Sinossi
When a baby can be made in a test tube, when embryos can be frozen for later fertilization, when a woman can carry to term a child that shares none of her genetic material, what is natural about the creation of life? This is the question addressed by Valerie Hartouni in her consideration of the cultural effects of new reproductive technologies as expressed in video images, popular journalism, scientific debates, legal briefs and policy decisions. This text tracks the circulation and communication of various myths, images, and stories pertaining to new reproductive technologies and their effects, both imagined and real, during the last two decades. While addressing topics ranging from surrogacy and cloning to adoption and abortion, the author analyzes culture for clues to what these manifestations tell us about issues of personhood, be they race, gender, or class-based. She finds both the emergence of new anxieties about the nature of selfhood and the recurrence of old myths about individuality, sexuality, property and family. The burdens caused by these cultural concerns have fallen disproportionately on women, particularly women of colour, as the political apparatus attempts to adjust to societal changes in the face of demographic and technological change. The book traces the dialectic between crisis and containment unleashed by reproductive technologies, and illustrates the degree to which at the end of this century we are still living out the dreams and nightmares of the previous ones. Ultimately, however, the author argues that the anxiety around new reproductive technologies provides openings for alternative understandings and tentative challenges to implant themselves.

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
