Lisa Mitchell provides a critical anthropological perspective on the fetal subject, particularly as it emerges through the practice of ultrasound imaging.'Seeing the baby,' is now a routine and expected part of pregnancy and prenatal care in Canada. Conventionally understood as a neutral and passive technology, ultrasound appears to be a 'window' through which to observe fetal sex, age, size, physical normality, and behaviour. However, Mitchell argues, what is seen through ultrasound is neither self-evident nor natural, but historically and culturally contingent and subject to a wide range of interpretation.Drawing upon fieldwork over the past ten years, the author includes observations at ultrasound clinics, interviews with pregnant women and their partners, and a discussion on how ultrasound's echoes become meaningful as 'baby's first picture' - a snapshot of the fetus in utero.Throughout, Mitchell probes our acceptance of this technology, our willingness to take fetal imaging for granted, and illuminates the links between this technologically mediated 'fetal reality' and the politics of gender and reproduction in Canada. 606 $aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$xSocial aspects 606 $aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al$vCase studies 606 $aPregnant women$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al$xAttitudes 606 $aMedical personnel$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al$xAttitudes 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aFetus$xUltrasonic imaging 615 0$aPregnant women$xAttitudes. 615 0$aMedical personnel$xAttitudes. 676 $a618.3/207543 700 $aMitchell$b Lisa Meryn$01031453 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456439403321 996 $aBaby's first picture$92448850 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02515nam 2200589Ia 450 001 9910459305003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-55459-X 010 $a9786612554599 010 $a0-309-13928-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000016836 035 $a(EBL)3378600 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000339922 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11293899 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000339922 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10387103 035 $a(PQKB)10963976 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3378600 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3378600 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10379893 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL255459 035 $a(OCoLC)923281615 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000016836 100 $a20091020d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLocal government actions to prevent childhood obesity$b[electronic resource] /$fCommittee on Childhood Obesity Prevention Actions for Local Governments, Food and Nutrition Board ...
