Abstract

"By means of a historical, legal and scientific approach, this book identifies the issues, progress and setbacks in the right for women to access abortion in various countries of the Global North. The book provides insights on the past, present and potential actions and struggles in the future about continuing to have the right to procure an abortion. Rites and rituals in order to better understand the practices of Asian countries, such as China, Japan and Taiwan, permeate discussions and debates. The volume presents the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic on access to abortion healthcare services and abortion, and the innovative initiatives and schemes designed and implemented. The latter encourages health professionals and decision-makers to reflect on the 'good practices' to retain and develop over the long term. This edited collection is intended for academics and students across the social sciences and healthcare sector, members of the legal profession, healthcare professionals, activists, policy-makers, and any stakeholders working for and caring about women's reproductive rights and abortion rights"--

Abstract

"Divided into fifteen chapters, this book provides the reader with an insight into certain representations of mothers and motherhood in history and today's societies in some areas of the world, notably in Asia. Key facts about the history of motherhood are presented, together with the use of very recent notions and phrases portraying 'good' and 'bad' mothers. An analysis of the concepts of naming and blaming, along with regret with respect to mothers in twenty-first century societies, provides food for thought. Other issues addressed are varied and numerous: the politics of early intervention, feminist critique, mothers with disabilities and mothers of disabled children, incarcerared mothers, surrogate mothers, teenage mothers, lesbian mothers, and mothering in Eastern Asia, namely in China, Japan, and Korea. Interestingly, both visual arts and literature play a crucial role in this analysis. The publication will appeal to students, academics, researchers, and the general public interested in and seeking to comprehend the shifts which have occurred over time in connection with the vast and inexhaustible subject of motherhood and mothers - a private and public matter. Readers are also provided with a rich reference section dealing with the latest publications on the issues tackled by prominent academics and researchers in human geography, women's studies, sociology, gender studies, contemporary history, and the arts"--

Abstract

Au XXIe siècle, la jeunesse est très souvent associée à des représentations négatives. Si l’on se fie au discours politique, aux médias et à l’opinion publique au Royaume-Uni et en France, les jeunes constitueraient une génération désœuvrée et dangereuse pour l’ordre social. Or, comme le montre cet ouvrage, le principal enjeu auquel sont confrontés les pouvoirs publics des deux côtés de la Manche concerne le déclin des formes traditionnelles de participation juvénile à la vie politique. Rassemblant des contributions de sociologues et politistes spécialistes de la jeunesse, ce livre aborde les questions de l'engagement politique, de la citoyenneté et des mutations des politiques de jeunesse. Dans les deux pays, on constate la confrontation de deux principaux types de politiques de jeunesse. D’abord, un volet « répressif » qui fait appel à des dispositifs publics fondés sur la stigmatisation et le contrôle social ; ensuite, un nouveau volet « d’accompagnement » visant à promouvoir la citoyenneté et la participation à la vie publique et à susciter un renouvellement des formes de l’engagement politique. Bien que prometteuse, cette seconde approche n’est pas dénuée de tensions et de contradictions ainsi que le mettent en évidence les travaux ici réunis.
