Abstract

"Sexual citizenship has become a key concept in the social sciences. It describes the rights and responsibilities of citizens in sexual and intimate life, including debates over equal marriage and women's human rights, as well as shaping thinking about citizenship more generally. But what does it mean in a continually changing political landscape of gender and sexuality? In this timely intervention, Diane Richardson examines the normative underpinnings and varied critiques of sexual citizenship, asking what they mean for its future conceptual and empirical development, as well as for political activism. Clearly written, the book shows how the field of sexuality and citizenship connects to a range of important areas of debate including understandings of nationalism, identity, neoliberalism, equality, governmentality, individualization, colonialism, human rights, globalization and economic justice. Ultimately this book calls for a critical rethink of sexual citizenship. Illustrating her argument with examples drawn from across the globe, Richardson contends that this is essential if scholars want to understand the sexual politics that made the field of sexuality and citizenship studies what it is today, and to enable future analyses of the sexual inequalities that continue to mark the global order"--

Abstract

In dit boek over 'het moederschap', bestudeert en beschrijft sociologe Diane Richardson de veranderde sociale en economische condities waarin vrouwen van vandaag moeder worden of, in zeldzamere gevallen, geen kinderen krijgen. Er wordt onder meer aandacht besteed aan de evolutie in ideologie over de gewenste rol van de moeder bij de opvoeding van het kind. Dit wordt ontleed aan de hand van adviezen van opvoedingsexperts, van 1870 tot vandaag.

Abstract

From Homer to the Bible, and Aristotle to Descartes, expert and common knowledge held that a pregnant woman's emotions and experiences could "imprint" on the fetus, leading to features such as birthmarks, deformities, and distinctive personality traits. Beginning with the advent of modern genetics at the turn of the twentieth century, however, biomedical scientists dismissed any notion that a mother-except in cases of extreme deprivation or injury-could alter her offspring's traits. Consensus asserted that the fetus was walled off from a woman's body by the placenta and that a child's fate was set by a combination of its genes and post-birth upbringing. Over the last fifty years, this consensus was dismantled. Today, research on the intrauterine environment and its effects on the fetus is emerging as a robust program of study in medicine, public health, psychology, evolutionary biology, and genomics. Some researchers claim that these maternal effects represent a biologically important but non-genetic form of inheritance, potentially refracting the mother's experiences and exposures across generations of descendants. Tracing a genealogy of ideas about heredity and maternal-fetal effects, The Maternal Imprint offers a critical analysis of conceptual and ethical issues provoked by the striking rise of epigenetics and fetal origins science in postgenomic biology today.
