{"product_id":"bearing-the-weight-of-the-alys-einion-9781772581713","title":"Bearing the Weight of the World Exploring Maternal Embodiment","description":"The maternal body is a site of contested dynamics of power, identity, experience, autonomy, occupation, and control. Representations of the maternal body can mis\/represent the childbearing and mothering form variously, often as monstrous, idealized, limited, scrutinized, or occupied, whilst dominant discourses limit motherhood through social devaluation. The maternal body has long been a hypervisible artifact: at once bracketed out in the interest of elevating the contributions of sperm-carriers or fetal status; and regarded with hostility and suspicion as out of control. Such arguments are deployed to justify surveillance mechanisms, medical scrutiny, and expectation of self-discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alys Einion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772581712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772581713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Demeter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alys Einion","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637295137023,"sku":"9781772581713","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dbb306e-7830-4b9d-9d86-29b81f5a52a6.jpg?v=1765115268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bearing-the-weight-of-the-alys-einion-9781772581713","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
