Abstract

Die boomende Kinderwunschökonomie ist auch in der Türkei ein umkämpftes Feld. Nurhak Polats Analyse fragt, welche Selbst- und Körperpolitiken, Rechtsansprüche und Handlungsmöglichkeiten produziert, ausgefochten und in Bewegung gesetzt werden. Ihre ethnografische Studie, die auf Untersuchungen im medizinischen Alltag sowie On- und Offline-Plattformen der Selbsthilfe basiert, erkundet die geschlechtsspezifischen Wissenspraktiken im Umgang mit »techno-medizinisch assistierter« Zeugung. Sie analysiert, wie Frauen und Männer ihre Wege zum ersehnten Kind navigieren, und ihre Aushandlungen mit Reproduktionstechnologien, patriarchalem Pronatalismus sowie den staatlichen und medizinischen Paternalismen. In den Blick geraten so neben den körperlich-sozialen Erfahrungen auch bio-subpolitische Veränderungsprozesse. »Ein wichtiger Beitrag für alle diejenigen, die ein Interesse daran haben zu verstehen, wie Biomedizin, Staatlichkeit, Aktivismus und Geschlecht zusammenspielen.« Sebastian Mohr, Bayerisches Jahrbuch für Volkskunde, 04.09.2020

Abstract

The Cancer Within examines cervical cancer in Romania as a point of entry into an anthropological reflection on contemporary health care. Cervical cancer prevention reveals the inner workings of emerging post-communist medicine, which aligns the state and the market, public and private health care providers, policy makers, and ordinary women. Fashioned by patriarchal relations, lived religion, and the historical trauma of pronatalism, Romanian women’s responses to reproductive medicine and cervical cancer prevention are complicated by neoliberal reforms to medical care. Cervical cancer prevention – and especially the HPV vaccination – provided Romanians a legitimate instance to express their conflicting views of post-communist medicine. What sets Romania apart is that pronatalism, patriarchy, lived religion, medical reforms, and moral contestation of preventive medicine bring into line systemic contingencies that expose the historical, social, and cultural trajectories of cervical cancer.

Abstract

"Brazil has the tragic distinction of having endured the longest military-authoritarian regime in South America. Yet the country is distinctive for another reason: in the 1970s and 1980s it witnessed the emergence and development of perhaps the largest, most diverse, most radical, and most successful women's movement in contemporary Latin America. This book tells the compelling story of the rise of progressive women's movements amidst the climate of political repression and economic crisis enveloping Brazil in the 1970s, and it devotes particular attention to the gender politics of the final stages of regime transition in the 1980s." "Situating Brazil in a comparative theoretical framework, the author analyzes the relationship between nonrevolutionary political change and changes in women's consciousness and mobilization. Her engaging analysis of the potentialities for promoting social justice and transforming relations of inequality for women and men in Latin America and elsewhere in the Third World makes this book essential reading for all students and teachers of Latin American politics, comparative social movements and public policy, and women's studies and feminist political theory. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
