When we next see our homeland, all will be changed forever." Elsie's life seems nearly perfect when she returns home from her honeymoon.

Es befähigt Sie dazu, loszulassen, alles richtig zu machen, perfekt zu sein und weder Ihre Kinder noch sich selbst zu enttäuschen. Es unterstützt Sie dabei, das Gefühl aufzugeben, als Elternteil zu versagen. Elternschaft wie ein Guru erfordert das Loslassen von all dem und noch mehr.

Embodying Culture: Pregnancy In Japan And Israel
by Tsipy IvryEmbodying Culture is an ethnographically grounded exploration of pregnancy in two different cultures--Japan and Israel--both of which medicalize pregnancy. Tsipy Ivry focuses on "low-risk" or "normal" pregnancies, using cultural comparison to explore the complex relations among ethnic ideas about procreation, local reproductive politics, medical models of pregnancy care, and local modes of maternal agency. The ethnography pieces together the voices of pregnant Japanese and Israeli women, their doctors, their partners, the literature they read, and depicts various clinical encounters such as ultrasound scans, explanatory classes for amniocentesis, birthing classes, and special pregnancy events. The emergent pictures suggest that athough experiences of pregnancy in Japan and Israel differ, pregnancy in both cultures is an energy-consuming project of meaning-making-- suggesting that the sense of biomedical technologies are not only in the technologies themselves but are assigned by those who practice and experience them.
Embodying the Problem: The Persuasive Power of the Teen Mother
by Jenna VinsonThe dominant narrative of teen pregnancy persuades many people to believe that a teenage pregnancy always leads to devastating consequences for a young woman, her child, and the nation in which they reside. Jenna Vinson draws on feminist and rhetorical theory to explore how pregnant and mothering teens are represented as problems in U.S. newspapers, political discourses, and teenage pregnancy prevention campaigns since the 1970s. Vinson shows that these representations prevent a focus on the underlying structures of inequality and poverty, perpetuate harmful discourses about women, and sustain racialized gender ideologies that construct women’s bodies as sites of national intervention and control.Embodying the Problem also explores how young mothers resist this narrative. Analyzing fifty narratives written by young mothers, the recent #NoTeenShame social media campaign, and her interviews with thirty-three young women, Vinson argues that while the stigmatization of teenage pregnancy and motherhood does dehumanize young pregnant and mothering women, it is at the same time a means for these women to secure an audience for their own messages.
