Inconceivable Iran - To Reproduce Or Not to Reproduce?

Informationen zum Autor Soraya Tremayne is a social anthropologist, the Co-Founding Director of the Fertility and Reproduction Studies Group and a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford. She is the Founding Series Editor of the Berghahn book series Fertility Reproduction and Sexuality and was formerly Director of the International Gender Studies at the University of Oxford. Klappentext Celebrating the 50th volume of the landmark Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality series, this book offers a much-needed analysis of shifting reproductive policies and practices in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a society that is usually represented as either "revolutionary" or "oppressive." Instead, Tremayne reflects on more than four decades of research arguing that changing reproductive behaviors on the part of ordinary Iranians must always be viewed against the backdrop of core cultural values and traditions, which are often reinforced, instead of radically altered, by new reproductive technologies, juridical opinions, and state policies.
