss the challenges and alternative prosthodontic treatment options for persons with oral frailty.
Venous thromboembolism in bullous pemphigoid: current evidence and update on systematic review

Published: January 2025

Various studies have shown that individuals with bullous pemphigoid (BP) are more likely to develop venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, it is important to acknowledge that these studies primarily focused on individuals in Western nations, which restricts their generalization to a wider demographic. The present systematic review aims to assess the cumulative risk of VTE in individuals with BP compared to healthy individuals. PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases were searched for evidence-based research papers on BP and VTE. Eligibility criteria were based on the PICOS criteria. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale assessed methodological quality. After database searches, 115 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. A manual inquiry yielded an additional 11 articles. After removing duplicates (n=54), 72 publications underwent title and abstract evaluation, resulting in the exclusion of 44 manuscripts. Consequently, the remaining full-text articles were thoroughly examined. Following full-text screening, 9 publications were included. The studies were conducted in Denmark, the USA, the UK, Taiwan, and Italy. The findings enhanced the generalizability of the correlation between VTE and BP. Individuals with systemic autoimmune diseases were found to have a 1.5 to 4 times higher likelihood of developing VTE. The analysis revealed that patients with pemphigus face a twofold higher risk of VTE, especially within the first few years after diagnosis. These results may enhance the recognition of pulmonary embolism in BP patients and motivate the prevention of secondary risk markers associated with VTE. Given the morbidity, VTE risk in BP patients warrants greater attention in public healthcare.

Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) present a significant diagnostic challenge due to their location beyond the reach of traditional bronchoscopy. With lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, accurate and early diagnosis of PPLs is crucial. Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) combined with radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) has emerged as a promising technique to enhance the diagnostic yield for these lesions. This retrospective observational study evaluated the diagnostic yield of VBN-guided R-EBUS in patients with PPLs identified on computed tomography. The study included nine patients who underwent VBN-guided R-EBUS biopsy sampling. Patient demographics, lesion characteristics, and procedural outcomes were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean age of the patients was 57.33 years, with a mean lesion size of 3.24 cm. The diagnostic yield of VBN-guided R-EBUS was 77.7% (95% confidence interval: 68.5-85.8%). Non-small cell carcinoma was the most frequent histopathological diagnosis (55.5%). Complications included bleeding in two patients (22.2%) and bronchospasm in one patient (11.1%), all managed conservatively. VBN-guided R-EBUS provides high diagnostic accuracy and a low risk of complications in patients with PPLs.

Background:

Pottalis are a unique dosage form recommended for treating disease conditions requiring immediate attention and care. Ayurveda classics have described different Pottalis in the management of specific disease conditions. They have additional therapeutic attributes such as being highly effective in lesser doses, quick action, and good palatability. Thus, compiling brief information about such a unique dosage form is needed.

Materials and Methods:

Research works carried out at different institutes were searched through Shodhganga, and search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus were used to perform an extensive search of the scientific literature. Research works carried out on Pottali dosage forms were compiled and screened to gather information on pharmaceutical, analytical, and preclinical aspects. Pottali, Safety, and Ayurved were the keywords employed. Research works that have been published in the previous 10 years (2010–2023) were screened. Published research works involving pharmaceutical studies on Pottali dosage prepared through the sulfur bath method (Gandhaka Drava), analytical studies, and preclinical safety studies were considered for detailed review in the present study.

Results:

A total of 12 dissertation works and seven published research articles were found on Pottali Kalpana. It can be prepared at temperature ranges between 120 and 291°C. The average duration of heat treatment required for the preparation of Pottali is 3–12 h. The difference in their analytical profile is found as per their integral ingredients and method of preparation. Pottali dosage forms have promising safety and efficacy at therapeutic dose levels.

Conclusion:

It can be concluded that Pottali Kalpana is a unique dosage form in Ayurveda that can be easily prepared with a specific heating pattern in molten sulfur. They have different analytical profiles as per their integral components. They can be safely used at therapeutic doses with suitable adjuvants.

Pericardial cysts are rare medical conditions that typically go undetected, with an incidence rate of 1 in 100,000 cases. The majority of pericardial cysts (50%) do not cause any symptoms and rarely can lead to serious complications. A patient may have symptoms if the cyst presses on the heart or lungs. Shortness of breath, pain and heaviness in the chest, and persistent cough are symptoms of pericardial cysts. Patients with pericardial cysts are treated conservatively with surgery, percutaneous aspiration, and regular follow-up. Cysts often only need to be observed for increase in size; but, if they enlarge or start to cause symptoms, surgical removal may be required. A 33-year-old female with a pericardial cyst experienced sudden pressing chest pain during inspiration, chest heaviness, and difficulty breathing. Symptomatic relief of chest pain and difficulty in breathing was achieved within 5 h after taking Ayurvedic medication with induction of sound sleep on the same night. On the next morning, the patient was completely symptom-free with a feeling of lightness in the chest region. Symptomatic relief was observed from the symptomatic pericardial cyst with a single herbomineral formulation, that is, Vachadi Yoga (VY) in Churna (powder) form. Future clinical trials on the clinical management of symptomatic pericardial cysts by applying Ayurveda principles with (VY) administration are necessary to confirm and validate the results obtained in this case report.

Understanding the environmental factors that shape macroinvertebrate diversity is particularly important because rivers in the neotropics are continuously affected by changes in land use. The main objective of this work was to analyze how environmental variables associated with different levels of human activity shape the macroinvertebrate community in the Ranchería River. Various environmental variables were measured at each of the nine sampling stations distributed across three gradients of human activity in the Ranchería River Basin. The sampling design included three stations in the high elevation zone (P9, P8, P7; 595 to 308 masl), three in the medium elevation zone (P6, P5, P4; 153 to 112 masl), and three in the low elevation zone (P3, P2, P1; 90 to 22 masl). For aquatic macroinvertebrates, five monthly samples were taken from January to May 2010 from these nine stations. A total of 4,615 individuals were collected, distributed across 16 orders, 54 families, and 83 taxa. The taxa with the highest relative abundance were Simulium (Diptera), Melanoides sp. (Thiaridae), and Orthocladiinae (Diptera: Chironomidae), with 20, 11, and 9% respectively. It was found that anthropogenic impacts shape the environmental variables and the structure of macroinvertebrate communities in the Ranchería River Basin.

Vor der Familie: Grenzbedingungen einer modernen Institution
Authors: Koschorke Albrecht , Ghanbari Nacim , Eßlinger Eva , Susteck Sebastian , Taylor Michael Thomas
Published: January 2025

Die Familie hat sich als eine unerwartet stabile Institution erwiesen - trotz oder gerade wegen der Abgesänge, die regelmäßig auf sie angestimmt werden.
Diese Fortdauer beruht weniger auf einem durch Eltern- und Kinderliebe geprägten Innenleben als auf einem unablässigen Grenzverkehr, der zwischen der Familie und ihrer Außenwelt vermittelt. Er reguliert, welche Positionen und Dynamiken aus der Familie aus- und welche in sie einzuschließen sind. Und mit einem Mal zeigt sich, dass sich gerade an der Grenze zum Reich der Familie viele höchst unterschiedliche Fragen stellen: Um was für eine Art Beziehung handelt es sich bei der Ehe, wenn sie als bürgerlicher Vertrag verstanden wird? Wie verhält sich die Zeitlichkeit von Fortpflanzung und Sexualität zur erträumten Statik zeitloser Familienidyllen? Wie lässt sich das Dienstpersonal aus dem intimen Zirkel en famille ausschließen? Welche Veränderungen sind zu erwarten, wenn die Seitenverwandten - die Onkel, Tanten, Cousinen und Schwäger - der Familie ökonomisch assistieren? Und wie kann die Ehe ohne religiöse Sanktion gesellschaftliche Ordnung stiften? Lässt sich moderne Kindheit ohne den Schutzraum der bürgerlichen Kleinfamilie denken? Und last but not least: Welche Traumstoffe und Bilder werden in den Innenraum der Familie importiert und wie werden sie unter der Hand bereinigt?
Um das eigentümliche Überleben der Familie zu verstehen, muss man die Konstellationen untersuchen, in denen gerade Fragen nach den Grenzbedingungen der Familie virulent werden. Das tun die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses gemeinsam geschriebenen Buchs, indem sie die Familie in ihren historischen Formationen von der Ausbildung im 18. Jahrhundert bis hinein ins 20. Jahrhundert in den Blick nehmen. Dabei befragen sie literarische, sozialreformerische und medizinische Texte ebenso wie aufklärerische und rechtshistorische Abhandlungen.
Verheiratet mit einem Toten: Witwen und die AIDS-Krise in Sambia
Authors: Offe Johanna
Published: January 2025

Durch die verheerende AIDS-Epidemie im südlichen und östlichen Afrika steigt dort die Zahl junger Witwen, die oftmals selbst mit HIV infiziert sind und kleine Kinder versorgen müssen. Für die Witwe eines Verstorbenen ist die Zeit nach dem Tod des Mannes aber noch aus anderen Gründen gefährlich.
Durch den ehelichen Geschlechtsverkehr ist sie eng mit dem spirit des Mannes verbunden, der sich in ihrem Körper aufhält. Sie ist eine mukamfwilua und somit »verheiratet mit einem Toten«. Dieser Zustand endet erst, wenn ihre Verbindung zum verstorbenen Mann rituell aufgelöst wird. Die hieraus resultierenden Konflikte zwischen Witwen und ihrem Umfeld zeigen, dass die AIDS-Krise in Sambia nicht nur destabilisierende Folgen hat, sondern auch die Neubestimmung kultureller Grenzen notwendig macht.
Magie der Geschichten: Weltverkehr, Literatur und Anthropologie in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Neumann Michael , Stüssel Kerstin
Published: January 2025

Wie der Glaube an die Wirklichkeit der Literatur entsteht.

Im 19. Jahrhundert verwandelt sich die Welt: Eisenbahnen, Kolonialwaren, Telegraphen, illustrierte Zeitschriften, Panoramen und Photographien werden zu Medien eines globalisierten Bewusstseins, das Eigene im Verhältnis zum Fremden bestimmt. Darwinismus und Ethnographie stellen das überkommene Wissen vom Menschen in Frage.
Die zeitgenössische Literatur registriert und betreibt diese grundlegenden Veränderungen der Lebenswelt, die sie zugleich in einer »realistischen Magie« der Geschichten zu bewältigen sucht. Der dem 19. Jahrhundert schon abhanden gekommene Glaube an die »Wirklichkeit« der Literatur kehrt dadurch als Effekt der Globalisierung zurück.
In der realistischen Prosa, in Reiseberichten, Romanen, Novellen und Erzählungen werden Themen wie Kolonialisierung, Globalisierung, die Entstehung neuer Metropolen sowie die anthropologisch-biologische Neuformierung des Menschenbildes diskutiert, um die Frage nach Sinn und Ort des Menschen in einer Welt vervielfältigter Abhängigkeiten, Wechselwirkungen und Relativierungen neu zu stellen. Literaturwissenschaftler, Historiker und Soziologen gehen in den vorliegenden Fallstudien der Frage nach, was die Globalisierung für das Bild bedeutet, dass die Menschen sich von sich selbst und ihrer Geschichte machen. Thematisiert werden das Ineinander von Raumbegriffen und Aufschreibeverfahren, die Wechselwirkung von Gattungsgeschichten und Statistik, die Evolution neuer Dingkonzepte und irritierter Subjektvorstellungen, die globalisierte Kenntnisnahme von Sitten und Gebräuchen und die bürgerliche Selbstthematisierung von Ehe und Familiarität sowie die kulturelle Verhandlung dessen, was als völkerkundliche Fremderfahrung in den Zeitschriften des 19. Jahrhunderts begegnet.
