- Description
- In this book the author reveals how visual representations of racialized motherhood shape and reflect national citizenship. By means of a sustained engagement with Roland Barthes’s suturing of race, death, and the maternal in Camera Lucida, Tapia contends that the contradictory essence of the photograph is both as a signifier of death and a guarantor of resurrection. She explores the implications of this argument for racialized productions of death and the maternal in the context of specific cultural moments: the commemoration of Princess Diana in U.S. magazines: the intertext of Toni Morrison’s and Hollywood’s Beloved: the social and cultural death in teen pregnancy, imaged and regulated in California’s Partnership for Responsible Parenting campaigns: and popular constructions of the “Widows of 9/11” in print and televisual journalism.

- Description
- Since World War II, the biological and technological have been fusing and merging in new ways, resulting in the loss of a clear distinction between the two. As this process permeates more of everyday life, the urgent necessity arises to rethink both biology and technology. The human body can no longer be regarded either as a bounded entity or as a naturally given and distinct part of an unquestioned whole. This book assumes a posthuman definition of the body. It is grounded in questions about today's biocultures, which pertain neither to humanist bodily integrity nor to the anthropological assumption that human bodies are the only ones that matter. In exploring current reconfigurations of bodies and embodied subjects, the contributors pursue a technophilic path while articulating new and thoroughly appraised ethical standards.

- Description
- With marriage in decline, divorce on the rise, the demise of the nuclear family, and the increase in marriages and adoptions among same-sex partners, it is clear that the structures of kinship in the modern West are in a state of flux.In this book Godelier contextualizes these developments, surveying the accumulated experience of humanity with regard to such phenomena as the organization of lines of descent, sexuality and sexual prohibitions. Godelier also studies the evolution of Western conjugal and familial traditions from their roots in the nineteenth century to the present. The conclusion he draws is that it is never the case that a man and a woman are sufficient on their own to raise a child, and nowhere are relations of kinship or the family the keystone of society.
