Abstract

Victoire féministe, l'allongement du délai légal de l'interruption volontaire de grossesse confère aux femmes une autonomie corporelle qui semble a priori peu compatible avec l'attention portée aujourd'hui à l'embryon et au fœtus. Ceux-ci, grâce aux progrès de l'imagerie médicale et des biotechnologies, s'imposent comme des êtres sociaux, inclus dans des dynamiques parentales, médicales et juridiques. Dans ce contexte apparemment paradoxal, comment la société française met-elle en place des procédures de régulation, d'organisation et d'institution qui tentent de concilier autonomie féminine et vie anténatale? Pourquoi le fœtus avorté à la quatorzième semaine de grossesse est-il qualifié de « déchet anatomique », tandis que, décédé lors d'une fausse couche une semaine plus tard, on délivre à leur demande aux parents un acte d'enfant sans vie ? Comment interpréter les statuts variés de l'être avant la naissance, entre « protopersonne » et résidu d'un processus biotechnique, entre « quasi-enfant » et « pièce anatomique »? À quel moment peut-on considérer les porteurs d'un projet parental comme « parents »? Comment sont vécues les fécondations in vitro ou les morts périnatales? Anne-Sophie Giraud, anthropologue de la procréation au CNRS, répond à ces questions délicates et parfois polémiques à partir d'une vaste enquête portant sur les processus d'engendrement. Avec une grande rigueur scientifique et à l'aide de nombreux entretiens, L'Être anténatal démontre que l'engendrement doit être compris comme un processus de transformation physique et statutaire inscrit dans une temporalité propre et organisé autour de situations de choix.

Abstract

The main aim of this book is to help obstetricians and gynecologists recognize prenatal skeletal anomalies. Bone dysplasias alone represent about a third of all fetal malformations, some of which have different prognoses ranging from mild disabilities to severe or lethal ones. However, recognizing them prenatally is often difficult or impossible as they usually become apparent in the third trimester or even after birth. The majority of skeletal syndromes are extremely rare, making genetic testing necessary. The book is divided into sections, starting from the skull and ending with the feet, with each chapter discussing anomalies specific to that organ or bone deformation. It's a lengthy journey of 56 chapters that requires a precise and rigorous educational path to diagnose such diseases. However, by following the "Ariadne's thread" represented by the "characteristic sign" and the help of a geneticist, the difficult task becomes feasible.

Abstract

Tracing women's experiences of miscarriage and termination for foetal anomaly in the second trimester, before legal viability, shows how such events are positioned as less 'real' or significant when the foetal being does not, or will not, survive. Invisible Labours describes the reproductive politics of this category of pregnancy loss in England. It shows how second trimester pregnancy loss produces specific medical and social experiences, revealing an underlying teleological ontology of pregnancy. Some women then understand their pregnancy through kinship with the unborn baby.

Abstract

Did you know that the number of atoms in a cookie is about the same as the number of stars in the universe ? Geoff Engelstein tackles the big questions of the Universe and how it works using the sweet, simple chocolate chip cookie as guide. By exploring what goes into the cookie-the ingredients and the steps-we learn about how everything works, from the tiny world of subatomic particles to galactic clusters. Filled with fascinating facts and laugh-out-loud moments, it's a richly visual and deeply fascinating scientific exploration of the world. And cookies. A must for fans of Randall Munroe! Topics include: The Big Bang Explained with Chocolate Chips. Quantum Mechanics Explained with Milk and Cookies. Chaos Explained with Vanilla. And more !
