Disjointed Perspectives on Motherhood presents the accounts of
mothers who have suffered a major physical and/or psychically
traumatic accident, and, as a consequence, their minds and bodies
have been drastically changed. They live under the pressure of
having discovered the alter ego of their traumatized personality,
and now, distressed, cannot embrace their unconditional maternal
love. Instead, they enter into a phase where they face the
challenge of revealing who they are as persons before accepting or
motivating themselves as mothers. The mothers presented in this
volume also seem to have another thing in common: their
transnational, fluid, female identity as they enter into an
imaginary dialog that transcends geographical and temporal
perspectives on womanhood and motherhood. This collection
introduces and analyzes recurrent words that define a woman's body
and mind today: fear, competition, motherhood and career rights,
selfishness, ambition, destruction, distance, and identity. By
using unprecedented comparative critical approaches such as
phenomenological, medical, feminist, and re-enchantinent theories,
and by analyzing works from literature, cinema, and visual arts,
this collection attempts to reestablish and redefine a canonical
concept with the intention to revitalize an otherwise
taken-for-granted image and role.
