FGM/C: From Medicine to Critical Anthropology
This book is the product of the Seminar MAP-FGM (https://mapfgm.eu,
Rome, 24-25 Nov. 2017), where anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers,
exponents of NGO, gynaecologists and jurists exchanged their knowledge by
pursuing several aims: re-introducing the FGM/C issue inside an
anthropological framework, seeking to widen the theme to body
modifiability, not only women's bodies, and proceeding from historicization
and the acknowledgment of subjectivities; criticising the biomedical
approaches, as other forms of criminalization, examining the connection
with the other disciplines and their knowledge potential; finally, opening the
issue to uncommon geographical fields, both in Africa and Asia. The main
objective has been establishing the conditions for building a socio-ethno-
anthropological gaze on the social gender constructions and on the
biopolitics on/of the bodies, by making emerge the strengths but, most of
all, the weaknesses, of the medical and regulatory gazes, which, on their
part, call into question an anthropological vocabulary which does not
pertain to them, and risk to produce effects opposed to the ones wished,
that is the abandonment of these practices.
