Call for papers for a panel on reproductive mobilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Panel title: \u201cUnfinished\u201d \u2013 time and desire in reproductive mobilities and trajectories<\/strong><\/p>\n

This panel draws on the anthropology of becoming (Biehl and Locke 2017) to consider the qualities of unfinishedness, the unknown, time, space, and desire as they relate to formations of reproduction in contemporary life. On the one hand, time is delineated in biological measurements and discourses, such as gestation, carrying babies \u201cto term,\u201d \u201cthe right time\u201d to be or become parents, \u201ctiming\u201d and \u201cspacing\u201d children, and fertility \u201ccycles.\u201d On the other hand, time is abstracted in the forward-looking-ness of reproduction, captured in the concept of reproductive futurism. Within the growing body of scholarship on reproductive cross-border care, fertility tourism, commercial surrogacy, birth tourism, abortion travel, migrant and transnational motherhood, international adoption\u2014that is, reproductive mobilities\u2014the emphasis has tended to be on geographical movement or the (finished) outcome of the reproductive pursuit. We are interested instead in the \u201cunfinished business\u201d of reproduction in the context of mobilities\/immobilities, which an emphasis on time and becoming potentially opens up. By considering an anthropology of becoming that \u201cmakes space for unfinishedness, and bodies, powers, and things [that] do not remain frozen in place\u201d (Biehl and Locke 2017: 6), we hope that papers in this panel will address time and trajectories of reproduction as related to subjectivity and as affective, material, and always incomplete.<\/p>\n

We are most interested in ethnographically grounded analyses and\/or theoretical or methodological inquiries of reproductive mobilities through an anthropology of becoming that draws on queer, feminist, affect, or ontological theories, critical mobilities theory, and\/or decolonizing approaches. Possible topics include but are not in any way limited to: becoming-ness of bodies, persons, and technologies in assisted reproduction arrangements, anticipation of reproduction and infertility, the felt time of waiting (for donors, for pregnancy), the enactment of temporal models of reproduction, affective registers of desire in cross-border reproductive care and\/or reproductive decision-making,\u201cbecoming\u201d pregnant in temporal context beyond gestation period, unexpected outcomes in reproduction research.<\/p>\n
