Gebundener Originalpappband. Condition: Wie neu. Auflage: 1. 288 Seiten Frisches und sauberes Exemplar. This book addresses a research gap in the study of eugenics in fictional literature: the analysis of the nexus of eugenics and genetics in 21st-century novels, detached from their authors ideological beliefs. It is based on an understanding of literature as an interdiscourse in Jürgen Links sense. The study employs categories developed by Rabinow and Rose in the context of Foucaults concept of biopower. It thereby demonstrates that, though officially fallen from grace in light of the Nazi atrocities committed in the name of racial hygiene, eugenic ideas remain surprisingly resilient in the sciences as well as in fiction. Thus, the nexus between eugenics and genetics continues to serve as an important force in the structuring of scientific and contemporary popular (inter-)discourses.1. Introduction .13 2.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Sebastians Welt steht Kopf: Seine Schwester Katharina wird angegriffen und Großmutter Helena taucht unter. Drohbriefe offenbaren einen Zusammenhang: Ein lang gewahrtes Geheimnis hat Helena eingeholt und zieht ihre Enkel in einen Strudel verhängnisvoller Ereignisse. Die grotesken Blüten der Spinnenorchideen, die den Drohungen beiliegen, führen die Geschwister in die Vergangenheit nach 1950. Zu einem Gerüst aus Lügen und Illusionen. Und zu einer Unbekannten, deren Schicksal das Leben der beiden für immer verändern wird. Doch das Unheil kommt stetig näher.
