Maternity Representations in the Romanian Normative Area. Communist Reminiscences and Postmodernity
Maternity Representations in the Romanian Normative Area. Communist Reminiscences and Postmodernity

Summary/Abstract: There are two premises in this research. The second premise may be put in the following words: maternity, beyond the fact that is an individual matter, has a certain and categorical social dimension. This paper has two major objectives. Firstly, it explores the reasoning of constructing maternity as a social reality in the Romanian normative area, taking into account the law project for psychological counseling before abortion and the law of the assisted human reproduction. Secondly, it reveals the oscillation of this area between a weak postmodern side (feminine individualism) and a side of the communist reminiscence (the guilt of abortion, the privilege of the state over the individual or the family).
