Pregnancy, childbirth,
the grim and wonderful business of procreation:
Historically, all these topics are interwoven into every aspect of society.
In 17th century Spain childbirth was accompanied and guided by symbols, rituals, images and stories. Assuming the body cannot be explained without the mind, it is this cultural side to obstetrics that we explore in our studies.
The viennese journal contains current research on cultural studies from researchers around the globe.
Avisos de Viena
Viennese Cultural Studies
Avisos de Viena is a scientific online journal which offers new perspectives on (spanish) cultural history.
We provide short articles in English, Spanish and German which bring forth an interdisciplinary approach to a variety of research interests, such as the culture of childbirth, family networks, soundscape and aesthetics, or social qualities of prose and theatre that might interest both academic readers and a wider public.
We are now publishing continuously to accelerate the pace of publication. Accepted articles will be published immediately after editing and revision, the volume will be built up continuously until the submission deadline.
