Today, it often seems as though Assisted Reproductive Technologies
(ARTs) have reached a stage of normalization, at least in some
countries and among certain social groups. Apparently some
practices - for example in vitro fertilization (IVF) - have become
standard worldwide. The contributors to Assisted Reproduction
Across Borders argue against normalization as an uncontested
overall trend. This volume reflects on the state of the art of
ARTs. From feminist perspectives, the contributors focus on
contemporary political debates triggered by ARTs. They examine the
varying ways in which ARTs are interpreted and practised in
different contexts, depending on religious, moral and political
approaches. Assisted Reproduction Across Borders embeds feminist
analysis of ARTs across a wide variety of countries and cultural
contexts, discussing controversial practices such as surrogacy from
the perspective of the global South as well as the global North as
well as inequalities in terms of access to IVF. This volume will
appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, ethnography,
philosophy, political science, history, sociology, film studies,
media studies, literature, art history, area studies, and
interdisciplinary areas such as gender studies, cultural studies,
and postcolonial studies.
