Hardcover. Research and practice that challenges dominant narratives around motherhood. Performing Maternities is a collection of essays, creative work, images, and scripts that emerged out of an online international symposium held at Brighton University in November 2020. Together, the contributors challenge, celebrate, and share the normative, the queer, the transgressive, the joy, and the pain of performing maternity. The book asks key questions about the construction of maternal identities and mythologies in the contemporary world; the ways these affect individuals in different social, economic, and sexual identities; and howas mothers, writers, artists, parents, and grandparentswe can address and challenge those identities. By giving voice to these women and men, this book honours the diversity of maternities, and validates new academic and creative methods in figuring herstory as a patchwork intersection of voices across and through time simultaneously acknowledging difference and diversity as well as commonality. 32 b&w illus.

About this title

Synopsis

Research and practice that challenges dominant narratives around motherhood.

Performing Maternities is a collection of essays, creative work, images, and scripts that emerged out of an online international symposium held at Brighton University in November 2020. Together, the contributors challenge, celebrate, and share the normative, the queer, the transgressive, the joy, and the pain of performing maternity. The book asks key questions about the construction of maternal identities and mythologies in the contemporary world; the ways these affect individuals in different social, economic, and sexual identities; and how—as mothers, writers, artists, parents, and grandparents—we can address and challenge those identities.
