The Visualised Foetus

A Cultural and Political Analysis of Ultrasound Imagery

Viac o knihe

Exploring the implications of 3/4D ultrasound technology, the book delves into its diffusion beyond clinical settings and its impact on biopolitics in Europe and America. It highlights non-diagnostic and commercial uses, particularly within the abortion debate, and discusses claims regarding maternal-foetal bonding. The narrative reveals tensions between the social and medical meanings of foetal ultrasound, addressing the complexities of foetal imagery, its perceived pleasures and dangers for women, and the contested authority over its interpretation and scientific validity.
