Fertile Visions conceptualises the uterus as a narrative space so
that the female reproductive body can be understood beyond the
constraints of a gendered analysis. Unravelling pregnancy from
notions of maternity and mothering demands that we think
differently about narratives of reproduction. This is crucial in
the current global political climate wherein the gender-specificity
of pregnancy contributes to how bodies that reproduce are
marginalised, controlled, and criminalised. Anne Carruthers
demonstrates fascinating and insightful close analyses of films
such as Juno, Birth, Ixcanul and Arrival as examples of the uterus
as a narrative space. Fertile Visions engages with research on the
foetal ultrasound scan as well as phenomenologies, affect and
spectatorship in film studies to offer a new way to look, think and
analyse pregnancy and the pregnant body in cinema from the
Americas.
