Pregnancy, Risk and Biopolitics

- On the Threshold of the Living Subject

About Pregnancy, Risk and Biopolitics

EuroAmerican cultures have considered that human status was conferred at the conclusion to childbirth. This book argues that the displacement of birth as the threshold of the living subject began in the 1950s with the novel concept of 'perinatal mortality' referring to death of either the foetus or the newborn just prior to, during or after birth.
