Patrick-Weber analyzes a selection of horror films, including The Void and Black Christmas, to demonstrate not only evidence of this trauma on a visceral level, but also how horror films can reflect and contribute to cultural conversations surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. While horror films are often neglected as vital sources of intellect and analysis, many of these films use their subversive viewpoints on cultural issues to offer a unique perspective that can ultimately help to shape the way society views them. Patrick-Weber reminds us that pregnancy and childbirth can be traumatic events, both physically and emotionally, as she discusses the current conversations surrounding the issue and critiques the advancement of medicalization. Scholars of film studies, gender studies, rhetoric, and medicine may find this book particularly useful.</p>...3440080The Rhetoric and Medicalization of Pregnancy and Childbirth in Horror Films14951661https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-rhetoric-and-medicalization-of-pregnancy-and-childbirth-in-horror-films-9781793602817/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2407373/14e4cc8c-58df-47a7-b0cb-de1c33ae8f81.jpg?v=638383933635730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209781793602817_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_<p>In <em>The Rhetoric and Medicalization of Pregnancy and Childbirth in Horror Films</em>, Courtney Patrick-Weber argues that the medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth traumatizes pregnant people in a number of ways, even as many people believe the shift toward medicalization has improved conditions for pregnant people.
