Abstract:
In an era long before \'Doctor Google\', the question of how people accessed information about their bodies and their health is significant. This article investigates how medical knowledge about motherhood was disseminated in the pages of an entirely neglected and short-lived, yet important interwar Viennese periodical, Die Mutter: Halbmonatsschrift für alle Fragen der Schwangerschaft, Säuglingshygiene und Kindererziehung (The Mother: A Biweekly Magazine for All Questions about Pregnancy, Infant Hygiene and Child-Rearing). The magazine\'s founder, editor and champion was Gina Kaus, a bestselling, prize-winning author and screenplay writer. Die Mutter was part of a wider interwar Viennese press landscape of publications dedicated to mothers and motherhood, many of them produced by women for women. I suggest that periodicals about motherhood constituted an important alternative public sphere, one coming in part from the grassroots, rather than from a top-down municipal approach to public health-even in a city where mothers\' bodies were already a focal point for left-of-center politics and public health initiatives in the wake of World War I.
摘要:
在“Google医生”之前的一个时代,人们如何获取关于他们的身体和他们的健康的信息的问题是重要的。本文调查了关于母亲的医学知识是如何在一个完全被忽视和短暂的页面中传播的,然而重要的两次战争维也纳期刊,DieMutter:HalbmonatsschriftfüralleFragenderSchwangerschaft,SäuglingshygieneundKinderrziehung(母亲:关于怀孕的所有问题的双周刊杂志,婴儿卫生和儿童养育)。该杂志的创始人,编辑和冠军是GinaKaus,畅销书,获奖作家和编剧。DieMutter是维也纳两次战争之间更广泛的出版物的一部分,专门针对母亲和母亲,其中许多是由女性为女性生产的。我认为关于母亲的期刊构成了一个重要的替代公共领域,一个部分来自基层,而不是从自上而下的市政方法来解决公共卫生问题-即使在第一次世界大战之后,母亲的身体已经成为中间偏左政治和公共卫生倡议的焦点的城市。
