Due to the conception of women as ›physical reproducers‹ of the imagined community called nation, the german-nationalist discourse around 1900 discussed the ›beauty‹, the ›otherness‹, the ›motherhood‹, the ›healthiness‹ and ›illness‹ of the female body. The aim of the german-nationalist conceptions of the female body was a dissociation from people of other nations as well as an exclusion of those social groups who were considered as posing a threat to the nation from within. Imaginations of female body served to establish a national and gendered division of labour and to invent a historical ›Germanic‹ tradition. The female body was functionalized as a metaphor for the »Volks-Körper«, leading to its image of being the ›border of the nation‹. German-nationalist body-conceptions rejected women's efforts for political participation and authorized the oppression of self-determined behaviour of women. Female activists of the Südmark had to face these powerful images in nearly every sphere of life. However, german-nationalist female politicians and activists made use of the ambivalences of the national body conceptions to develop their own strategies of political behaviour. ; Due to the conception of women as ›physical reproducers‹ of the imagined community called nation, the german-nationalist discourse around 1900 discussed the ›beauty‹, the ›otherness‹, the ›motherhood‹, the ›healthiness‹ and ›illness‹ of the female body.

Die Begriffe »Grenze« bzw. »Grenzraum« verweisen auf vielfältige Bedeutungsebenen. Dieser Band rückt das Spannungsfeld von klar definierten Raum- und Grenzkonzepten sowie brüchigen, fragmentierten und widersprüchlichen sozialen Praktiken ins Blickfeld und fokussiert zugleich Konflikte, Reibungsflächen und Übergangszonen in »Grenzbereichen«. Exemplarische Fallstudien analysieren (zeit-)historisch relevante Themenfelder wie mehrsprachige/plurikulturelle (Grenz-)Regionen, Migrationen, Geschlechterverhältnisse, nationale und religiöse Identitäten, Handlungsspielräume sowie Erinnerungskulturen.
