Maternity Services and Policy in an International Context
This book is the first comprehensive international overview of maternity services. Drawing on concepts of risk and social citizenship, it explores the relationship between welfare regimes and health policy by comparing and contrasting provision for childbearing women. Each substantive chapter focuses on a different country, presenting detailed contextual information on health care provision, maternity interventions and birth outcomes there. They discuss key issues such as birth rates and fertility patterns, the role of patient choice, attitudes to place of birth and maternity entitlements among others, and the countries covered represent diverse welfare regimes, including Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. An extended introduction and a conclusion draw the book together and place it in the context of the literature on comparative welfare regimes. It is an important reference for students and academics interested in comparative social policy, health services research, and maternity services and policies.
Everyday World- Making: Toward an Understanding of Affect and Mothering
This cross-disciplinary collection considers the intersection of affect and mothering, with the aim of expanding both the experiential and theoretical frameworks that guide our understanding of mothering and of theories of affect. It brings together creative, reflective, poetic, and theoretical pieces to question, challenge, and re-conceptualize mothering through the lens of affect, and affect through the lens of mothering. The collection also aims to explore less examined mothering experiences such as failure, disgust, and ambivalence in order to challenge normative paradigms and narratives surrounding mothers and mothering. The authors in this collection demonstrate the theoretical and practical possibilities opened up by a simultaneous consideration of affect and mothering, thereby broadening our understanding of the complexities and nuances of the always changing experiences of world-making.
Lo spazio della doula
La doula è una figura che offre supporto emotivo e accudimento pratico alle madri, ma non è un’ostetrica e nemmeno una psicologa. Lo spazio della doula offre una cartografia nazionale di un fenomeno sociale in emersione. Muovendo dall’osservazione etnografica e dall’ascolto delle voci di decine di doule e madri, Brenda Benaglia allarga lo sguardo al rapporto fra donne, corpi, cura e società nell’Italia contemporanea. Quali bisogni accoglie la doula? Quali vuoti personali, familiari, sociali e istituzionali denuncia? Quali solitudini? Il volume restituisce un panorama in cui risuona l’eredità femminista che ha teorizzato il valore della parola, del rispecchiamento fra donne, delle pratiche di condivisione simbolica e materiale, dell’importanza di pronunciare i propri bisogni e di riconoscere le proprie vulnerabilità. Oggi, l’esistenza stessa della doula tradisce tutta l’ambivalenza tipica della più audace contemporaneità occidentale in cui i confini fra individualità e individualismo, responsabilità e colpa, autodeterminazione e solitudine sono sempre più sfumati.
