Abstract

Shadow of the Other is a discussion of how the individual has two sorts of relationships with an "other"--other beings, other individuals. The first regards the other as an entirely different being from oneself, but one which is still recognizable. The second understands and recognizes this other by its function as a repository of characteristics cast from oneself. In recognizing how this dual relationship is reconciled within the self, and its implications in male/female relations, Jessica Benjamin continues her exploration of intersubjectivity and gender, taking up questions of contemporary debates in feminist theory and psychoanalysis

Abstract

Aging in women has traditionally been defined by the menopause, however it is often social and economic changes which are more important to women.In Aging in Women Linda Gannon redresses the balance. From a feminist perspective, she critically reviews current research and provides a more comprehensive analysis of the psychological effects of life-span changes for older women. Some of the topics she explores include second careers, empty-nest, divorce, chronic illness, retirement and sexuality.

Abstract

In 'Caring', Peta Bowden extends and challenges recent debates on feminist ethics. She takes issue with accounts of the ethics of care that focus on alleged basic principles of caring rather than analysing caring in practice. Caring, Bowden argues, must be understood by 'working through examples'. Following this approach, Bowden explores four main caring practices : mothering, friendship, nursing and citizenship. Her analysis of the differences and similarities in these practices - their varying degrees of intimacy and reciprocity, formality and informality, vulnerability and choice - reveals the practical complexity of the ethics of care. 'Caring' recognizes that ethical practices constantly outrun the theories that attempt to explain them, and Bowden's unique approach provides major new insights into the nature of care without resorting to indiscriminate unitary models. It will be essential reading for all those interested in ethics, gender studies, nursing and the caring professions. Peta Bowden is lecturer in philosophy at Murdoch university, Western Australia.

Abstract

In vitro fertilisatie (IVF)-reageerbuisbevruchting - riep in de jaren 80 veel emoties op. De pers bracht het beeld van wanhopige vrouwen die maar niet zwanger konden raken. De betrokken artsen presenteerden deze techniek als de oplossing voor de onvervulde kinderwens. Het toenmalige ministerie van WVC wist zich geen raad met IVF en liet de ontwikkelingen op hun beloop. De politieke partijen durfden geen duidelijk standpunt in te nemen. De vrouwenbeweging bediscussieerde of door IVF de autonomie van vrouwen bij de voortplanting wel groter werd. Intussen werd IVF op steeds groter schaal toegepast. Draagmoederschap, het gebruik van IVF door alleenstaande en lesbische vrouwen, eiceldonaties en embryoonderzoek, de kranten stonden er vol mee. In de commotie verdwenen de belangrijke vragen naar de effectiviteit en veiligheid van deze techniek naar de achtergrond. Noch de politiek noch de nationale overheid hield voldoende rekening met de belangrijke vragen van de vrouwenbeweging inzake voortplantingstechnieken. Besluiten werden genomen op basis van vooronderstellingen die ook nu nog niet hard zijn gemaakt. Dertien jaar na de geboorte van de eerste Nederlandse 'ivf-baby' is de veiligheid van ivf nog steeds niet degelijk onderzocht. Toch worden er steeds nieuwe, verdergaande bevruchtingstechnieken behandeld voor de onvruchtbaarheid van hun mannen.

Genetics is not gender neutral in its impact. In this book, the author cites a wide range of biological and psychosocial examples that reveal its different impact on men and women, especially with regard to reproduction and caregiving.She examines the extent to which these differences are associated with gender injustice, arguing for positions that reduce inequality between the sexes.

Abstract

Depuis une cinquantaine d'années, le réflexion philosophique prend la mesure des développements de la médecine et des biotechnologies, mais en Europe, elle ne s'attarde guère aux enjeux des diverses représentations de la femme et de l'homme en bioéthique. Attentive à cette dimension, la perspective " genre " analyse la sexualisation des rôles sociaux, politiques et économiques et la manière dont l'égalité des droits est réellement respectée dans la vie publique et privée. Prenant le contre-pied des manipulations idéologiques ou des rejets violents et mal informés, cet ouvrage témoigne de par la variété des thèmes abordés de l'intérêt différencié que des philosophes issues de cinq pays européens accordent aux questions soulevées actuellement par la bioéthique. Loin de se cantonner au domaine de la reproduction médicalement assistée, ces études de genre abordent le statut du corps techniquement reconfiguré à travers le cyborg, analysent le concept de sujet, envisagent de manière critique l'éthique du souci de l'autre, confrontent les objectifs normalisateurs de la bioéthique à la pluralité des approches contextuelles, s'interrogent sur la notion de génération ou mènent des recherches comparatives en biodroit.

Abstract

Do women do science differently? This is a history of women in science and a frank assessment of the role of gender in shaping scientific knowledge. Science is both a profession and a body of knowledge, and Londa Schiebinger looks at how women have fared and performed in both instances. Shoe first considers the lives of women scientists, past and present. Schiebinger debunks the myth that women scientists - because they are women - are somehow more holistic and integrative and create more cooperative scientific communities. However, have feminist perspectives brought any positive change to scientific knowledge? Schiebinger provides a nuanced gender analysis of the physical sciences, medicine, archaeology, evolutionary biology, primatology, and developmental biology. She also shows that feminist scientists have developed new theories, asked new questions, and opened new fields in many of these areas.
