“…In addition, childbirth in France is governed by high technologization. This technological management of childbirth falls under the culture of ‘obstetric risk’ described above, which is strong in France ( Carricaburu, 2005 , Carricaburu, 2007 ).…”

“…According to the scientific discourse, in childbirth experience there are always some biological or intra-somatic risks. Depending on the level of urgency, the latter are divided into low and high risks (Carricaburu, 2005). Both categories of risk are understood as being preventable by birth technologies and mitigated by medical interventions (Carricaburu, Castra, & Cohen, 2010).…”

Birth models in and between Italy and Senegal: a cross-cultural inquiry on the risks related to childbirth and birth technologies

In Western societies, such as Italy, a positive representation of birth technologies as the main remedy to fight against the uncertainties of physiology and biological risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth has prevailed since the eighteenth century. This process has experienced a strengthening and an acceleration in the last fifty years. Although the (bio)medical discourse has replaced previous representations of childbirth-related risks, other risk categorizations, and search for remedies, have emerged and persist. Relying on the findings of a multi-sited ethnographic work focused on Italy, Senegal and the migratory experience from Senegal to Italy, this article investigates how the representation of childbirth-related risks changes in these three contexts. Working in a risk perception framework, I argue that birth technologies and medical interventions are understood by some groups of Italian women as a risk to be avoided compared to the possibility of experiencing a natural birth. At the same time, through an anthropological perspective, the article investigates how the relatively low level of medicalization in Senegal shapes a discourse on birth based on a very different understanding of health and risk. Unlike the biomedical discourse, childbirth-related risks in Senegal are only partially explained by the physical materiality of the birth process. Finally, stressing the strong interconnection between risk logics and material culture, the article analyses the multiple challenges connected to both the 'fascination' for technological births and the transfer of non-biomedical risk models from Senegal to Italy through the migratory process.

“…Two thirds of pregnant women are monitored essentially by obstetrician-gynaecologists and 12% by midwives (Blondel & Kermarrec, 2011). Pregnancy and birth are considered to be events presenting risks and are subject to a large number of medico-technical interventions (Akrich & Pasveer, 1996;Carricaburu, 2005).…”

From policy making to service use. Down's syndrome antenatal screening in England, France and the Netherlands

In industrialised countries, certain biomedical innovations have come into general use, but the ways they are used vary considerably. Prenatal screening techniques for Down's syndrome are a perfect example of this. In 2010, screening rates stood at 61% in England and 84% in France; the previous year the rate was 26% in the Netherlands. The objective of our research, which took place in these three countries between 2008 and 2011, was to explain these differences. In these countries, public authorities focus on women's free access to innovations and on receiving their informed consent. But other aspects of screening policy vary, as do the health systems in which they are implemented. Our study shows that the sociotechnical settings which vary from country to country affected the interactions during the consultations we observed and thus impacted the decision of whether or not to screen.
