In France, surrogacy – known as ‘Gestation Pour Autrui’ (GPA) – is forbidden by law. The most ardent supporters of this practice are social anthropologists and some sociologists, many of them endorsing the political programme of activist groups and pushing forward new regulations to authorize surrogacy. The aim of this article is three-fold: (1) to analyse the place social anthropology has taken in the development of a discourse in favour of the practice; (2) to challenge the usefulness of comparisons with exotic societies; and (3) to deconstruct the semantic universe developed to hide the commoditization aspects of this practice.

解构社会人类学话语以支持代孕：以法国为例

在法国，代孕法（被称为“孕产期妊娠”（GPA））被法律禁止。这种做法最热心的支持者是社会人类学家和一些社会学家，其中许多人赞成激进主义者团体的政治纲领并推动制定新的法规以授权代孕。本文的目的是三方面的：（1）分析社会人类学在话语发展中为实践而采取的位置；（2）挑战与异国社会进行比较的有用性；（3）解构语义世界，以隐藏这种做法的商品化方面。
