"Fertile Visions conceptualises the uterus as a narrative space so that the female reproductive body can be understood beyond the constraints of a gendered analysis. Unravelling pregnancy from notions of maternity and mothering demands that we think differently about narratives of reproduction, which is crucial in the current global political climate wherein the gender-specificity of pregnancy contributes to how bodies that reproduce ? i.e., women ? are marginalised, controlled, and criminalised. Anne Carruthers demonstrates fascinating and insightful close analyses of films such as Juno, Birth, and Arrival as examples of uterus as a narrative space. Fertile Visions engages with empirical research on the foetal ultrasound scan as well as phenomenologies, affect and spectatorship in film studies to offer a new way to look, think and analyse pregnancy and the pregnant body in contemporary cinema from the Americas"-- Provided by publisher
