Sommario/riassunto |
|
This is the first critical edition of the works of Andrew Lang (1844-1912), the Scottish writer whose enormous output spanned the whole range of late-nineteenth century intellectual culture. Neglected since his death, partly because of the diversity of his interests and the volume of his writing, his cultural centrality and the interdisciplinary nature of his work make him a vital figure for contemporary scholars.This volume covers Lang's wide and influential engagement with the central areas of late nineteenth-century anthropology. Lang made decisive interventions in debates around the meaning of folk tales and |

the origins of religion, as well as being an important figure in the investigation of spiritualist claims through psychical research. The work reproduced here includes journalism, essays, extracts from books and previously unpublished letters which together articulate and challenge some of the central ideas and discussions of the period, including evolution, the relation between modern and non-modern cultures, the nature of scientific claims to truth, and the consequences of materialism. The volume will provide new and illuminating ways of understanding and assessing the period for scholars across a range of disciplines, including those interested in the histories of the fairy story, of science, of the occult, of colonialism and of anthropology. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Larissa Pfaller geht der Frage nach, warum moderne Anti-Aging-Maßnahmen trotz fehlender medizinischer Evidenz eine stabile Anwender- und Anhängerschaft finden. Dabei führt sie die Anziehungskraft und Attraktivität des Anti-Agings auf eine symbolische Wirkmacht zurück, die weit über eine rein medizinische Wirksamkeit hinausweist. Die Autorin rekonstruiert, welchen Stellenwert Anti-Aging-Praktiken in der Biographie der AnwenderInnen einnehmen, wie diese sinnhaft in den gelebten Alltag integriert werden und diesen mitstrukturieren, welche Werte damit verknüpft sind und wie sich dies im Leben der AnwenderInnen schließlich zu einer stimmigen Form der Lebensführung zusammenfügt. Der Inhalt Das paradoxe Phänomen des Kampfes gegen das Alter(n) Alterserscheinungen bekämpfen und vorbeugen Körperliche Inszenierung von Disziplin und Selbstsorge Kritische Gerontologie Boom, Kritik und Krise der modernen Biomedizin Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Soziologie, der Kulturwissenschaften Praktiker aus diesen Bereichen Die AutorIn Larissa Pfaller ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Soziologie der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. |
