ABSTRACT Since most women do not experience birth firsthand before giving birth themselves, many U.S. American birthing women draw knowledge from media representations for understanding what to expect during delivery. Most media representations of birth uphold a medical model, presenting many women with limited options for birth and reducing the agency available to women in their healthcare choices. Lack of choice and agency play into some of the issues surrounding the high rate of maternal mortality in the U.S., compared to other developed nations. This paper analyzes “The Miracle of Birth” scene from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Darci’s home birth on Jane the Virgin from a feminist rhetorical lens to explore the possibilities and limitations in media representations of birth.

奇迹和家庭出生:媒体报道出生的重要性

摘要 由于大多数妇女在分娩前并没有亲身经历分娩,因此许多美国分娩妇女从媒体报道中汲取知识,以了解分娩过程中会发生什么。大多数媒体对生育的报道都坚持医学模式,使许多妇女在生育方面的选择有限,并减少了妇女在医疗保健选择中可用的代理权。与其他发达国家相比,围绕美国孕产妇死亡率高的一些问题缺乏选择和代理。本文从女性主义修辞的角度分析了《疯狂的前女友》和达西在《圣母简》中的“出生奇迹”场景,探讨了媒体对出生的表述的可能性和局限性。
