Linda R. Owen betritt mit \u201eDistorting the Past\u201c v\u00f6lliges Neuland. Das Buch schafft, was andere B\u00fccher nur selten erreichen: Es berichtigt falsche Vorstellungen. Die Autorin erschafft eine urgeschichtliche Welt, die nicht ausschlie\u00dflich von feuersteinschlagenden M\u00e4nnern besiedelt ist, die Mammuts, Pferde und Ren t\u00f6ten. Gleichzeitig begeht sie aber auch nicht den Fehler eine gegens\u00e4tzlich diktierte pal\u00e4olithische Traumwelt zu kreieren, die von matriarchaler Dominanz gezeichnet ist. Stattdessen zeigt Owen, ohne von ihren Quellen abzuweichen, dass die Vergangenheit von verschiedensten Menschen bewohnt war, die auf bestimmte Umst\u00e4nde und Probleme in mannigfaltiger Art und Weise reagierten. In diesen Szenarien konnten Frauen manchmal J\u00e4ger, Fischer, Handwerker, Sammler, Schamanen, Ausbilder, Schwestern, M\u00fctter und Gro\u00dfm\u00fctter sein. In einer solchen, ausgewogeneren Auffassung von J\u00e4ger- und Sammlergesellschaften waren auch M\u00e4nner und Kinder zentrale Figuren. Durch diese Sicht k\u00f6nnen wir zu verstehen beginnen, dass das pal\u00e4olithische Leben, welches Generationen von Wisschenschaftlern erschaffen haben, nicht l\u00e4nger als einzige Sichtweise gelten kann.<\/p>\n

This volume analyzes the possibilities of applying the concept of gender, the social construct of sex, to the Upper Paleolithic of Europe. Special emphasis is placed on the division of labor, specifically the procurement of food and raw materials and the manufacture and use of implements, as I believe that these topics can be investigated successfully within the limits of the archeological record.<\/p>\n

Rezensionen<\/h2>\n

\u2026 I believe Distorting the Past will be of great importance not only for Paleolithic scholars and researchers, but also for those working on ethnography and in the field of cultural anthropology in general\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Owen’s experimentally-based study of the German Magdalenian is designed \u2026 to draw out the role of female individuals from the dogmatic picture of male hunters she believes still underpins our attitude to Upper Palaeolithic archaeology.
\n\u2026 we should ‚unbias‘ our reconstructions and consider both the role of women and the use of material culture for non traditional tasks\u2026
\n\u2026 the strength of Owen’s work is to reorient our interpretative biases and recognise the Magdalenian as the broad-spectrum and culturally complex adaptation it was.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2026 she [Owen] describes subtle evidence of gender bias in the views of both male and female anthropologists\u2026
\n\u2026 Owen tires her best to refute the longstanding downplaying of plant, fish, and small mammals\u2026 This section is a trove of information mined by the author from the primary sources\u2014down to the use of bird and fish skins in clothing. Every prehistorian should read this substantial section to refresch his\/her notions about resouircefulness of forager men and women living under some of the toughest conditions.
\n\u2026 The book concludes with a scathing (but always calmly empirical) refutation of the increasingly popular notion that men’s and women’s brains are „hard-wired“ differently.
\n\u2026 This is no rabid feminist tract, but a careful, empirically based, soberly written, serious account of how the record has been badly distorted\u2014however unconsciously\u2014by generations of archaeologists up to the late twentieth century.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Die Verfasserin vertritt die These, dass die notorische \u00dcberbewertung des Anteils der M\u00e4nner bzw. Unterbewertung des Anteils der Frauen an der Subsistenzsicherung \u00fcber ethnographische Analogien in das arch\u00e4ologische Denken gelangt sei und bereits die ethnographischen Studien einen gro\u00dfen Gender-Bias aufweisen.
\nDas „urgeschichtliche Geschlechtermodell“ erf\u00fcllt eine gesellschaftliche Funktion, die es zu reflektiern gilt \u2013 und diese Reflektion wird im vorliegenden Buch angesto\u00dfen. Neben den wissenschaftlich anregenden Ergebnissen ist es dieser Punkt, der das Buch so lesenswert macht.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
