9781648250712: Rethinking the Public Fetus: Historical Perspectives on the Visual Culture of Pregnancy

Synopsis

In this timely book, scholars from a range of disciplines highlight visualizations of pregnant and fetal bodies in a variety of geographical and cultural contexts, spanning a period of more than 300 years. By reengaging with the crucial concept of the "public fetus," coined by feminist scholars in the 1980s and 1990s, the volume aims to revitalize the scholarly discussion on the visual culture of pregnancy and demonstrate the constructed nature of fetal images.
