Sinopsis
This compelling book uses 103 illustrations to
argue that modes of visualizing science
have profoundly determined 8220feal
politics8221and the contemporary abortion
debates. With its close interplay of visual and
verbal texts, it traces both the history of fetal
images from the sixteenth century onward
(including the classic Life magazine photographs
of Lennart Nilsson in 1965) and the consequences
of how obstetrical and embryological knowledge
was represented over time in Europe8213toboth
specialists and the public8213asmedical
knowledge came to be produced and understood
through anatomical observation.As the abortion
debates witness, perhaps no flesh is more
overdetermined with cultural meaning than the
female reproductive body. Language and rhetoric
have had an important role in framing the debates
and shaping attitudes 8220pr-
choice8221versus 8220abrtion,82218220ani-a

than 8220wob.8221How visual modes of
representing obstetrical and embryological
information, which have similar consequences in
forming both public and professional opinion,
shape the politics of the abortion debates has
until recently received very little attention.
