The last two decades have witnessed growing philosophical scholarship on pregnancy, birth, and mothering – areas in which the discipline of philosophy has hitherto remained largely silent. Scholarship in these areas is philosophically important since it takes women’s embodied experience and maternal practice (a practice that has been historically placed in the realm of ‘feminine’ work) as serious domains of philosophical reflection and, more importantly, recognizes the potential of these domains for generating new knowledge in ethics, epistemology, ontology, etc.

While this work constitutes an important new development in feminist and philosophical inquiry, there are a number of critical gaps in the new literature. While reviewing some recent work on the topic for the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, Shelley M. Park notes the absence of the voices of “non-normative maternal subjects” (Park, 2012), that is, maternal subjects that are not “straight, biological, middle-class, able-bodied, white, western mothers of infants and very young children.” (Park, 2012) Social, cultural, economic, and political arrangements (such as race, nationality, sexual orientation, etc.) that anchor ‘non-normative’ maternal subjectivity, as well as ‘non-hegemonic’ contexts of mothering (such as mothering within non-democratic socio-political regimes, within the realities of developing nations, amidst war and devastation, across international borders and as part of global exchanges, etc.) are largely absent from the new scholarship. In addition, very rarely are resources from ‘non-Western’ philosophies, comparative philosophy, women of color feminist philosophies, and ‘non-Western’ feminism and global feminism, brought to bear on this topic by philosophers engaging it.

The volume we propose seeks to redress these deficits by focusing on ‘non–normative’ maternal subjects and contexts of analyses and/or ‘non-hegemonic’ philosophical traditions in philosophizing about pregnancy, child-bearing, and mothering. We would like to open up a space for philosophical reflections that take the perspective of maternal subjects who are lesbians, ‘non-Western’ women, women of color in the United States, women that find themselves as part of mixed race and multiracial families, migrant women that are part of the global workforce such as nannies and transnational surrogates, mothers with disabilities etc.

A ver. Estoy leyendo folletos sobre el tema del masaje perineal prenatal y no acabo de estar convencida. Básicamente se trata de hacerte, o que te hagan, una buena paja con la mano. O una penetración poco profunda a un ritmo dulce. ¿No nos estamos complicando la vida? Menudo empeño en desexualizar el embarazo. ¿Por qué tengo que liarme a colocar mis dedos «unos 3 o 4 cm dentro de mi vagina, presionar hacia abajo y hacia los lados y masajear lentamente»? Esto es lo que sucede lógicamente cuando se tiene sexo. Me siento como el crío del cuento de El traje nuevo del emperador. Me están timando. El emperador va desnudo y esto es sexo. …
