Daughter of time : the postmodern midwife ( Part
نویسنده
چکیده
RESUMEN Este artículo busca conceptuar la partera pos-moderna, definiéndola como aquella que tiene una postura en relación a la biomedicina y a otros sistemas de conocimiento, moviéndose fluidificado entre ellos para ayudar a las mujeres que asiste. Es consciente, culturalmente competente y políticamente enganchada. Trabaja con recursos de su conocimiento específico, aliados a los intereses de la mujer. Su relativismo informado es más accesible para las parteras profesionales, pero lo que se observa, alrededor del mundo, es que esta actitud está atingiendo las parteras tradicionales, en diversos países. Así, el concepto de partera pos-moderna representa una puente para las brechas étnicas, raciales y de status, que separan las parteras profesionales de las tradicionales, y un punto focal y analítico para la comprensión de la forma de negociación de identidades y papeles de cada uno de los miembros en el grupo, en el mundo en transformación.

متن کاملPostmodern Orientalized Terrorism: Don DeLillo’s The Names
The terrorism of obscurantism is one of the hallmarks of Don DeLillo’s The Names (1982), distinguishing it as one of the "difficult writings" in his canon.
