Reproductive Technologies as Global Form: Ethnographies of Knowledge, Practices, and Transnational Encounters (Eigene Und Fremde Welten, 19) - Softcover
Synopsis
In the thirty years since the first “test-tube baby,” in-vitro fertilization and other methods of reproductive assistance have become a common aspect of family life and medicine in developed nations—and, increasingly, throughout the world. This collection brings together ethnographic studies of how these reproductive technologies are deployed across a wide variety of nations and cultures, taking special account of how they are linked to aspirations towards modernity—and how they contribute to an ongoing reconfiguration of the boundaries of knowledge and human agency. The resulting volume offers both a current snapshot of the cultural state of reproductive technologies and a plethora of provocative questions for the future.

Review
“[Reproductive Technologies as Global Form] ambitiously promises to introduce innovative core questions and modes of analysis to the social studies of ARTs [Assisted Reproduction Technologies], and it delivers on its promise convincingly by taking the border (both geopolitical and socio-cultural as well as economic) as a strategic site for the analysis of already existing global processes. The practices of border reinforcing and border crossing and the resulting tension between sameness and difference surface as an important perspective from which to analyze emerging transnational ART developments. In an astute fashion, concerns with the economic inequalities of an increasingly ‘stratified reproduction’ are combined with the local variability of technical aspects and their convergence with other technologies. . . . The attempt to merge new approaches makes this volume of interest to readers in transnational studies, science and technology studies, and the ethnography of globalization not familiar with ARTs. The ethnographies are captivating and detailed, and innovative in raising new ethical questions on the role of ethnographer as vector of new global spaces.” (Mauro Turrini, Université de Paris / Panthéon-Sorbonne Sociology)

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Seit vor 30 Jahren das erste »Reagenzglas- Baby« der Welt geboren wurde, haben sich In- vitro-Fertilisation (IVF) und andere Technologien »assistierter « Reproduktion weltweit verbreitet. Behandlung Suchende, Spenderinnen von Eizellen, Samenbanken und Ärzte agieren über nationale Grenzen hinweg, nicht selten entlang der Wohlstandsbruchlinien zwischen Ost und West und Nord und Süd. Die Autoren zeichnen in ethnografischen Studien die große Vielfalt lokaler Anwendungen von Reproduktionstechnologien auf vier Kontinenten nach und folgen gleichzeitig den transnationalen Routen des Medizinmarktes. Die Reproduktionsmedizin steht dabei beispielhaft für die biotechnologische Globalisierung.In the thirty-five years since the first 'test-tube baby,' in-vitro fertilization and other methods of reproductive assistance have become a common aspect of family life and medicine in affluent nations and, increasingly, throughout the world. How do persons seeking treatment, donors, and medical experts make use of these reproductive technologies How in crossing borders between nations do they manage to evade legal and bioethical regulations And how do they make sense of these new modes of making kinship against the backdrop of diverse worldviews and social settings In bringing together a wide array of ethnographic studies this volume offers both a current snapshot of the complexity and diversity of local or national IVF-cultures and of emerging transnational forms of mobility, competition, inequality and collaboration. Reproductive technologies as global form refer to the simultaneity of replicating standards and creating differences, of displacements and reappropriations, raising a plethora of provocative questions for the future.
