What is the relationship between sexual and other kinds of politics? Few societies have posed this puzzle as urgently, or as disturbingly, as Nazi Germany. What exactly were Nazism's sexual politics? Were they repressive for everyone, or were some individuals and groups given sexual license while others were persecuted, tormented, and killed? How do we make sense of the evolution of postwar interpretations of Nazism's sexual politics? What do we make of the fact that scholars from the 1960s to the present have routinely asserted that the Third Reich was "sex-hostile"? In response to these and other questions, Sex after Fascism fundamentally reconceives central topics in twentieth-century German history. Among other things, it changes the way we understand the immense popular appeal of the Nazi regime and the nature of antisemitism, the role of Christianity in the consolidation of postfascist conservatism in the West, the countercultural rebellions of the 1960s-1970s, as well as the negotiations between government and citizenry under East German communism.Beginning with a new interpretation of the Third Reich's sexual politics and ending with the revisions of Germany's past facilitated by communism's collapse, Sex after Fascism examines the intimately intertwined histories of capitalism and communism, pleasure and state policies, religious renewal and secularizing trends. A history of sexual attitudes and practices in twentieth-century Germany, investigating such issues as contraception, pornography, and theories of sexual orientation, Sex after Fascism also demonstrates how Germans made sexuality a key site for managing the memory and legacies of Nazism and the Holocaust.

In this pathbreaking work, Dagmar Herzog situates the birth of German liberalism in the religious conflicts of the nineteenth century. 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, Herzog demonstrates how profoundly Christianity's problematic relationships to Judaism and to sexuality shaped liberal, conservative, and radical thought in the pre-revolutionary years. In particular, she reveals how often conflicts over the private sphere and the "politics of the personal" determined larger political matters.Herzog documents the unexpected rise of a politically sophisticated religious right led by conservative Catholics, and explores liberals' ensuing eagerness to advance a humanist version of Christianity. Yet she also examines the limitations at the heart of the liberal project, as well as the difficulties encountered by philo-Semitic and feminist radicals as they strove to reconceptualize both classical liberalism and Christianity in order to make room for the claims of Jews and women. The book challenges fundamental assumptions about processes of secularization and religious renewal and about Jewish-Christian relations in German history.

Fritz Morgenthaler was a crucial figure in the return of psychoanalysis to post-Nazi Central Europe. An inspiring clinician and teacher to the New Left generation of 1968, he was the first European psychoanalyst since Freud to declare that homosexuality is not, indeed never, a pathology, and in Technik, developed revolutionary ideas for transforming clinical technique. On the Dialectics of Psychoanalytic Practice offers the first publication in English of this psychoanalytic, counterculture classic.Those who first picked up Technik encountered it at a historical moment when Marxist psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, popular New Left cultural critic Klaus Theweleit, and the texts of the Frankfurt School were already required reading. While not a political text in the same direct way, Morgenthaler’s Technik nonetheless shared many of their preoccupations and conclusions about human nature. It was read as technical guidance for psychoanalysts, but also as a manifesto dedicated to the problem of how it might be possible genuinely to live a postfascist, and nonfascist, existence. Morgenthaler was a protorelationalist who recombined the traditions of ego and self psychology as he retained a commitment to drive theory. Here Dagmar Herzog makes his work available to a new generation of analysts, providing essential source material, annotations, and groundbreaking analysis of the continued importance of the work for historians and therapeutic practitioners alike.On the Dialectics of Psychoanalytic Practice will interest practicing clinicians as well as intellectual historians and cultural studies scholars seeking to understand the return of psychoanalysis to post-Nazi Central Europe.

Capturing the human in painting Frans Hals is one of the most important portrait painters of all time. Like Rembrandt, the famous Dutch Baroque master’s striking portraits of the bourgeoisie and social outsiders are distinguished by their extraordinary vividness and accurate depiction. His sketch-like paintings, executed with bold brushstrokes, had a decisive influence on modernist painting. This comprehensive publication coincides with the first major survey exhibition of Hals’ oeuvre in more than thirty years.

Alkemins etymologiska rötter återfinns både i de arabiska och grekiska språken, och syftar på den process av transmutation som leder till en fullständig återförening med den gudomliga ursprungsformen. Dock sträcker sig det esoteriska utövandet av alkemi ända till Indien och Kina och har praktiserats åtminstone sedan 300-talet.
Under medeltiden lockade alkemi många av tidens mest framstående lärda. Starkt influerade av den klassiska elementläran drev alkemisterna sina hypoteser utifrån Aristoteles idé att allt går att skapa genom olika proportioner av de fyra elementen.
Från 1800-talet och framåt har alkemin felaktigt reducerats till en primitiv pseudovetenskap med det enda målet att omvandla oädla metaller till guld. Denna snäva tolkning bortser dock från alkemins verkliga komplexitet och ignorerar dess djupa filosofiska och religiösa aspekter, samt dess avgörande bidrag till kemins framväxt.
I denna rikt illustrerade antologi presenteras en mångfald av perspektiv på hur ömsesidighet, metafysiska kopplingar och relationen mellan makrokosmos och mikrokosmos utgör kärnan i alkemins filosofi. Några av världens mest framstående forskare och akademiker samlas för att analysera den alkemistiska världsbilden och utforska hur esoteriska tankeströmningar har format kultur, samhälle och vetenskap. Boken finns även i engelsk utgåva.

Historiemedvetandet har skiftat mellan olika tider beroende på sociala, ekonomiska, politiska och teknologiska villkor. Dessa skiften har sin grund i olika historiografiska praktiker, minnestekniker och minnesfunktioner, och historiografin och minnet måste därmed själva historiseras. För att förstå historiemedvetandets förändringar blir det därför avgörande att undersöka vilka medier, tekniker och historiografiska praktiker som har använts för att göra en plats meningsfull genom att tilldela den en historia och därmed göra den minnesbärande. På så sätt kan platsen betecknas som ett monument, ett kulturarv eller en minnesinstitution och därmed skiljas från andra platser. Monumentet och dess gränsdragningar är centrala i hela den västliga estetiken, från skulpturens sockel till måleriets ram, men också i religiösa praktiker, inom institutioner som museet samt i hemmet. Dessa tekniker och praktiker för minnes- och historieproduktion är ofta omdebatterade och sociala, ekonomiska, politiska och teknologiska villkor skapar både möjligheter och sätter gränser för historiemedvetandet under en viss epok så även vår egen. I "Minne, medier och materialitet", som är den tredje fristående delen i trebandsverket "Historiens hemvist", fokuserar fjorton forskare på minnespolitiska och historiografiska implikationer och mediala praktiker. De utgår från museer, arkiv, litterära och konstnärliga gestaltningar, liksom från rymden, i sina försök att tydliggöra de historiografiska praktikernas påverkan på vårt historiemedvetande och således på vårt sätt att minnas och förstå medier, platser och föremål som minnesbärande "monument". Volymen är redigerad av Johan Hegardt, docent i arkeologi och forskare vid Institutionen för kultur och lärande, Södertörns högskola, och Trond Lundemo, docent i filmvetenskap vid Institutionen för mediestudier, Stockholms universitet, båda knutna till forskningsprogrammet "Tid, minne, representation".

Hårdband med skyddsomslag. 194 sidor. Rikt illustrerad med foton i svartvitt och i färg.År 1908 hittas en ung kvinna mördad under mystiska omständigheter på en åker i utkanterna av Helsingborg, strypt och placerad ovanpå sin långa röda kappa. Hon hade senast setts i sällskap med en okänd man natten mellan den 7 och 8 februari, mitt under årets värsta snöoväder. Kvinnan visar sig vara 20-åriga Dagmar Kofoed från Köpenhamn, som tillsammans med två väninnor regelbundet trafikerade Öresund för att extraknäcka som prostituerade på stadens gator. Helsingborgspolisen missköter utredningen vilket leder till en praktfull skandal och omorganisation där den nye kriminalkommissarien Henrik Stjernström återupptar fallet och drar igång jakten på gärningsmannen. Han lyckas spåra upp en dansk sexualmördare som varit i Helsingborg vid tidpunkten och som visar sig vara dömd för andra brott. Men är han verkligen den skyldige? Och vad var det egentligen som hände den där stormiga februarinatten? Vem var Dagmar Kofoed, flickan som en gång drömde om att bli sångerska men hamnade snett i tillvaron?Mordet på Dagmar Kofoed kom att bli ett av Helsingborgs mest uppmärksammade olösta mysterier som det talades om i generationer. Lokal- och kriminalhistorikern Glenn Lauritz Andersson har studerat händelsen och via fängelserullor, arkivkällor, tidningsartiklar och släktforskningsmaterial kartlagt den olyckliga Dagmar Kofoeds liv och bakgrund hemma i Köpenhamn – en resa som tar oss tillbaka till stadens undre värld, dess syndiga varietéer och det tidiga 1900-talets hårda livsvillkor för de kvinnor som levde utanför samhället. Berättelsen är en medryckande och färgstark skildring av ett fascinerande levnadsöde och baserad på djupgående research i originalkällor. Denna fjärde upplaga innehåller mycket nytt bildmaterial och uppdaterad information från nya källor.

Det är inte nödvändigt att ha tillgång till en jättestor trädgård för att kunna odla för både nytta och nöje. Det räcker gott och väl med en liten villaträdgård eller en kolonilott för att få fram vackra blommor och egna ekologiska och närproducerade grönsaker, frukt och bär. Boken förmedlar tips och praktiska erfarenheter med odling som bedrivs i liten skala och som därför kan bli mycket intensiv. I text och bilder får vi följa kolonilottsodlare i deras arbete med jordbearbetning, planering, förberedelser och den praktiska skötseln. Boken tipsar om hur man sätter upp och sköter pallkragar, skapar upphöjda odlingsbäddar och hur och när man ska gödsla. Jordförbättring, marktäckning, naturgödsling, bokashikompostering, kallsådd, förodling och andra sätt att bedriva hållbar och effektiv odling tas upp i boken. Att odla egna grönsaker och bli självförsörjande är en mycket tillfredställande fritidssysselsättning för allt fler. Trädgårdsodling är en trend som ligger i tiden.

Dagmar Lange, lektor vid Nya Elementarskolan och filosofie doktor i litteraturhistoria, klev 1949 in i offentligheten som deckarförfattaren Maria Lang. Hon satte en ny standard för den svenska deckaren och under fyra decennier kom varje höst en ny Maria Lang-deckare. Under terminerna var Dagmar Lange lärare och studierektor i Stockholm och på somrarna deckarförfattare i hemstaden Nora, i böckerna känd som Skoga. I biografin ställs frågan vad den dubbla identiteten innebär och här spelar deckarna en viktig roll. Motiven är ofta starka känslor som går överstyr och leder till mord. Passioner och dramatik var långt från Dagmar Langes noga inrutade tillvaro men deckarnas starka känslor kan spåras i egna händelser och upplevelser. En dubbel identitet skapas, Dagmar Lange, alias Maria Lang, som tillsammans utgör en enastående kvinna.

A comprehensive overview of Ayurveda.Modern and Global Ayurveda provides an overview of the relatively recent history of Ayurveda in its modern and globalized forms. One of the traditional medical systems originating on the Indian subcontinent, Ayurveda is fast becoming a transnational phenomenon. Contributors to this volume include both scholars and practitioners of Ayurveda. The wide range of perspectives they offer include the philosophical, anthropological, sociopolitical, economic, biomedical, and pharmacological. Issues such as the ideological clashes between "classical" and "modernized" Ayurveda, the "export" of Ayurvedic medical lore to Western countries, and the possible "reimport" of its adapted and reinterpreted contents are covered and prove particularly relevant to contemporary discussion on the integration of complementary and alternative health care.
Unlearning Eugenics
Sexuality, Reproduction, and Disability in Post-Nazi Europe

Since the defeat of the Nazi Third Reich and the end of its horrific eugenics policies, battles over the politics of life, sex, and death have continued and evolved. Dagmar Herzog documents how reproductive rights and disability rights, both latecomers to the postwar human rights canon, came to be seen as competing—with unexpected consequences.Bringing together the latest findings in Holocaust studies, the history of religion, and the history of sexuality in postwar—and now also postcommunist—Europe, Unlearning Eugenics shows how central the controversies over sexuality, reproduction, and disability have been to broader processes of secularization and religious renewal. Herzog also restores to the historical record a revelatory array of activists: from Catholic and Protestant theologians who defended abortion rights in the 1960s–70s to historians in the 1980s–90s who uncovered the long-suppressed connections between the mass murder of the disabled and the Holocaust of European Jewry; from feminists involved in the militant ""cripple movement"" of the 1980s to lawyers working for right-wing NGOs in the 2000s; and from a handful of pioneers in the 1940s–60s committed to living in intentional community with individuals with cognitive disability to present-day disability self-advocates.

Drawing on a selection of the most important Sanskrit alchemical works from the ninth to sixteenth centuries, Indian Alchemy: Sources and Contexts provides an introduction to South Asian alchemy, tracing and explaining alchemical thought as it developed on the Indian subcontinent. Carefully edited by Dagmar Wujastyk, the collected essays offer deep insight into the motivations and goals of Indian alchemists and illuminate the theories and methods they developed over time. The collection provides an overview of the genre of Sanskrit alchemical literature, examining how Indian alchemists portrayed and defined their discipline. Translations of excerpts from important Sanskrit alchemical works showcase the most common themes found in the literature--such as the framing of alchemy as a knowledge system originating from &Sacuteiva, a focus on mercury, and technical descriptions of making elixirs--and reveal the characteristic style of each work.Indian Alchemy serves to expand readers' understanding of what it meant to practice alchemy on the Indian subcontinent. With its broad selection of examined themes, this collection offers a detailed and comprehensive investigation of the Indian alchemical idiom and the beliefs and practices of its practitioners.

How does the chemical description of a protein relate to its three-dimensional structure? How does the three-dimensional structure relate to the machinery that brings about a chemical reaction? How does the sequence of a gene encode not only the sequence of a protein but, more importantly, the architecture and function of that protein?Protein Structure and Function provides a clear and critical survey of our current understanding of the structure and function of proteins to answer questions such as these. Opening with a consideration of the link between protein sequence and structure, it goes on to explore the structural basis of protein function and how this function is controlled. Finally, it examines a range of case studies that illuminate the range of roles performed by proteins, and the diverse structures these proteins exhibit.Protein Structure and Function combines articulate prose with striking full colour illustrations, while the unique Primers in Biology modular structure integrates text, illustrations, definitions, and literature references for each topic into one double-page spread, bringing to the student's fingertips all the tools that they need to master that topic.Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre features figures from the book available to download, for registered adopters of the book.

Dagmar Wujastyk explores the moral discourses on the practice of medicine in the foundational texts of Ayurveda. The classical ayurvedic treatises were composed in Sanskrit between the first and the fifth centuries CE, and the later works, dating into the sixteenth century CE, were still considered strongly authoritative. As Wujastyk shows, these works testify to an elaborate system of medical ethics and etiquette. Physicians looked to the ayurvedic treatises for a guide to professional conduct. Ayurvedic discourses on good medical practice depict the physician as highly-educated, skilled, moral, and well-mannered. The rules of conduct positioned physicians within mainstream society's and characterized medical practice as a trustworthy and socially acceptable profession. At the same time, professional success was largely based on a particular physician's ability to cure his patients. This resulted in tension, as some treatments and medications were considered socially or religiously unacceptable. Doctors needed to treat their patients successfully while ostensibly following the rules of acceptable behavior. Wujastyk offers insight into the many unorthodox methods of avoiding conflict while ensuring patient compliance shown in the ayurvedic treatises, giving a disarmingly candid perspective on the realities of medical practice and its crucial role in a profoundly well-mannered society.

The last decades of the Ming dynasty, though plagued by chaos and destruction, saw a significant increase in publications that examined advances in knowledge and technology. Among the numerous guides and reference books that appeared during this period was a series of texts by Song Yingxing (1587-1666?), a minor local official living in southern China. His Tiangong kaiwu, the longest and most prominent of these works, documents the extraction and processing of raw materials and the manufacture of goods essential to everyday life, from yeast and wine to paper and ink to boats, carts, and firearms. In The Crafting of the 10,000 Things, Dagmar Schafer probes this fascinating text and the legacy of its author to shed new light on the development of scientific thinking in China, the purpose of technical writing, and its role in and effects on Chinese history.

The last decades of the Ming dynasty, though plagued by chaos and destruction, saw major advances in knowledge and technology. Among the numerous guides and reference books that appeared during this period was a series of texts by Song Yingxing (1587-1666?), a minor local official living in southern China. His "Tiangong kaiwu", the longest and most prominent of these works, documents the extraction and processing of raw materials, and the manufacture of goods essential to everyday life, from pearls and wine to boats, carts, and firearms. In "The Crafting of the 10,000 Things Dagmar Schafer" probes this fascinating text and the legacy of its author to shed new light on the development of scientific thinking in China, the purpose of technical writing, and its role in and effects on Chinese history. Meticulously unfolding the layers of Song's personal and cultural life, Schafer places the Tiangong kaiwu squarely in its original milieu - both practically and theoretically - and thus develops a new understanding of scientific and technological thinking. Even as she vividly sets the Chinese scene, Schafer offers incisive comparisons between seventeenth-century China and Europe.Sinologists and historians of science alike will be engrossed by this book, the first to place Song's writing in a broader context.
