{"product_id":"representations-of-motherhood","title":"Representations of Motherhood","description":"For many years mothers have been viewed in terms of their impact on children rather than as people with needs, feelings, and interests—subjects in their own right. This book explores the maternal experience from the mother's point of view. It questions a society that has devalued and sentimentalized motherhood, presents images of generative and creative women who are also mothers, discusses the complex psychological experience of having and being a mother, and examines how representations of mothers in art, film, literature, the social and behavioral sciences, and historical writing have affected women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cb\u003eDonna Bassin, Margaret Honey, and Meryle Mahrer Kaplan\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePart I: The Acknowledgment and Appropriation of Maternal Work \u003cbr\u003eThinking Mothers\/Conceiving Birth \u003cb\u003eSara Ruddick\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFictions of Home \u003cb\u003eJane Lazarre\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eShifting the Center: Race, Class, and Feminist Theorizing about Motherhood \u003cb\u003ePatricia Hill Collins\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mothers of the Disappeared: Passion and Protest in Maternal Action \u003cb\u003eJean Bethke Elshtain\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaternity and Rememory in Toni Morrison’s \u003ci\u003eBeloved\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eMarianne Hirsch\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: The Paradoxical Nature of the Maternal Position\u003cbr\u003eBeing a Mother and Being a Psychoanalyst: Two Impossible Professions \u003cb\u003eJanine Chasseguet-Smirgel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Omnipotent Mother: A Psychoanalytic Study of Fantasy and Reality \u003cb\u003eJessica Benjamin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMothering, Hate, and Winnicott \u003cb\u003eElsa First\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaternal Subjectivity in the Culture of Nostalgia: Mourning and Memory \u003cb\u003eDonna Bassin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRosalind: A Family Romance\u003cb\u003e Myra Goldberg\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: The Cultural Construction and Reconstruction of the Maternal Image\u003cbr\u003eImages of the Maternal: An Interview with Barbara Kruger \u003cb\u003eTherese Lichtenstein\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Power of \"Positive\" Diagnosis: Medical and Maternal Discourses on Amniocentesis \u003cb\u003eRayna Rapp\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Maternal Voice in the Technological Universe \u003cb\u003eMargaret Honey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking the Nature Out of Mother \u003cb\u003eAdria Schwartz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSex, Work, and Motherhood: Maternal Subjectivity in Recent Visual Culture \u003cb\u003eE.
