Omschrijving
Deftly weaving together insights from first-hand accounts, philosophical analyses, and the social sciences, Browne argues persuasively that birth-centric models of pregnancy necessarily fail to grasp the complex, ambiguous phenomenon that is miscarriage. Her careful and insightful analysis provides a welcome contribution to scholarly conversations on gender, embodiment, and reproductive subjectivity.
Deftly weaving together insights from first-hand accounts, philosophical analyses, and the social sciences, Browne argues persuasively that birth-centric models of pregnancy necessarily fail to grasp the complex, ambiguous phenomenon that is miscarriage. Her careful and insightful analysis provides a welcome contribution to scholarly conversations on gender, embodiment, and reproductive subjectivity.
Browne presents a vital call for solidarity in these times of increasing criminalization of pregnancy. Her understanding of agency is embodied and contextual, rather than a matter of straightforward choice. This compelling framework enables a relational politics of care for and among pregnant people, regardless of the results of a pregnancy.
Politicizing miscarriage as a feminist issue, and a question for philosophy, Pregnancy Without Birth breaks open the stigma and shame surrounding miscarriage and offers a powerful, timely and radical thesis about the politics of pregnancy, both with and without birth. A brilliantly argued and movingly written work.
Victoria Browne is Reader in Political Theory at Oxford Brookes University, UK.

She is also a member of the editorial collective Radical Philosophy.
