Giving Birth To A Subject Transition To Motherhood As An Embodied & Technologically Mediated Experience

Giving Birth To A Subject: Transition To Motherhood As An Embodied & Technologically Mediated Experience by Biljana Stanković explores one of the most profound shifts in women’s lives—the move into first time motherhood. This book examines the physical, emotional, and cultural dimensions of becoming a mother within the dynamic context of a post socialist society. Drawing from sociocultural psychology, phenomenology, and science and technology studies, it presents a rich framework for understanding how bodily changes, psychosocial changes, and personal experience shape maternal identity.

The text highlights the role of embodied experience and technologically mediated experience, emphasizing how medical practices, social norms, and socio material culture influence pregnant bodies, birthing bodies, and the broader journey of adult development.
