Abstract

Building on work in feminist geopolitics, we discuss how the governance of in/fertility affects the value assigned to different bodies and the question whose bodies and lives are considered as worthy of reproducing in Mexico. To reveal the geopolitical entanglements of past and present forms of reproductive governance, we investigate the transnational connections of Mexico’s fertility network with Spain and the United States of America. We juxtapose visual materials from political campaigns of the past with advertisements for present-day fertility clinics to trace the reproductive geopolitics of (post)colonialism that shape current developments, practices, and discourses in this transnational fertility network. Each pair of visuals exemplifies particular times and spaces of reproductive geopolitics. The paper reveals how the contemporary Mexican fertility market is shaped by transnational forms of reproductive governance. We employ visual juxtaposition to provoke readers to think about the entanglement of present-day fertility markets with past reproductive geopolitics.
生殖地缘政治:墨西哥过去和现在的生育/生殖机构管理
在女权主义地缘政治学研究的基础上,我们讨论了生育管理如何影响不同身体的价值,以及在墨西哥谁的身体和生命值得生育的问题。为了揭示过去和现在生育管理形式的地缘政治纠葛,我们调查了墨西哥生育网络与西班牙和美国的跨国联系。我们将过去政治运动的视觉材料与当今生育诊所的广告并置,以追溯(后)殖民主义的生殖地缘政治,它塑造了这一跨国生育网络的当前发展、实践和话语。每一副视觉图片都体现了生殖地缘政治的特定时间和空间。本文揭示了当代墨西哥生育市场是如何被跨国生殖治理形式所塑造的。我们采用视觉并置的方式,引发读者思考当今生育市场与过去的生殖地缘政治之间的纠葛。
