Kristina E. Schellinski uncovers the hidden trauma of the replacement child – born into an atmosphere of grief to substitute for a lost sibling or other person – and helps adult replacement children discover the uniqueness of their self. Schellinski combines Jungian theory with research from over 20 years of clinical practice to demonstrate how adult replacement children who suffer from physical and psychological distress can rediscover the essence of their being in the transformative process of individuation. Theoretical yet practical, the book discusses core concepts of analytical psychology, psychoanalysis and attachment theory, and detailed case studies address grief, guilt, identity...
"Esta es una invitación a luchar juntes por un mundo donde haya madres más libres y autónomas, que sean el cimiento de una sociedad más justa" CRN ¿Las feministas no deberían ser madres? ¿Tener hijos es un obstáculo para la vida profesional? ¿Existe el instinto materno o es un mandato patriarcal? ¿La lactancia es un deber o una decisión? ¿Cuánto vale gestar un bebé y criar a los ciudadanos del futuro? ¿La teoría del apego es un invento que busca esclavizar a las cuidadoras? ¿Las madres deben seguir confinadas a la esfera privada y evitar participar en la defensa de sus derechos? Sobre estas y otras preguntas pone la lupa Catalina Ruiz-Navarro. El resultado es un texto reflexivo, cuestionador, que va muchas veces a contracorriente, nos ilumina en torno a esa compleja tarea y nos invita a movilizarnos y a luchar para que todas las maternidades sean deseadas.
Sacrificial Limbs chronicles the everyday lives and political activism of disabled veterans of Turkey’s Kurdish war, one of the most volatile conflicts in the Middle East. Through nuanced ethnographic portraits, Açiksöz examines how veterans’ experiences of war and disability are closely linked to class, gender, and ultimately the embrace of ultranationalist right-wing politics. Bringing the reader into military hospitals, commemorations, political demonstrations, and veterans’ everyday spaces of care, intimacy, and activism, Sacrificial Limbs provides a vivid analysis of the multiple and sometimes contradictory forces that fashion veterans’ bodies, political subjectivities, and communities. It is essential reading for students and scholars interested in anthropology, masculinity, and disability.

In the years since the publication of Adrienne Rich's Of Woman Born, the topic of motherhood has emerged as a central issue in feminist scholarship. Arguably still the best feminist book on mothering and motherhood, Of Woman Born is not only a wide-ranging, far-reaching meditation on the meaning and experience of motherhood that draws from the disciplines of anthropology, feminist theory, psychology, and literature, but it also narrates Rich's personal reflections on her experiences of mothering. Andrea O'Reilly gathers feminist scholars from diverse disciplines such as literature, women's studies, law, sociology, anthropology, creative writing, and critical theory and examines how Of Woman Born has informed and influenced the way feminist scholarship "thinks and talks" about motherhood. The contributors explore the many ways in which Rich provides the analytical tools to study and report upon the meaning and experience of motherhood.
