Abstract

In den 1970er Jahren trat die Frauengesundheitsbewegung als kreative feministische Strömung in Erscheinung, die das männlich dominierte Gesundheitssystem radikal infrage stellte. Ausgehend von aktivistischen Selbstzeugnissen und Interviews können Anliegen, Ziele und Aktionsformen des Protestes von einst genauer beleuchtet werden. In den Schilderungen zwischen Aufbegehren und Professionalisierung zeigt sich: Kritik kann als Politikum dieser sozialen Bewegung gelten. Susanne Boehm legt eine erste gebündelte Betrachtung der bundesdeutschen Frauengesundheitsbewegung vor, die exemplarisch an einem Gesundheitszentrum Berlins ansetzt und zugleich den größeren Diskurs erhellt.

Abstract

"In the first half of the sixteenth century, the Low Countries saw the rise of a lively market for practical and instructive books that targeted non-specialist readers. This study shows how woodcuts in vernacular books on medicine and astrology fulfilled important rhetorical functions in knowledge communication. These images guided readers' perceptions of the organisation, visualisation, and reliability of knowledge. Andrea van Leerdam uncovers the assumptions and intentions of book producers to which images testify, and shows how actual readers engaged with these illustrated books. Drawing on insights from the field of information design studies, she scrutinises the books' material characteristics, including their lay-outs and traces of use, to shed light on the habits and interests of early modern readers. She situates these works in a culture where medicine and astrology were closely interwoven in daily life and where both book producers and readers were exploring the potential of images."--
