Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the Global South and North
Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the Global South and North critically analyses the political and social frameworks of ART, and its impacts in different countries. In the context of a worldwide social pressure to conceive - particularly for women - this collection explores the effect of the development of ARTs, growing globalisation and reproductive medicalization on global societies. From a multidisciplinary perspective and drawing on multisite studies, it highlights some new issues relating to ART and discusses some older issues regarding infertility and its medical treatment.
Travail et maternité dans l'aire méditerranéenne
Etre à la fois mère et avoir une activité rémunératrice provoque des dérangements culturels et sociaux imprévus. Sont remis en question la définition même de la maternité, vue jusque-là comme une vocation exclusive ; la définition du travail : mettre au monde et élever un enfant est-il un travail au sens ordinaire du terme ? Se focalisant sur l'aire méditerranéenne où la maternité est depuis l'Antiquité l'objet d'une vénération, l'ouvrage interroge des chercheurs en sciences humaines et des acteurs de terrain.

Tránsito migratorio y relaciones bilaterales España-Colombia .
La proliferación de trabajos sobre la emigración colombiana a otros países han insistido en lo político y en la violencia endémica de Colombia como principales causas de su diáspora. Se ha insistido en que fueron las conjeturas políticas y su drama inherente las razones que obligaban a los colombianos a huir de un país con grandes desigualdades y atropellos sociales sin solución. Pero la búsqueda de una más elevada capacidad adquisitiva y laboral, de una mejor condición de vida, es el motivo principal que mueve a los colombianos a decidirse por el traslado a España, país al que ven como una parte propia de su identidad cultural, de su esencia vital y con un pasado común. Y con...

The Single Woman and the Fairytale Prince
The number of one-person households is rising steeply all over the world and a growing proportion of these 'new singles' are women. It is estimated that one woman in three lives on her own. This development reflects general social trends, ranging from rising divorce rates to the growing professionalization of women and their dissatisfaction with a traditional model that offers them a future organized solely around 'husband-baby-home'. At the same time, the attractions of that model still linger and the fairytale prince is by no means a figure from a story or a remote past. Even in an age in which the internet promises that love is 'just a click away', many women still wait for their prince t...
