In this article the author aims to highlight some similarities and differences between the contemporary imagery of motherhood and that of ecospirituality. Apart from apparent differences, both these imageries are based on a peculiar alliance with nature. Demonstrating why these phenomena have to be considered postmodern forms of sacralization is the goal of this article. For this purpose, the author first briefly reconstructs some socio-historical stages of the imagery of the body and how this has changed from Christian to contemporary societies. The second section analyses the concept of health, focusing on the changes that affect the idea of death. The third section identifies the main features of gestational surrogacy as a characteristic phenomenon of late modern society. In the fourth section, the author shows the postmodern nature of gestational surrogacy. The fifth section compares the imagery of gestational surrogacy to that of ecospirituality, detecting some differences and similarities. In the conclusion, through an approach close to the sociology of religion, the author suggests that both these phenomena respond to the same demand for meaning and they are the product of a radical change in the relationship between human being, nature and the sacred.

在这篇文章中,作者旨在强调当代母亲形象和生态灵性形象之间的一些异同。除了明显的差异,这两个图像都是基于与自然的独特联盟。证明为什么必须将这些现象视为后现代化的圣化是本文的目标。为此,作者首先简要地重构了身体意象的一些社会历史阶段,以及这是如何从基督教转变为当代社会的。第二部分分析健康概念,重点关注影响死亡观念的变化。第三部分确定了代孕的主要特征是现代晚期的特征现象社会。在第四部分,作者展示了代孕的后现代性质。第五部分比较了代孕的意象和生态精神的意象,发现了一些异同。最后,作者通过一种接近宗教社会学的方法,提出这两种现象都对相同的意义需求做出了回应,它们是人,自然与神圣之间关系发生根本性变化的产物。
