An Artistic Autoethnography on the Public Fetus

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This is a fascinating story of how an artist's keen eye translates a deep cultural understanding of the public fetus into an image needing deconstructing, politicising and a controversial re-think. The story is heartwarming, believable and engaging." -- Elizabeth Ettorre, Emerita Professor of Sociology, University of Liverpool, UK

"An Artistic Autoethnography on the Public Fetus takes the reader on a series of imaginative, surprising and thought-provoking journeys. The image of the fetus and the practices of ultrasound on non-pregnant bodies provide entry points into a diverse range of topics: creativity and how it can be blocked; debates around reproductive rights; explorations of hybridity and liminality in relation to the self and others. Ultimately, Gonzalez Suero finds both critical and creative possibilities in her autoethnography, revealing new feminist perspectives on the image of the fetus, and a deeper understanding of the artistic process." -- Catherine Grant, Reader of Modern and Contemporary Art, Courtauld Institute of Art, UK 'This is a fascinating story of how an artist's keen eye translates a deep cultural understanding of the public fetus into an image needing deconstructing, politicizing and a controversial re-think.
