Reis door de hel der onschuldigen

Tegen het einde van de negentiende eeuw laaide in noordwest Europa een heftige discussie op over de toelaatbaarheid van medisch-wetenschappelijke proeven op levende dieren (vivisectie). Op de golven van deze commotie werden in een aantal landen anti-vivisectie-organisaties opgericht. Deze probeerden een praktijk te bestrijden waar maar een zeer klein aantal mensen mee bekend was. Dierproeven werden verricht in laboratoria en collegezalen, in ruimten die niet voor publiek toegankelijk waren. Er was dan ook nauwelijks iemand die, zoals een anti-vivisectionist het rond 1900 uitdrukte, 'de verborgen zonden van de vivisectoren' kende. De bestrijders van vivisectie beschouwden het daarom als hun t...

In Western Europe, populist radical right parties are calling for a return to Christian or Judeo-Christian values and identity. The growing electoral success of many of these parties may suggest that, after decades of secularisation, Western Europeans are returning to religion. Yet these parties do not tell their supporters to go to church, believe in God, or practise traditional Christian values. Instead, they claim that their respective national identities and cultures are the product of a Christian or Judeo-Christian tradition which either encompasses—or has produced—secular modernity. This book poses the question: if Western European politics is secular, why has religious identity be...

Is there a Judeo-Christian Tradition?

The term ‘Judeo-Christian’ in reference to a tradition, heritage, ethic, civilization, faith etc. has been used in a wide variety of contexts with widely diverging meanings. Contrary to popular belief, the term was not coined in the United States in the middle of the 20th century but in 1831 in Germany by Ferdinand Christian Baur. By acknowledging and returning to this European perspective and context, the volume engages the historical, theological, philosophical and political dimensions of the term’s development. Scholars of European intellectual history will find this volume timely and relevant.

Postcolonial Netherlands

"The Netherlands is home to one million citizens with roots in the former colonies Indonesia, Suriname and the Antilles. Entitlement to Dutch citizenship, pre-migration acculturation in Dutch language and culture as well as a strong rhetorical argument ('We are here because you were there') were strong assets of the first generation. This 'postcolonial bonus' indeed facilitated their integration. In the process, the initial distance to mainstream Dutch culture diminished. Postwar Dutch society went through serious transformations. Its once lily white population now includes two million non-Western migrants and the past decade witnessed heated debates about multiculturalism. The most importan...

The Maternal Image of God in Victorian Literature

This book is the study of a religious metaphor: the idea of God as a mother, in British and US literature 1850–1915. It uncovers a tradition of writers for whom divine motherhood embodied ideals felt to be missing from the orthodox masculine deity. Elizabeth Gaskell, Josephine Butler, George Macdonald, Frances Hodgson Burnett and Charlotte Perkins Gilman independently reworked their inherited faith to create a new symbol that better met their religious needs, based on ideal Victorian notions of motherhood and ‘Mother Nature’. Divine motherhood signified compassion, universal salvation and a realised gospel of social reform led primarily by women to establish sympathetic community. Conn...

Genezen

In de woorden van Marijke Gijswijt-Hofstra is ‘ziekte van alle tijden en culturen, maar wat als zodanig wordt beschouwd is variabel en aan verandering onderhevig. Dat geldt evenzeer voor het handelen tot behoud of herstel van gezondheid.’ Genezen is een cultureel bepaald proces dat raakt aan opvattingen over pijn, lijden, sterfelijkheid, maatschappelijk idealisme, geloof, lot, angst en tegenspoed. De vraag hoe ‘genezen’ in de geschiedenis is vormgegeven, behoeft dan ook een interdisciplinaire blik. Marijke Gijswijt-Hofstra heeft daar altijd voor gepleit. Met succes. Mede dankzij haar inspanningen wordt de sociale geschiedenis van de geneeskunde in Nederland steeds breder erkend als een belangrijk onderzoeksterrein. Marijke Gijswijts emeritaat is een goed moment om de vruchtbaarheid van de door haar voorgestane benadering te onderstrepen. Daarom reflecteren geesteswetenschappers en sociale wetenschappers uit Nederland en het buitenland in dit boek op het brede en weerbarstige thema ‘genezen’.
