Paperback. Condition: New. The sibling stands out as a ubiquitous-yet unacknowledged-conceptual touchstone across the European long nineteenth century. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, Europeans embarked on a new way of classifying the world, devising genealogies that determined degrees of relatedness by tracing heritage through common ancestry. This methodology organized historical systems into family trees in a wide array of new disciplines, transforming into siblings the closest contemporaneous terms on trees of languages, religions, races, nations, species, or individuals. In literature, a sudden proliferation of siblings-often incestuously inclined-negotiated this confluence of knowledge and identity. In all genealogical systems the sibling term, not quite same and not quite other, serves as an active fault line, necessary for and yet continuously destabilizing definition and classification.In her provocative book, Stefani Engelstein argues that this pervasive relational paradigm shaped the modern subject, life sciences, human sciences, and collective identities such as race, religion, and gender. The insecurity inherent to the sibling structure renders the systems it underwrites fluid. It therefore offers dynamic potential, but also provokes counterreactions such as isolationist theories of subjectivity, the political exclusion of sisters from fraternal equality, the tyranny of intertwined economic and kinship theories, conflicts over natural kinds and evolutionary speciation, and invidious anthropological and philological classifications of Islam and Judaism. Integrating close readings across the disciplines with panoramic intellectual history and arresting literary interpretations, Sibling Action presents a compelling new understanding of systems of knowledge and provides the foundation for less confrontational formulations of belonging, identity, and agency.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In diesem Heft wird die verwandtschaftliche Figur der Schwester zum Ausgangspunkt fuer Analysen gesellschaftlicher Praktiken und Wandlungsprozesse zwischen dem 15. und dem 20. Jahrhundert. Die Beitraege umfassen rechts-, wissens- und emotionengeschichtliche Perspektiven. Sie fragen nach der Position von Schwestern im Transfergeschehen von Herrschaft und Besitz, nach ihrer Funktion fuer rassistisch strukturierte Gesellschaftsordnungen und moderne Epistemologien sowie nach der Rolle von Emotionen fuer schwesterliche Konkurrenz in familiaeren Rangordnungen. Damit wird zugleich ein Verstaendnis von Schwesterlichkeit hinterfragt, das Rivalitaeten und Machtverhaeltnisse ausblendet und nur wenig dazu beitraegt, Vorstellungen von einer binaeren Geschlechterordnung zu unterlaufen, der die Idee der linearen Verwandtschaft (Vater-Mutter-Kind-Ketten) zugrunde liegt.Aus dem Inhalt: Leibliche Schwestern und Schwaegerinnen in der fruehneuzeitlichen Fuerstengesellschaft des Heiligen Roemischen Reiches / Gender, Anger and Sisterhood in Letters by Karoline von Guenderrode and her Sisters / Geschwister und Geschwisterlichkeit in der Epistemologie der Moderne / Briefe zwischen Schwestern. Adelige Korrespondenzpraxis Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts / Im Gespraech mit Luisa Passerini. This issue takes the family figure of the sister as its starting point for the analysis of social practices and transformation processes between the 15th and 20th Century. Its articles feature perspectives from legal, emotional and knowledge frameworks. They question the position of sisters during the transfer events of domination and ownership, their function within racially structured social orders and modern epistemologies, thereby addressing the role that emotions play for sisterly rivalry within familial rankings. At the same time, the issue investigates an understanding of sisterliness which blocks out rivalries and power relations and only minimally undermines the notions of a binary gender order based upon the linear relationship concept (father-mother-child chains).
