Following the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, Assisted
Reproductive Technologies became available to a small number of
people in high-income countries able to afford the cost of private
treatment, a period seen as the "First Phase" of ARTs. In the
"Second Phase," these treatments became increasingly available to
cosmopolitan global elites. Today, this picture is changing -
albeit slowly and unevenly - as ARTs are becoming more widely
available. While, for many, accessing infertility treatments
remains a dream, these are beginning to be viewed as a standard
part of reproductive healthcare and family planning. This volume
highlights this "Third Phase" - the opening up of ARTs to new
constituencies in terms of ethnicity, geography, education, and
class.
The Time of Anthropology provides a series of compelling
anthropological case studies that explore the different
temporalities at play in the scientific discourses, governmental
techniques and policy practices through which modern life is
shaped. Together they constitute a novel analysis of contemporary
chronopolitics. The contributions focus on state power,
citizenship, and ecologies of time to reveal the scalar properties
of chronopolitics as it shifts between everyday lived realities and
the macro-institutional work of nation states. The collection
charts important new directions for chronopolitical thinking in the
future of anthropological research.

Recent decades have seen spectacular increases in the levels of
divorce and separation across the Western world. This important
development is having a radical impact on the conduct and nature of
family relationships. This book offers an original investigation of
these critical transformations through an ethnographic analysis of
post-divorce family life in Britain and provides insightful answers
to vexing questions, such as:
- What cultural values and ideologies motivate and shape concerns
over relationships when marriage ends?
- Which relationships continue and why?
- What cultural values underpin the financial transactions that
take place or (more commonly) fail to take place after divorce?
Drawing on extensive interviews with those most affected by
divorce, the author argues that the positive sentiments
traditionally associated with the notion of kinship are wholly
inadequate when it comes to understanding divorce, but that kinship
can provide an illuminating window through which to consider the
breakdown of marital relations.
This book represents a significant contribution to current debates
over the changing form and expression of relationships in Western
society in the late twentieth century.
