Dieses Buch ist ein Experiment. Es unternimmt den Versuch, eine Geistesgeschichte der geistigen Beeinträchtigung zu schreiben, indem es die Debatten über den Wert behinderten Lebens nachzeichnet, wie sie in den letzten 150 Jahren geführt wurden.

Die Eugenik zu verlernen, hat sich in Deutschland als ein außerordentlich zäher Prozess erwiesen, der bis heute nicht abgeschlossen ist.

Hitzige Kämpfe tobten in der Folge des Zweiten Weltkrieges um das Erbe Sigmund Freuds. Die verspätete Aufarbeitung des Nationalsozialismus, die sexuelle Revolution und die Dekolonisation stießen fundamentale Transformationsprozesse in der psychoanalytischen Theorie an, die ihrerseits auf die Kultur zurückwirkten. Von den USA über Europa bis nach Lateinamerika schildert Dagmar Herzog die Deutungskämpfe einer Zunft, deren konkurrierende Theorien über Begehren, Angst, Aggression, Lust und Trauma mal konservativen, mal subversiven Zielen dienten - und hält damit ein innovatives...

During the years leading up to the revolutions of 1848, liberal and conservative Germans engaged in a contest over the terms of the Enlightenment legacy and the meaning of Christianity--a contest that grew most intense in the Grand Duchy of Baden, where liberalism first became an influential political movement. Bringing insights drawn from Jewish and women's studies into German history, Dagmar Herzog demonstrates how centrally Christianity's problematic relationships to Judaism and to sexuality shaped liberal, conservative, and radical thought in the pre-revolutionary years. In particular,...

The interrelationship of fascism and sexuality has attracted a great deal of interest for some time now. This collection offers fresh perspectives by leading scholars on the history of sexuality under national socialism on such topics as the persecution of Jewish-gentile sex in the "race defilement" trials, homophobic propaganda and the prosecution of same-sex activity within the Wehrmacht and SS, representations of female sexuality in film, prostitution on home and battle fronts, sexual relations between Germans and foreign forced laborers, and reproductive practices among Jewish...
