        Abstract
        The ideology of purity-of-blood (limpieza de sangre) divided early modern Iberian society into two different classes: Old Christians and New Christians. New Christians, i.e. Conversos (converted Jews) and Moriscos (converted Muslims), but also their offspring, were thought to be inferior Christians and always tending towards apostasy. At the turn of the 17th century an increased interest in bodily markers to proof the presumed inferiority of the so-called New Christians can be observed. The book focusses on the question how the apologists of the purity-of-blood statutes used the idea of inherited bodily markers to promote a genealogical racism in early modern Iberia.

        Um Mechanismen der Ausgrenzung, Diskriminierung und Verfolgung zu durchschauen, ihnen vorzubeugen und sie beizeiten zu bekämpfen, müssen wir sie verstehen. Die Blutreinheitsideologie (span. limpieza de sangre) unterteilte die frühneuzeitliche iberische Gesellschaft in zwei Gruppen: Altchristen und Neuchristen. Julia Gebke analysiert in ihrer Arbeit anhand von drei durch die Blutreinheitsideologen propagierten körperlichen Markierungen im Schnittfeld von Theologie und Medizin die verstärkte Stigmatisierung des neuchristlichen Körpers. Neuchristliche Muttermilch, jüdisch-männliche Menstruation und neuchristlicher Körpergeruch wurden, speziell an der Schwelle vom 16. zum 17. Jahrhundert, von Befürwortern und Gegnern der Blutreinheitsideologie kontrovers diskutiert. Deutsche Version: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1377
