"Conceiving Persons" is an international exploration of the
symbolism of reproduction. The emphasis is on the core metaphors
and practices of human sexual and social reproduction in their
personal, societal, and cosmological contexts. The roles of a range
of substances-blood, semen, milk, and food-and their specific parts
in the creation of the character of fetus and infant are assessed.
Particular attention is paid to the construction of gender and its
implications. Case studies are drawn from European peasant
societies and from communities in Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin
America.
