Body - Language - Communication. Volume 2
Volume II of the handbook offers a unique collection of exemplary case studies. In five chapters and 99 articles it presents the state of the art on how body movements are used for communication around the world. Topics include the functions of body movements, their contexts of occurrence, their forms and meanings, their integration with speech, and how bodily motion can function as language. By including an interdisciplinary chapter on ‘embodiment’, volume II explores the body and its role in the grounding of language and communication from one of the most widely discussed current theoretical perspectives. Volume II of the handbook thus entails the following chapters: VI. Gestures acros...
Sexueller Missbrauch, Misshandlung, Vernachlässigung
Sexueller Missbrauch, Misshandlung und Vernachlässigung von Kindern mit ihren oft verheerenden Folgen im Erwachsenenalter sind emotional hoch besetzte Themen. Ihre Diskussion oszilliert zwischen Überbewertung und Verleugnung. In der Polarität von Instrumentalisierung, Bagatellisierung und Politisierung, von Idealisierung der Opfer und Dämonisierung der Täter folgt das Buch dem nüchternen Pfad der Erkenntnis, leistet eine sachliche Bestandsaufnahme und sammelt, was heute über die Rolle dieser Faktoren für die Entstehung späterer Krankheiten bekannt und gesichert ist. Auf der Grundlage wissenschaftlich fundierter Studien geben die Autoren aus psychiatrischer, schulenübergreifend psyc...
Performance and Performativity in German Cultural Studies
This volume assembles the select proceedings of an international conference held at the University of Cambridge in March 2002. The conference took its cue from the 'performative turn', which has put issues of performance and performativity at the centre of current academic debate in the humanities. The volume aims to show the ways in which German Studies have been turning towards questions of the performative in recent years. On the one hand, this involves an increased interest in the performing arts in the scholarship and teaching of German Studies and a growing understanding of the literary text too, as a performed process as much as a finished object, on the other, an incorporation of theories of performativity, not least in the area of gender and sexuality. The essays cover a range of performance media (theatre, film, performance art, photography) as well as the representation of turns or acts of performance in literary texts from Goethe to key contemporary writers. Together, they indicate exciting new ways forward for German Cultural Studies.

From Skepticism to Competence
"While many doctors can examine the body for cut-and-dry data-a cardiologist can take a scan of the heart, an endocrinologist can measure the hormones in your blood, an oncologist can locate a tumor--psychiatrists are in a unique position: the only way to know someone's mind is through their own account of it. In this ethnography, sociologist Mariana Craciun follows a group of young medical students studying psychiatry as they go through training in psychotherapy. Their instructors, experienced psychotherapists, introduce approaches designed to uncover the inner workings of the mind of each patient, a dramatic departure from the students' earlier focus on the brain's chemical functions and the drugs that treat them. Despite the uncertainty endemic to psychotherapeutic approaches, Craciun shows us how students transform from psychotherapy skeptics into believers. Ultimately, Craciun illuminates widespread conflicts at the intersection of professional authority, uncertainty, and expertise, as we see how professionals come to rethink the goals and purpose of their jobs when they acknowledge the uncertain outcomes of their work"--
Neural processing of emotion in multimodal settings
Our everyday life is characterized by a multitude of emotionally relevant cues that we perceive and communicate via various sensory channels. This does not only encompass the obvious cases of auditory and visual modalities, but also olfactory, gustatory, and even tactile stimuli. Any kind of emotional situation in a natural setting is usually a multimodal experience: A friend welcomes us with warm words, a smile, and a happy voice; the sight of our favourite food is accompanied by a seductive smell and a delicious taste; the thrill of watching an exciting movie scene is intensified by a gripping soundtrack. In these situations, the signals from various senses do not stand on their own; they ...
The History of Cancer and Emotions in Twentieth-Century Germany
Different people feel different emotions when they are diagnosed with cancer. Both today and a century ago, fear and hope, shame and disgust, sadness and joy are and were the emotions experienced by many cancer patients and their loved ones. But these emotions do not just have significance for the people who feel them. They have also exerted a surprisingly profound influence on how hospitals and laboratories dealt with cancer, how early detection campaigns portrayed it, and how doctors talked about it with their patients. Bettina Hitzer details the history of cancer and emotions in twentieth-century Germany and thus follows the cancer-associated transformations of emotional regimes, emotional politics, and emotional experiences through five different political systems. In doing so, the study underscores that political caesuras resonate in the immediate corporeality of the history of emotions.
Körpererleben und Körperbild
Die Forschung zum Thema Körpererleben und Körperbild erfährt derzeit einen wachsenden Stellenwert. Sie etabliert sich zu einem bedeutenden Forschungsfeld innerhalb der Klinischen Psychologie, Psychiatrie und Neurologie. Dieser Entwicklung trägt das von führenden Experten der Körperbildforschung geschriebene Handbuch Rechnung. Es beschreibt erstmalig alle im deutschsprachigen Raum verfügbaren Methoden für die Diagnostik von Erkrankungen, bei denen das Körpererleben eine entscheidende Rolle spielt, wie etwa bei Essstörungen, somatoformen Störungen, Depressionen und Trauma-Syndromen mit dissoziativer Symptomatik.Die Verfahren - z.B. Selbstbeurteilungsfragebögen, Fremdeinschätzungsinstrumente, Interviewverfahren - werden praxisnah und verständlich präsentiert, ihre Anwendungsbereiche differenziert dargestellt. Ebenso fundiert werden die Grundlagen der Körperbilddiagnostik aus psychologischer, psychiatrischer, neurobiologischer und psychoanalytischer Sicht zusammengefasst.Als wichtiges Referenzwerk bietet "Körpererleben und Körperbild" einen reichhaltigen Wissensfundus für alle in diesem Fachgebiet tätigen Therapeuten, Kliniker und Wissenschaftler.
