Peggy Froeses Aufsatz, „Risiko und Vertrauen im historischen Roman um 1850: am Beispiel von Louise Otto-Peters Nürnberg“, fokussiert in diachroner Perspektive und im interdisziplinären Rekurs auf soziologische Risiko-Theoreme von Niklas Luhmann die beiden Relationen Risiko und Vertrauen sowie Risiko und Gefahr. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die fiktionalen Differenzkonstruktionen männlichen und weiblichen Risikoverhaltens, welche die politisch exponierteste bürgerliche Emanzipationsschriftstellerin Louise Otto-Peters aus der historischen Position ihrer ebenso geschlechtersegregierten wie fortschritts-, rationalitäts- und risikoaffinen Gegenwart heraus für die historische Vergangenheit um 1500 entwirft. Die Analyse signifikanter vertrauensmarkierter Risikohandlungen und -reflexionen zeigt, dass der Text die neue, sich formierende Risikomentalität in unhistorisch projektiver und affirmatorischer Weise zum konstitutiven Charakterisierungsmerkmal aller seiner Figuren macht, genderstereotype Attribuierungen des zeitgenössischen Risiko-Diskurses dabei aber kritisch ausdifferenziert und korrigiert.

Motherhood is a contemporary topic that affects the majority of women in Germany, and yet the experiences and struggles of working mothers often remain taboo or are in conflict with social conventions and established traditions. If one adds to this mothers’ wishes or needs to pursue a career, challenges occur: conflicting priorities, the family structure, social perceptions and pressures, and reconciling and balancing the multi-faceted demands on a woman’s life. „Eine Poetik der Mutterschaft“ breaks the silence around these concern and explores the poeticity of motherhood in German literature and the artwork of two female authors, who pursued their personal and career goals and did not conform to the ideal image of motherhood in Germany: Else Lasker-Schüler (1869-1945) and Marie Luise Kaschnitz (1901-1974). Both women were working mothers, who had different motherhood experiences and challenges. The dissertation begins with a close look at these authors’ biographies, their personal experiences of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. Next comes an analysis of the literary and artistic works with examples of how motherhood informs their works and creative process, how images of maternity are utilized to communicate a message, and some metaphorical meanings of motherhood in the selected works. I argue that the creative process is a parallel to motherhood itself, and I show how this is connected to the metapoeticity of the works. This dissertation highlights the ways in which Lasker-Schüler and Kaschnitz, like other historical working mother-artists such as Käthe Kollwitz, become role models and inspire women in contemporary times, enabling women to draw strength from each other and to continue to stretch the boundaries of traditional and ideal perceptions of mothers and motherhood. / Thesis (Ph.D, German) -- Queen's University, 2012-04-13 11:13:43.731
