More about the book
Examining the diffusion of 3/4D ultrasound images, this book explores their implications for biopolitics in Europe and America. It highlights the non-diagnostic and commercial uses of these images, their role in the abortion debate, and claims regarding maternal-fetal bonding. The Visualised Foetus reveals the complex interplay between social and medical meanings of fetal ultrasound, addressing the pleasures and risks of fetal imagery for women, the contested nature of ultrasonography as scientific, and the ongoing struggles for authority in interpreting ultrasound imagery.
