| Zusammenfassung: | The eugenics movement prior to the Second World War gave voice to the desire of many social reformers to promote good births and prevent bad births. Two sources of cultural authority in this period, science and religion, often found common cause in the promotion of eugenics. The rhetoric of biology and theology blended in strange ways through a common framework known as degeneration theory. Degeneration, a core concept of the eugenics movement, served as a key conceptual nexus between theological and scientific reflection on heredity among Protestant intellectuals and social reformers in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. Elite efforts at social control of the allegedly "unfit" took the form of negative eugenics. This included marriage restrictions and even sterilization for many who were identified as having a suspect heredity. Speculations on heredity were deployed in identifying the feeble-minded, hereditary criminals, hereditary alcoholics, and racial minorities as presumed hindrances to the progress of civilization. A few social reformers trained in biology, anthropology, criminology, and theology eventually raised objections to the eugenics movement. Still, many thousands of citizens on the margins were labeled as defectives and suffered human rights violations during this turbulent time of social change. -- |

Two sources of cultural authority in this period, science and religion, often found common cause in the promotion of eugenics. The rhetoric of biology and theology blended in strange ways through a common framework known as degeneration theory. Degeneration, a core concept of the eugenics movement, served as a key conceptual nexus between theological and scientific reflection on heredity among Protestant intellectuals and social reformers in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. Elite efforts at social control of the allegedly "unfit" took the form of negative eugenics. This included marriage restrictions and even sterilization for many who were identified as having a suspect heredity. Speculations on heredity were deployed in identifying the feeble-minded, hereditary criminals, hereditary alcoholics, and racial minorities as presumed hindrances to the progress of civilization. A few social reformers trained in biology, anthropology, criminology, and theology eventually raised objections to the eugenics movement. Still, many thousands of citizens on the margins were labeled as defectives and suffered human rights violations during this turbulent time of social change. -- Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1800-1940 gnd rswk-swf Ethik Geschichte Religion Sterilisation (DE-588)4057333-3 gnd rswk-swf Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 gnd rswk-swf Geburtenregelung (DE-588)4019593-4 gnd rswk-swf Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 gnd rswk-swf Sozialdarwinismus (DE-588)4181912-3 gnd rswk-swf Eugenik (DE-588)4015656-4 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Eugenics / United States / History Eugenics / Moral and ethical aspects Sterilization (Birth control) / Religious aspects Medical ethics Social Darwinism Religion and science / History / 19th century Religion and science / History / 20th century Eugenics Religion and science United States 1800-1999 History USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Eugenik (DE-588)4015656-4 s Sozialdarwinismus (DE-588)4181912-3 s Geburtenregelung (DE-588)4019593-4 s Sterilisation (DE-588)4057333-3 s Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 s Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 s Geschichte 1800-1940 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-5326-0578-9 |
