Male Pregnancy, Matrix, and Hospitality -- Conclusion: Hosting the Mother -- Notes -- References -- IndexThe question "Where do we come from?" has fascinated philosophers, scientists, and artists for generations. This book reorients the question of the matrix as a place where everything comes from (chora, womb, incubator) by recasting it in terms of acts of "matrixial/maternal hospitality" producing space and matter of and for the other. Irina Aristarkhova theorizes such hospitality with the potential to go beyond tolerance in understanding self/other relations. Building on and critically evaluating a wide range of historical and contemporary scholarship, she applies this theoretical framework to the science, technology, and art of ectogenesis (artificial womb, neonatal incubators, and other types of generation outside of the maternal body) and proves the question "Can the machine nurse?" is critical when approaching and understanding the functional capacities and failures of incubating technologies, such as artificial placenta. Aristarkhova concludes with the science and art of male pregnancy, positioning the condition as a question of the hospitable man and newly defined fatherhood and its challenge to the conception of masculinity as unable to welcome the other.Birth (Philosophy)Human reproductionReproductionSex roleNurturing behaviorHospitalityMiscellaneaBirth (Philosophy)Human reproduction.Reproduction.Sex role.Nurturing behavior.HospitalityMiscellanea.361/.0072Aristarkhova Irina, 1037564DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910463389803321Hospitality of the Matrix2458619UNINA04032oam 22005292 450 991058596100332120240229185714.01-108-80736-41-108-80785-21-108-77212-9(CKB)4100000011970470(UkCbUP)CR9781108772129(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/90889(EXLCZ)99410000001197047020190403d2021|||| uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDo-gooders at the end of aid Scandinavian humanitarianism in the twenty-first century /edited by Antoine de Bengy Puyvallée, Kristian BjørkdahlCambridge University Press2021Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2021.1 online resource (xx, 274 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Social SciencesTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 12 Jul 2021).1-108-48879-X Introduction: On the resilience of the Scandinavian humanitarian brand -- Fantasy, distinction, shame : the stickiness of the Nordic "good state" brand / Christopher S.

This book highlights how the political culture of Scandinavia is indeed characterized by the idea of doing good on the world stage, but then shows how this 'Scandinavian humanitarian brand' is an asset that policymakers and others can capitalize on to legitimize policy interventions and ideas, or to advance commercial, diplomatic, and security interests. Providing case studies from all Scandinavian countries, this book shows how the brand is made, reinforced, and used in a variety of policy contexts, from foreign aid and humanitarian assistance; to military operations, peace-building, and mediation; to migration policy, global health, and international cooperation. A key objective of the book is to explain why the Scandinavian humanitarian brand retains such apparent resilience in a time when Scandinavia's characteristic approach to world affairs seems challenged from many sides at once.
