Sommario/riassunto

Der Band knüpft an das wissenshistorisch und praxeologisch orientierte Interesse an Genealogie an, wie es vor allem in der Geschichte der Vormoderne der letzten Jahre formuliert wurde. Dabei wird in den Blick genommen, wie sich im Bereich der Genealogie die Verschränkung und gegenseitige Beeinflussung wissenschaftlicher und populärer Praktiken, etwa in Vereinen, auswirkte. Genealogische Forschungspraxis wurde zudem als Wissensfeld in historischen, sozialwissenschaftlichen, naturwissenschaftlichen und medizinischen Fächern genutzt. Wie zirkulierte genealogisches Wissen zwischen Vereinen, Universitäten, religiösen und staatlichen Behörden und Archiven seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, und für welche gesellschaftlichen Ordnungsvorstellungen wurde es verwendet? Wie dynamisieren der Medienwandel und Strategien des Open Access in Archiven die Produktion von Genealogien? Mit Beiträgen von Bertram Fink, Manfred Gailus, Bernd Gausemeier, Michael Hecht, Katrin Heil, Amos Kuster, Daniel Menning, Niklas Regenbrecht, Jan Ripke, Nicolas Rügge, Jan Ruhkopf, Astrit Schmidt-Burkhardt, Marianne Sommer, Elisabeth Timm, Fiona Vicent.

What was the significance of searching for and finding "family" and kinship through the ages? Which methods and strategies did actors use to produce relational connections, and into what structures and discourses can these practices be categorized? This volume takes up new insights from research into premodernity based on the history of



knowledge and praxeology.

Sommario/riassunto

Over the last decades, the study of extremophiles has providing ground breaking discoveries that challenge the paradigms of modern biology and make us rethink intriguing questions such as "what is life?", "what are the limits of life?", and "what are the fundamental features of life?". The mechanisms by which different microorganisms adapt to extreme environments provide a unique perspective on the fundamental characteristics of biological processes present in most species. Extremophiles are also critical for evolutionary studies related to the origins of life, since they form a cluster on the base of the tree of life.  Furthermore, the application of extremophiles in industrial processes has opened a new era in biotechnology. The study of extreme environments has become a key area of research for astrobiology. Extremophiles may help us understand what form life takes on other planetary bodies in our own solar system and beyond. These findings and possibilities have made the study of life in extreme environments one of the most exciting areas of research in recent decades. However, despite the latest advances we are just in the beginning of exploring and characterizing the world of extremophiles. This special issue



covers all aspects of life in extreme environments. The submission of scientific perspectives, comprehensive reviews or research articles is most welcome.
