Ourselves Unborn argues that the meanings people attribute to the fetus are not based simply on biological fact or theological truth, but are in fact strongly influenced by competing definitions of personhood and identity, beliefs about knowledge and authority, and assumptions about gender roles and sexuality. In addition, these meanings can be shaped by dramatic historical change: over the course of the twentieth century, medical and technological changes made fetal development more comprehensible, while political and social changes made the fetus a subject of public controversy. Moreover, since the late nineteenth century, questions about how fetal life develops and should be valued have frequently intersected with debates about the authority of science and religion, and the relationship between the individual and society. In examining the contested history of fetal meanings, Sara Dubow brings a fresh perspective to these vital debates.FetusUnited StatesHistory20th centuryFetusLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesObstetricsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPerinatologyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryElectronic books.FetusHistoryFetusLegal status, laws, etc.ObstetricsHistoryPerinatologyHistory362.198/32Dubow Sara899972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459053103321Ourselves unborn2010819UNINA03347nam 22006375 450 991045257550332120200707022542.01-282-13433-797866138069181-84769-736-410.21832/9781847697363(CKB)2550000000108270(EBL)977741(OCoLC)824487095(MiAaPQ)EBC977741(DE-B1597)491489(OCoLC)808341488(DE-B1597)9781847697363(EXLCZ)99255000000010827020200707h20122012 fg engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEuropean Multilingualism Current Perspectives and Challenges /Rosita Rindler Schjerve, Eva VetterBlue Ridge Summit, PA : Multilingual Matters, [2012]©20121 online resource (232 p.)Multilingual MattersDescription based upon print version of record.1-84769-734-8 Includes bibliographical references.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- List of Abbreviations -- Introduction -- 1. European Multilingualism: Political Scope -- 2. European Multilingualism as a Field of Research -- 3. The LINEE Project -- 4. European Multilingualism Beyond LINEE -- Conclusion -- References -- AppendixThis book provides a broad sociolinguistic perspective on major questions of political and cultural Europeanization. It is concerned with European multilingualism as it actually results from the intersecting endeavour of policy making and scientific research. This volume argues that the EU must overcome the major discrepancies of its linguistic diversity politics by developing into a multiple inclusive society beyond the nation-state in order to seriously unfold European multilingualism as a political goal. Expanding on the theoretical and methodological approaches developed within the EU project LINEE (Languages in a Network of European Excellence), this book further focuses on the LINEE key variables of European multilingualism i.e. 'culture', 'discourse', 'identity', 'ideology', 'knowledge', 'LPP', 'multi-competence', and 'power & conflict'. Against this background, this study argues for reconceptualising European multilingualism on the basis of an integrative and multi-focal approach.Second language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;147.MultilingualismEuropeLinguistic minoritiesEuropeLanguage policyEuropeSecond language acquisitionEuropeElectronic books.MultilingualismLinguistic minoritiesLanguage policySecond language acquisition306.44/6094306.446094404.2094Rindler Schjerve Rosita, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut157722Vetter Eva, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910452575503321European Multilingualism2456666UNINA
