Wie werden Emotionen im Kontext des Artenverlusts eingesetzt? In welchem Ausmaß sind sie steuerbar und für welche Zwecke werden sie genutzt? Anhand des Beispiels der Stellerschen Seekuh fragt der Artikel nach Formen der Trauer im Umgang mit der Auslöschung und den Überresten des marinen Säugetiers. Die Stellersche Seekuh wurde Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts an den Rändern frühmoderner Seewege im Nordpazifik entdeckt und zu Nahrungszwecken ausgerottet. Das Tier ist Teil einer speziesübergreifenden Ausrottungsgeschichte und zeigt die Verbindung der Vernichtung nicht-menschlicher Lebewesen und indigener Gemeinschaften auf. Mithilfe der Seekuh wird untersucht, wessen Auslöschung überhaupt Trauer erfährt und wie diese mithilfe der in naturhistorischen Museen zusammengesetzten Knochengerüste her- und dargestellt wird. Fragen nach der Verbindung von Emotion und imperialen Machtstrukturen spielen dabei ebenso eine Rolle, wie die von Sammlungsinstitutionen genutzten Erzählungen letzter Individuen, tragischer Abgesänge und die Kommodifizierung der Überreste des Tieres. Abschließend wird Trauer als Möglichkeit berücksichtigt, über Artengrenzen hinweg zu verbinden.

Animals enjoyed an active afterlife in late-nineteenth-century pro-animal texts in Germany. Drawing on a number of primary texts and recent scholarship on the anti-vivisection movement, this article argues that remembering, mourning, and haunting by animals is part of a gendered discourse on animal rights that is associated in particular with sentiment and with maternity. This is illustrated with reference to Marie Espérance von Schwartz's Gemma, oder Tugend und Laster (1877), a sentimental anti-vivisection novella in which deceased animals and women return to punish their abusers or shore up the resistant stance of the living. Viewing Schwartz's fictional novella in the context of non-fictional pro-animal works, including Ernst Grysanowski's Die Vivisection, ihr wissenschaftlicher Werth und ihre ethische Berechtigung (1877) and Ignaz Bregenzer's Thier-Ethik: Darstellung der sittlichen und rechtlichen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Thier (1894), allows me, by means of contrast, to highlight its gendered dimension.
在 19 世纪晚期德国支持动物的文本中,动物享有活跃的来世。本文借鉴了一些原始文本和近期有关反活体解剖运动的学术研究,认为对动物的怀念、哀悼和萦绕是动物权利性别话语的一部分,尤其与情感和母性相关。玛丽-埃斯佩朗斯-冯-施瓦茨(Marie Espérance von Schwartz)的《Gemma, oder Tugend und Laster》(1877 年)是一部感伤的反活体解剖长篇小说。将施瓦茨的虚构长篇小说与支持动物的非虚构作品(包括恩斯特-格里萨诺夫斯基(Ernst Grysanowski)的《Die Vivisection, ihr wissenschaftlicher Werth und ihre ethische Berechtigung》(1877 年)和伊格纳茨-布雷根泽尔(Ignaz Bregenzer)的《Thier-Ethik:通过对比,我可以突出其性别维度。

This article reads Kim de l'Horizon's award-winning novel Blutbuch (2022) as a contribution to the epistemology of gender. Amid philosophical debates about internality and externality in the construction of gender, about the feasibility of gender identity as a coherent concept, about gender feels and gender as process, de l'Horizon's novel offers something else: it shows the foolishness of attempting an etiology of gender and the compulsion to attempt one anyway. Instead of setting the ultimate knowability of gender aside, the typical move of today's gender theory, Blutbuch dwells within this impasse. In the novel, I argue, gender appears simultaneously as an empty signifier and an essential aspect of the self.
本文将金-德-地平线(Kim de l'Horizon)的获奖小说《Blutbuch》(2022 年)视为对性别认识论的贡献。在关于性别建构中的内在性和外在性、性别认同作为一个连贯概念的可行性、性别感觉和性别过程的哲学争论中,de l'Horizon的小说提供了另一种东西:它显示了试图对性别进行病因学研究的愚蠢性,以及无论如何都要进行病因学研究的必要性。布卢特布赫没有像当今性别理论的典型做法那样将性别的终极可知性搁置一边,而是陷入了这一僵局。我认为,在这部小说中,性别既是一个空洞的符号,又是自我的一个重要方面。
