| contents | Mobile phones, non-human agents at the service of assisted reproduction: monitoring and gendered dual allegiance Véronique Duchesne Antropología actor gender network theory Mobile (cell) telephones medically assisted reproduction For sub-Saharan women enrolled in a protocol for assisted reproductive technology (ART), the use of mobile phones entails dual allegiance: toward the services of reproductive medicine and toward their transnational family. Indispensable for medically monitoring women’s reproductive bodies, the mobile phone enters the process for producing female gametes and contributes to the gender asymmetry typical of biomedicalized procreation. It is also used to maintain contacts with transnational family members who, from a distance, obtrude in the woman’s reproductive life. The use of mobile phones extends biomedical power over the woman’s body into her everyday life and the normative power of her transnational family into reproduction. Paradoxically, the mobile telephone allows collateral relatives to support the woman seeking reproduction assistance while also “hypermedicalizing” the woman’s daily life. Also paradoxically, this everyday companion is conductive to individual autonomy while also being used for new forms of surveillance and control. The data come from fieldwork conducted in the greater Paris area between 2011 and 2013 within a network of ART professionals and their patients. 2021 artículo científico 0104-7183 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=401971264005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401971264005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401971264005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401971264005/401971264005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4019/401971264005/movil 10.1590/S0104-71832021000300005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4019 Horizontes Antropológicos application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Horizontes Antropológicos (Brasil) Num.61 Vol.27 |
