Table of ContentsIntroduction -- The wanting of a baby: nature, history, culture, and society -- The wanting of a baby: desire, despair, hope, and regret -- The child that is wanted: perfection and commodification -- The child that is wanted: kinship and the body of evidence -- The child that is wanted: reading race and the global child -- Conclusion: coming to grief in theoryReviewsIn her erudite analysis of everything that is commonsensical--and not--about 'having an own child', Karin Lesnik-Oberstein has completed a long-overdue task with the scope and rigour it deserves. On Having an Own Child is a contribution to the cultural analysis of reproduction and the feminist debate about reproductive technology that consistently foregrounds the fundamental questions of language, kinship, culture and identity at their core. In a confrontational analysis that ranges from psychoanalysis to biopolitics, Lesnik-Oberstein makes a major contribution to contemporary cultural theory in a path-breaking work that deserves to be read by the widest possible audience. --Sarah Franklin, Professor of Social Studies of Biomedicine Author InformationLesnik-Oberstein, Karin Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
