Der Band zeigt, wie sich konfessionelle Vorgaben zu Geschlechtern in Artefakten niederschlagen und wie Literatur, Kunst und Musik theologische, soziale und kulturelle Vorgaben dokumentieren, multimedial variieren, widersprechen oder selbst kreieren.


The Reformation marks a time of change that opened up new possibilities for women to act and transformed ideas about the order and coexistence of gender and the roles of men and women, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, and the family. The volume therefore explicitly takes into account not only concepts of femininity, but also masculinity, marriage, and family. The main focus of the volume is to explore these phenomena in terms of different artistic and medial forms of representation of gender in denominational contexts. The concept of interconfessionality serves as a common methodological approach: in this way, permeabilities between denominations and cross-denominational constructions of gender in the early modern period are explored.
