This article traces the history of the West German debate about whether, how, and why adoptive parents should or should not tell their children the truth about their origins. Concepts of biological and social parenthood, family, parental love, and the maternal bond play a role in this context, as does the ensuing legal discussion on full and partial adoption, anonymous adoption, and finally the novel instrument of “open adoption” that was developed in the 1970s. The conclusion attempts to place these discussions within the context of a more comprehensive history of truth. In drawing attention to how the current trend towards unconditional truth-telling has been shaped by changing historical contexts, the paper reveals that the answers are context-bound, that it is advisable to carefully ponder what effects the overarching emphasis on a single form of truth (or secrecy) may have, and what dangers it may hold.
这篇文章追溯了西德关于养父母是否、如何以及为什么应该告诉孩子他们的出身真相的争论的历史。生物学和社会父母身份、家庭、父母之爱和母性纽带的概念在这方面发挥了作用,随之而来的关于完全和部分收养、匿名收养的法律讨论,以及最后在20世纪70年代发展起来的“公开收养”这一新颖工具也是如此。结论试图将这些讨论置于更全面的真理史的背景下。在提请人们注意当前无条件讲真话的趋势是如何被不断变化的历史背景所塑造的时,该论文揭示了答案是有上下文限制的,建议仔细思考对单一形式的真相(或秘密)的全面强调可能会产生什么影响,以及它可能会带来什么危险。

Giving birth out of wedlock was associated for centuries with shame, economic burden, and secrecy. Unmarried pregnant women could escape stigma by travelling away from home and purchasing a confinement elsewhere. They could hide there when the pregnancy started to show, give birth, have their children adopted or sent to foster care, and then return home. This article explores the social economy of this stigma by investigating the market for anonymous births in Sweden through newspaper advertisements addressing unmarried pregnant women during the period 1905–1935. It shows that unmarried pregnant women risked exploitation when entering this market, in which private midwives, private maternity homes and individuals offering accommodation and employment were all operating.
几个世纪以来,未婚生育一直与羞耻、经济负担和保密联系在一起。未婚孕妇可以通过离家旅行和在其他地方购买月子来逃避耻辱。当怀孕开始时,他们可以躲在那里,生孩子,收养孩子或送去寄养,然后回家。本文通过1905年至1935年期间针对未婚孕妇的报纸广告调查瑞典的匿名分娩市场,探讨了这种污名化的社会经济。它表明,未婚孕妇在进入这个市场时面临着被剥削的风险,在这个市场中,私人助产士、私人妇产院以及提供住宿和就业的个人都在经营。

Based on a database of Australian cases from 1834–1954, this article argues that abandonment was an intentional strategy intended to maximise a child's chances of survival while preserving its family's reputation. However, abandonment had the potential to expose family secrets, bringing them into the public gaze and subjecting them to interrogation. Abandonment was also used for revenge, exposing the identity of putative fathers in a demand for financial support. Through this analysis the article positions abandonment as a key site of interaction between the individual and society, and the private and the public in relation to the politics of secrecy.
基于1834-1954年澳大利亚案例的数据库,本文认为遗弃是一种有意的策略,目的是最大化孩子的生存机会,同时维护其家庭的声誉。然而,遗弃有可能暴露家庭秘密,使他们进入公众的视线,并使他们受到审讯。遗弃也被用于报复,暴露假定父亲的身份,要求经济支持。通过这一分析,文章将放弃定位为个人与社会、私人与公共与保密政治互动的关键场所。

erate productive scholarship on the family. This book indicates but leaves unstated the suggestion that scientifically generated ableist ideologies were central to twentieth-century US familial norms. As scholars, we can dig further with a disability analysis and generate new questions about the history of the family. Helpful in this process is existing scholarship such as that by Allison C. Carey on the twentieth-century families of those with developmental disabilities; Cynthia Lewiecki-Wilson and Jen Cellio’s edited collection Disability and Mothering: Liminal Spaces of Embodied Knowledge (2011); and the explosion of materials by individuals who claim a neurodiverse or autistic identity. A generative piece of scholarship, Intelligent Love prompts an additional number of questions from which historians of the family may benefit. How have non-privileged families made their own through, and resisted, or drowned in, the labyrinth of weighty medical and scientific expertise? How have non-normative families waded through the powerful influences of medicine and expertise? How does the history of the family overlap with that of disability, foster care, and adoption? Intellegent Lovewill enrich scholars and courses on the history of the family, medicine, education, and science. Vicedo explains highly scientific arguments in accessible language without overly simplifying them, making it a readable and teachable book.

This article examines cases of fornication and illegitimacy as they were regulated by the Genevan Consistory, a morals discipline court that John Calvin created in 1541 to eradicate sin from the community. We argue that ordinary people failed to live up to the moral standards of Calvinist reformers as they practiced illicit sex and had bastard children. The authorities did their best to correct such behavior and provide for illegitimate children.
这篇文章探讨了通奸和非法行为的案件,因为它们受到Genevan Consortory的监管,这是约翰·加尔文于1541年创建的一个道德纪律法庭,旨在根除社区中的罪恶。我们认为,普通人没有达到加尔文改革者的道德标准,因为他们从事非法性行为并生下私生子。当局尽最大努力纠正这种行为,并供养私生子。

What happened to marriage patterns within the British Empire's colonies where more opportunity existed for breaks with past norms? This paper, drawn from research into a group of laborers known as Brogdens’ Navvies who emigrated to New Zealand in 1872 and 1873, argues that working people conformed with social expectations around marriage until legal and economic constraints forced them into alternative forms of relationships. Additionally, communities were sometimes more flexible and accepting of arrangements than legal strictures and prescriptions might suggest. From 1898 onward, law changes that legalized marriage breakdown and allowed remarriage seem to have reduced the need for alternatives.
大英帝国殖民地的婚姻模式发生了什么变化,那里有更多的机会打破过去的规范?这篇论文是根据对一群被称为布罗格登斯Navvies的劳工的研究得出的,他们于1872年和1873年移民到新西兰。论文认为,劳动人民在婚姻方面符合社会期望,直到法律和经济限制迫使他们进入另一种形式的关系。此外,社区有时比法律限制和规定所显示的更灵活,更能接受安排。从1898年开始,法律的变化使婚姻破裂合法化,并允许再婚,这似乎减少了对其他选择的需求。

Divorces have become common, but reliable longer-run historical data with several years of follow-up are scarce. This study investigates divorce trends and divorce risk based on prospective data for all Norwegian different-sex marriages formed from 1886–2018, with yearly follow-up continuing until 60 years after the wedding (N = 2.7 million). First marriages and remarriages are investigated separately, as are marriages in rural and urban areas. The results indicate a general decline in divorce risk, but not in rural areas. The previously suggested impacts of age-at-marriage and remarriage on divorce risk are questioned.
离婚已经很普遍,但经过几年随访的可靠的长期历史数据很少。这项研究基于1886年至2018年形成的所有挪威不同性别婚姻的前瞻性数据,调查了离婚趋势和离婚风险,每年的随访持续到婚礼后60年(N = 270万)。初婚和再婚是分开调查的,农村和城市地区的婚姻也是如此。结果表明,离婚风险普遍下降,但农村地区没有。先前提出的结婚年龄和再婚对离婚风险的影响受到质疑。

Feminist historians have long recognised the symbiotic relationship between personal autonomy and a woman's capacity to earn her own living. This paper draws on legal and press documentation to examine how one woman navigated the difficult path of wage-earning during the 1890s. It argues that Catherine Kirchner saw herself as an autonomous economic entity and conducted herself with equal autonomy within her marriage and an extra-marital love affair. The paper concludes that despite the rhetoric of increasing emancipation and opportunity for women in 1890s New South Wales, the path to economic autonomy remained a difficult one to traverse.
女权主义历史学家早就认识到个人自主性和女性谋生能力之间的共生关系。本文利用法律和新闻文献来研究一位女性在19世纪90年代是如何艰难地走上工资收入之路的。它认为,凯瑟琳·基什内尔将自己视为一个自主的经济实体,并在婚姻和婚外恋中享有平等的自主权。该论文的结论是,尽管19世纪90年代新南威尔士州的妇女解放和机会不断增加,但实现经济自治的道路仍然很难走。

argues, enact a “queer historiography.” Bale’s historiography is queer in the sense that his promotion of a chaste, theologically reformed England becomes implicated in his condemnation of clerical chastity as a kind of sodomy. “Sodomitical traces” of a demonized Catholic past thus haunt Bale’s redeemed English present (125). One way that Bale associates the Catholic Church with sodomy is through the character Sodomismus in Thre Lawes of Nature, Moses, and Christ, who boasts of the pederastic tastes of even the Pope. As we saw in the earlier chapter about male friendship, however, sodomy was a broadly defined sin that signified the general debauchery of human will. For Bale, then, sodomy could encompass not only pederasty but also adultery, promiscuity, masturbation, bestiality, and idolatry. Yet because Bale’s interludes, like many of the dramatic texts in Pugh’s study, feature few female characters, sodomy comes to seem particularly descriptive of transgressive male same-sex relations. With the wonderfully paradoxical phrase “sodomitical chastity,” Bale excoriates the sexual hypocrisy of lecherous if unmarried Catholic prelates (and nuns) even as he thereby undercuts the purity of Englande, a chaste widow and mother, in King Johan. King Johan’s chaste asexuality similarly falls under the shadow of “sodomitical chastity.” As always, Pugh is alert to the ways in which performance might add a queer(er) dimension to the text; here, he observes the delicious irony that the performer who played Englande also doubles in the part of lecherous Clergye. In his final chapter (preceding a brief conclusion that situates Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi within the “queer legacy” of early English drama), Pugh turns from the English Reformation to the Scottish Reformation as presented through David Lyndsay’s Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis. Pugh identifies this carnivalesque text as proto-camp for its foregrounding of the dissonance between the male bodies of actors and the exuberant female bodies they perform, a dynamic that fosters in audiences a “hermaphroditic gaze” in which male and female gender distinctions refuse to congeal (146). Like Bale, Lyndsay attributes sexual incontinence to the Catholic Church; unlike Bale, he fills his play with “an extraordinarily large number of female characters,” some of whom “straddle the borders between masculine and feminine” (157). I appreciated Pugh’s use of contemporary theories of camp to explain how Lyndsay seems to search for an innovative dramatic form with which to explore sexual vices and inversions of traditional gender roles.

贝尔的史学是古怪的,因为他对一个贞洁的、经过神学改革的英格兰的提倡,与他谴责牧师贞洁是一种鸡奸的行为有关。被妖魔化的天主教过去的“鸡奸痕迹”因此困扰着贝尔救赎的英国现在(125)。贝尔将天主教会与鸡奸联系在一起的一种方式是通过《自然法则》、《摩西与基督》中的角色索多米斯,他吹嘘自己甚至有教皇的恋童癖。然而,正如我们在关于男性友谊的前一章中所看到的那样,鸡奸是一种定义广泛的罪行,象征着人类意志的普遍放荡。对贝尔来说,鸡奸不仅包括恋童癖,还包括通奸、滥交、手淫、兽交和偶像崇拜。然而,由于贝尔的插曲,就像Pugh研究中的许多戏剧文本一样,很少有女性角色出现,鸡奸似乎特别描述了越轨的男性同性关系。贝尔用一句极其矛盾的短语“鸡奸贞操”严厉谴责了未婚天主教牧师(和修女)好色的性虚伪,尽管他因此削弱了《约翰王》中贞洁寡妇和母亲英格兰德的纯洁性。约翰国王贞洁的无性恋同样也落在了“鸡奸贞洁”的阴影下。帕格一如既往地警惕表演可能会给文本增加一个奇怪的维度;在这里,他观察到了一个有趣的讽刺,扮演英格兰德的表演者也同时扮演好色的克莱吉。在他的最后一章中(在一个简短的结论之前,该结论将特伦斯·麦克纳利的《科珀斯克里斯蒂》置于早期英国戏剧的“酷儿遗产”中),Pugh从英国宗教改革转向了苏格兰宗教改革,正如David Lyndsay的《Thrie Estaitis的Ane Satyre》所呈现的那样。Pugh将这部狂欢节式的文本视为原型阵营,因为它突出了演员的男性身体和他们表演的旺盛女性身体之间的不和谐,这种动态在观众中培养了一种“两性凝视”,在这种凝视中,男性和女性的性别差异拒绝融合(146)。和贝尔一样,林德赛将性失禁归因于天主教会;与贝尔不同的是,他在剧中塑造了“大量女性角色”,其中一些“跨越了男性和女性的界限”(157)。我很欣赏Pugh使用当代阵营理论来解释Lyndsay似乎是如何寻找一种创新的戏剧形式来探索性恶习和传统性别角色的颠倒的。Camp提供了一个恰当的词汇,不仅可以描述Lyndsay的《Satyre》的戏剧风格,还可以描述它对观众产生的“认识论危机”,因为观众可能无法理解演出色情表面下的社会改革寓言。正统的意识形态信息和早期英国戏剧难以驾驭的表演能量之间的紧张关系推动了Pugh在这项出色的研究中的解读,并为未来的工作提供了强大的动力和模式。
{"title":"Book Review: Countless Blessings: A History of Childbirth and Reproduction in the Sahel by Barbara MacGowan Cooper","authors":"Shobana Shankar","doi":"10.1177/03631990221077328","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/03631990221077328","url":null,"abstract":"argues, enact a “queer historiography.” Bale’s historiography is queer in the sense that his promotion of a chaste, theologically reformed England becomes implicated in his condemnation of clerical chastity as a kind of sodomy. “Sodomitical traces” of a demonized Catholic past thus haunt Bale’s redeemed English present (125). One way that Bale associates the Catholic Church with sodomy is through the character Sodomismus in Thre Lawes of Nature, Moses, and Christ, who boasts of the pederastic tastes of even the Pope. As we saw in the earlier chapter about male friendship, however, sodomy was a broadly defined sin that signified the general debauchery of human will. For Bale, then, sodomy could encompass not only pederasty but also adultery, promiscuity, masturbation, bestiality, and idolatry. Yet because Bale’s interludes, like many of the dramatic texts in Pugh’s study, feature few female characters, sodomy comes to seem particularly descriptive of transgressive male same-sex relations. With the wonderfully paradoxical phrase “sodomitical chastity,” Bale excoriates the sexual hypocrisy of lecherous if unmarried Catholic prelates (and nuns) even as he thereby undercuts the purity of Englande, a chaste widow and mother, in King Johan. King Johan’s chaste asexuality similarly falls under the shadow of “sodomitical chastity.” As always, Pugh is alert to the ways in which performance might add a queer(er) dimension to the text; here, he observes the delicious irony that the performer who played Englande also doubles in the part of lecherous Clergye. In his final chapter (preceding a brief conclusion that situates Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi within the “queer legacy” of early English drama), Pugh turns from the English Reformation to the Scottish Reformation as presented through David Lyndsay’s Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis. Pugh identifies this carnivalesque text as proto-camp for its foregrounding of the dissonance between the male bodies of actors and the exuberant female bodies they perform, a dynamic that fosters in audiences a “hermaphroditic gaze” in which male and female gender distinctions refuse to congeal (146). Like Bale, Lyndsay attributes sexual incontinence to the Catholic Church; unlike Bale, he fills his play with “an extraordinarily large number of female characters,” some of whom “straddle the borders between masculine and feminine” (157). I appreciated Pugh’s use of contemporary theories of camp to explain how Lyndsay seems to search for an innovative dramatic form with which to explore sexual vices and inversions of traditional gender roles. Camp provides an apt vocabulary for describing not just the dramatic style of Lyndsay’s Satyre but also its production of “epistemological crises” for spectators who might not be able to apprehend the allegory of social reform beneath the performance’s sexually raucous surface.
