1982290 pages. Most extant histories of obstetrics have been written by the profession - and stress the continuity and benefits of professional development - or by its critics, who stress the political maneuvering that eliminated the traditional female midwife in favor of a "medicalizing" of pregnancy and childbirth disadvantageous to women. In this controversial work, a third history of obstetrics is presented that is in the history of Michel Foucault's "histories that are not history." He uses the archive of the profession to expose and elaborate the deployment of obstetrical power in the post World War II period.

I "depositi della memoria antropologica" ci parlano qui di quei valori, di quei "segni" delle antiche culture contadine, ecclissatisi con straordinaria velocità. L'immaginario e la realtà della cultura agropastorale, di tempi abbastanza vicini, sono già adesso i lontani racconti dell'uomo e della donna, della puerpera e del bifolco, della sterile e dell'affamato. L¿autore, con la collaborazione dell'Istituto Studi e Ricerche sulla Civiltà Appenninica di Sestino (Arezzo), ha qui raccolto pazientemente "liturgie", punti nodali, quadri di vita, atteggiamenti, rapporti sociali anche soprannaturali, caduti ormai nell'oblio, ma registrati dai più ansiani nell'archeologia della memoria.
