  1. Embodied Progress: A Cultural Account of Assisted Conception.Sarah Franklin - 1997 - Psychology Press.
    New reproductive technologies, such as in vitrio fertilization, have been the subject of intense public discussion and debate worldwide.

How are parenthood, kinship and procreation being redefined in the context of new reproductive technologies? Has reproductive choice become part of consumer culture? Embodied Progress offers a unique perspective on these and other cultural dimensions of assisted conception techniques. Based on ethnographic (...)

    Cultural Materialism, published in 1979, was Marvin Harris's first full-length explication of the theory with which his work has been associated.

  • Embodiment and Disembodiment in Childbirth Narratives.Madeleine Akrich & Bernike Pasveer - 2004 - Body and Society 10 (2-3):63-84.
