Ciencia, tecnología y mujerla identidad femenina construida por las tecnologías de la anticoncepción y de la reproducción artificial

Resumo

This thesis highlights how two of these technologies, contraception and artificial reproduction, modify women�s reality. And they do so by following the modern scientific way of operation: separating and isolating certain elements from the feminine body, reconfiguring them according to a rational plan and introducing them again in the woman�s body so that it develops the new planned process. In this way, it is modified the feminine biology and some changes are achieved in the other feminine anthropological dimensions: social and historic cultural. The study also deals with women�s most relevant stances on these technologies. It collects the feminine answers and the valuations that they do in favour and against: S. de Beauvoir and M. Mies.
