Abstract:
La obesidad junto con la deficiencia de yodo, son condiciones que han acompañado al hombre desde los albores de la civilización, como lo demuestra el hallazgo en la región de Willendorf, Austria, de estatuillas de bronce elaboradas hace 25 000 años, que representan mujeres obesas, conocidas desde entonces como las Venus de Willendorf(1). Hipócrates y los médicos griegos observaron que la obesidad conllevaba una reducción de la expectativa de vida y que las mujeres obesas tienen mayor frecuencia de irregularidades menstruales e infertilidad. Tanto Galeno como Avicena hicieron descripciones de esta enfermedad y fueron los médicos hindúes Sushrut y Charak (500 a 400 aC) quienes la asociaron a la presencia de sabor dulce en la orina (2).

Abstract:
Zusammenfassung. Auch in der Onkologie gewinnen kunsttherapeutische Angebote zunehmend an Bedeutung. In Leipzig wurde ein 22-stündiges Gruppenprogramm für Menschen mit einer Krebserkrankung mit dem Titel „mal meins” entwickelt. Wie sollte der Einstieg in solch ein ambulantes künstlerisches Nachsorgeprogramm gestaltet sein, um eine gute Bindung der ehemals schwerstkranken Personen an den Kurs und die Gruppe zu erreichen? Diese Erörterung könnte insbesondere für die kunsttherapeutische Praxis von Interesse sein. Die Aufzeichnungen basieren auf Gedächtnisprotokollen und praktischen Erfahrungen der Kursleiterin und auf mündlichen Aussagen von Teilnehmenden aus 12 Gruppen mit jeweils unterschiedlicher Gruppenstärke (ca. 6–8 Personen). Das Einstiegsmodell „Venus vom Willendorf” und die gewählten Zeichentechniken ermöglichen ein lockeres und entspanntes Miteinander der Teilnehmenden bereits in der ersten Stunde und somit einen förderlichen Beginn des Kursprogrammes. Existenziell erkrankte Menschen können in einer Gruppe ihre Krankheit mit kreativen Mitteln verarbeiten. Ein aktivierender und öffnender Einstieg erwies sich dabei als hilfreich.

Abstract:
Pornography can affect the patterns of life of adults, especially those in terms of sexual behavior and porn consumption, and can have a significant impact on the sexual attitudes and behaviors. Thus; A) The authors will present a (pre) historic review of the relationship between the Humanity and Sexuality since the last 30.000 years (since the Venus of Willendorf) as prelude to the analysis of the Pornographic worldwide phenomenon. B) The Authors in this way will show the Structural differences between Erotism and Pornography focusing later on the character of the Porn Addiction. C) In effect although the DSM 5 still doesn’t include the Porn Addiction, in the USA the phenomenon is largely spread. Studies suggest that 70% of men ages 18 to 34 visit pornography websites and 47% of families say pornography is a problem in their home. A survey conducted in 2008 found that nearly 9 out of 10 (87%) young men and nearly 31% of young women reported using pornography. The Authors will analyze the process of Etiopathogenesis of the mechanisms inducing the Porn Addiction, the Symptoms and the Treatment Options for who depends on it and for the possible partner involved on it. These cases are relatively frequent in our professional work as Psycho-Sexologist.

Abstract:
AbstractThe origin and key details of the making of the ~ 30,000 year old Venus from Willendorf remained a secret since its discovery for more than a hundred years. Based on new micro-computed tomography scans with a resolution of 11.5 µm, our analyses can explain the origin as well as the choice of material and particular surface features. It allowed the identification of internal structure properties and a chronological assignment of the Venus oolite to the Mesozoic. Sampling numerous oolite occurrences ranging ~ 2500 km from France to the Ukraine, we found a strikingly close match for grain size distribution near Lake Garda in the Southern Alps (Italy). This might indicate considerable mobility of Gravettian people and long-time transport of artefacts from South to North by modern human groups before the Last Glacial Maximum.

Abstract:
Der Beitrag handelt von einer Auslegung der Bedeutung anthropomorphischer Figurinen der Altsteinzeit, insbesondere auf der Basis der beispielhaften Plastik Venus von Willendorf. Der Kern des Artikels liegt in der kritischen Frage der Repräsentationsordnung von hervortretenden Merkmalen kleiner Plastiken und versucht den hermeneutischen Rahmen der Morphologie der Figurinen zu erweitern. Was erzählen uns diese Formen? Inwiefern stehen die weiblichen Demarkationen für eine Darstellung der Weiblichkeit? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wird zunächst der ästhetische Wert der Artefakte problematisiert, da sich ihre künstlerische Beschaffenheit an ihrer Form, frei von jeder instrumentalen Bestimmung, zeigt. Dem folgt eine kritische Analyse der metaphysischen Darstellung von Form, zurückgehend auf Platon, dem zufolge die Form eine Idee (eídos) darstellt. Dieses Schema führt allerdings zu einem tautologischen Teufelskreis, bei dem jede weibliche Figuration eine Idee der Weiblichkeit darstellt, die aber weit weg von einem idealen Urbild und mehr ein kultureller Ausdruck ist. Dementsprechend gehe ich vom semiotischen Turn aus, laut dem ein Zeichensystem an der Stelle von Darstellungen steht, um die Frage der symbolischen Bedeutung weiblich demarkierter Merkmale zu behandeln. Die Markierungen sollen für einen Unterschied stehen. Dieser Unterscheid ist, im Anschluss an Spencer Browns Formtheorie und Niklas Luhmanns Rezeption davon, eine Unterscheidung einer Markierung eines unmarked space. Zum Schluss wird die symbolische Ordnung weiblich demarkierter Artefakte präsentiert, wobei sie ein Gefüge einer markierten eidetischen Differenz (Art-Differenz) eines Mutter-Menschen ist, die wiederum für einen unmarked space, nämlich die Markierung eines Verlusts, steht.

Abstract:
Willendorf Readings is an exploration of communication and power in both academic and everyday learning situations. According to poststructuralist modes of discourse analysis, or postlinguistics (T. Threadgold 2000), textual forms and practices along with sociocultural assumptions, may promote identities and motivations that shape the very worlds in which students and educators live. Educators, for example, traditionally engage in discourses that are a telling, when their practice, or praxis, might be better served by engaging in discourses that are an asking. This thesis argues that current hegemonic language in general, and educational language in particular, can disadvantage readers and students. The study investigates this issue by analysing written and graphic texts, specifically the discourses and agendas of texts that refer to a 25,000-year-old artefact historically known as the Venus of Willendoif. The Willendorf literature is appropriate for such examination in that it has emerged at the interface of widely divergent discourses, and its very name has been critically questioned in recent years. This questioning raises further philosophical linguistic problems within signifiers and acts of naming. Acknowledgment of the role that subjectivities play in meaning-making relates here to educational settings such as those in archaeology, art history, and the visual arts. Power struggles over meaning that arguably impede learning, however, also have a bearing on readers leading literate lives. It is in pursuit of such wider critical-literacy perspectives that this thesis subjects its 490 data-texts to detailed reading, utilising the qualitative-computer-analysis program NVivo 7. The researcher collects these texts from art-education, commercial-product, in-situ, internet, popular-literature, and scientific sources. A special difficulty arises in that the present thesis is itself accountable to the kind of readings and framings applied to the Willendorf texts. The thesis deals with this difficulty by including writing and graphics from this very thesis as one of the data-texts under scrutiny. The investigation contributes not merely to knowledge in education, but also to new ways of knowing in the current global postmodern context of multimedia technologies. To what feminist poststructuralist researchers have already learned, the thesis adds discursive analytical strategies regarding knowing, with/in the emerging field of postlinguistics. This educational work both takes place in and targets the life-world setting of research as education. By juxtaposing, deconstructing, and re-presenting the data using Foucauldianinformed methods, the thesis moves toward enabling students and educators alike to recognise some of the educational implications of their own actions, or performativity, through language.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 (“Nutrition”) features works of art depicting patients with nutritional disorders. Examples of both overnutrition and undernutrition are included. The final work considered is one by Johann J. Hasselhorst, titled Dissection of a Young Woman, in which an 18-year-old suicide victim is being dissected by a male surgeon to determine the ideal measurements of the female form. Her ideal from is contrasted earlier in the chapter with that of subjects, such as the Venus of Willendorf (a Paleolithic statuette discovered in the village of Willendorf, Austria in 1908 C.E.), with various forms of morbid obesity, and others, such as the Starving Buddha (a 2nd century B.C.E. bronze statue located in the Lahore Museum), that depict Kwashiorkor, cretinism, scurvy, pellagra, and other ravages of undernutrition.
