Liberty Walther Barnes Conceiving Masculinity: Male Infertility, Medicine, and Identity
In Conceiving Masculinity, Barnes sets out an ethnographic work from a North American perspective. Based upon her 2011 dissertation, and conceived through her own encounter with reproductive technologies, she draws from fieldwork of 24 men's experiences of infertility diagnoses and treatment.1 Barnes's central argument is that instead of emasculating, the medical and societal system empowers and reinforces gender order and masculinity. The sperm-…
Times of danger: Embryos, sperm and precarious reproduction ca. 1870s–1910s
Perceptions of risk and preventative strategies with respect to cardiovascular diseases in people of Turkish migrant background in Germany: Findings of a pilot study
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) constitute one of the fastest-growing categories of disease in Germany, including among people with a background of migration. Although a growing number of epidemiological studies attempt to explain the course of migrants’ health, the extent to which cultural factors affect individual patients’ perception of and strategies for prevention of CVD (as a primary deterrent) remains clearly understudied. This pilot study …
Tales of healthy men: Male reproductive bodies in biomedicine from 'Lebensborn' to sperm banks
Using the example of 'sperm tales', borne out of the biomedical technologies that went hand in hand with the establishment of the 'science of man' (andrology), the article engages with the epistemic evolution of interrelated biomedical theories and concepts of what constitutes a 'healthy' reproductive male body. The article asks: how has the normative ideal male body been either perpetuated or interrogated through these tales of male reproduction…
Neither Body nor Brain: Comparing Preventive Attitudes to Prostate Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease
This article compares health promotion attitudes towards prostate cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Our aim is to demonstrate that these two apparently distinct conditions of the aging body - one affecting the male reproductive system, the other primarily the brain - are addressed in similar fashion in recent public health activities because of a growing emphasis on a 'cardiovascular logic'. We suggest that this is a form of reductionism, and argue…

A `little world of your own: Stigma, Gender and Narratives of Venereal Disease Contact Tracing
As in other countries, in order to protect the public from venereal disease (syphilis and gonorrhoea), contact tracing in New Zealand has been a public health strategy since the mid-20th century. So far, scholars have predominantly focused on the aspect of control of the cases traced. Based on a rare interview with a female contact tracer, together with a range of archival material, this article aims to expand the scholarship by focusing on the t…
