Sommario/riassunto |
|
In the first book to examine the industry of reproductive technology from the perspective of the consumer, Gay Becker scrutinizes the staggering array of medical options available to women and men with fertility problems and assesses the toll-both financial and emotional-that the quest for a biological child often exacts from would-be parents. Becker interviewed hundreds of people over a period of years; their stories are presented here in their own words. Absorbing, informative, and in many cases moving, these stories address deep-seated notions about gender, self-worth, and the cultural ideal of |

biological parenthood. Becker moves beyond people's personal experiences to examine contemporary meanings of technology and the role of consumption in modern life. What emerges is a clear view of technology as culture, with technology the template on which issues such as gender, nature, and the body are being rewritten and continuously altered. The Elusive Embryo chronicles the history and development of reproductive technology, and shows how global forces in consumer culture have contributed to the industry's growth. Becker examines how increasing use of reproductive technology has changed ideas about "natural" pregnancy and birth. Discussing topics such as in vitro fertilization, how men and women "naturalize" the use of a donor, and what happens when new reproductive technologies don't work, Becker shows how the experience of infertility has become increasingly politicized as potential parents confront the powerful forces that shape this industry. The Elusive Embryo is accessible, well written, and well documented. It will be an invaluable resource for people using or considering new reproductive technologies as well as for social scientists and health professionals. |

Sommario/riassunto |

De 1739 à 2002, la BNF s'est enrichie d'une collection de plus de deux mille volumes manuscrits en persan, dont beaucoup sont enluminés, anciens ou contiennent des copies uniques de textes rares. La longue |

histoire de la constitution du fonds persan de la BNF met en scène savants, voyageurs, interprètes et collectionneurs les plus divers, militaires ou médecins, qui déposent ou vendent les collections accumulées durant leurs voyages et missions diplomatiques en Inde et en Perse. Dans ce tableau des études françaises sur la civilisation persane classique, émergent les noms prestigieux de L. M. Langlès, S. de Sacy, A. L. de Chézy, Otter, Simon de Vierville, ou encore Anquetil-Duperron. La transmission des textes persans pose le problème de la filiation des manuscrits, discipline érudite de l'histoire des textes où les arguments philologiques et stylistiques corroborent ou infirment les données de l'analyse codicologique. Francis Richard se livre à une véritable traque des variantes, marques de relecture ou corrections et fait revivre des grands ateliers comme ceux de la ville de Chîrâz entre le XIIIe et le XVIIe siècle ; il apporte des éclairages sur le rôle du mécénat princier. À la frontière entre transmission orale et transmission écrite, l'étude du mode de survie des textes poétiques peut être illustrée, juste avant que la Perse n'adopte le chiisme comme religion officielle au début du XVIe siècle, par la vogue extraordinaire de l'œuvre de Djâmî, figure emblématique du Hérât timouride et poète adulé des Ottomans. Quelques exemples montrent de quelle manière s'est manifesté le succès de son œuvre, recopiée et illustrée à l'envi. Enfin, Francis Richard attire l'attention sur un type de décor à la fois omniprésent dans les manuscrits persans et éclipsé par la miniature qui a beaucoup plus attiré l'attention des amateurs et des spécialistes d'histoire de l'art, les frontispices initiaux ou sarlowh que l'on trouve en tête de nombre de manuscrits. Or il s'agit d'un… |
