BIRTH MATTERS: DISCOURSES OF CHILDBIRTH IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in The Department of English by Jennifer Ellis West B.A., Mississippi College, 2000 M.A., Mississippi College, 2005 May 2011 Dedication For David, who has believed I could do this—and everything else—from the beginning. For Josie, whose entrance into the world inspired this project, and for Olive, whose birth I am eagerly anticipating as this goes to print. ii Acknowledgments Thank you hardly seems a sufficient response for the support, both personal and professional, I have received on the long journey to completing this dissertation. The professional guidance and compassionate mentorship of my adviser, Sue Weinstein, has, in many ways, provided the fertile ground out of which this project emerged. From my very first graduate seminar at LSU down the often-circuitous route to the research I eventually claimed as my own, she managed to remain unwaveringly supportive of my ideas and my writing, a gift I am certain has made me a better scholar and a better teacher. Irv Peckham and Jackie Bach have been equally encouraging, and their insightful feedback on the earliest stages of this research challenged me and enriched my writing. Barbara Heifferon provided many helpful suggestions on chapter drafts, as well as invigorating conversations that have inspired me to keep going, even after the dissertation is done. I am indebted to Jenell Johnson for countless conversations about my work, for suggesting exactly the right books at exactly the right time, and for introducing me to the field I now claim as my scholarly home. Her mark on this project is unmistakable, and I am grateful for her influence as a scholar, teacher, and mentor. My dissertation committee on the whole provided me the freedom to pursue the ideas that interested me most and a contagious enthusiasm for where that pursuit might take me: both have been essential to my continued engagement with the project. Other professors have contributed much to the formation of my scholarly identity along the way, especially Zetta Elliott, Nichole Guillory, Kerri Jordan, and David Miller. At LSU, I also gained supportive colleagues in my fellow graduate students. Without the friendship of Casey Kayser, the long and unfailingly helpful emails of Erica Abrams Locklear, the ever-positive words of encouragement from Laura Jones, and the inspiring conversations iii over tea with Cara Jones, this journey would certainly have been a lonelier one. Most especially, Kristi Richard Melancon and Jessica Ketcham Weber have been my anchors throughout my tenure at LSU; without them, this project would surely not have gotten written. Equal parts writing group and dear friends, they kept my child, read my work, and saw me through to the very end: I love them both. Especially in this last year of writing, many people have fed and sheltered my family and me as we have traveled from Jackson to Baton Rouge. The home of Ashley Jones-Bodie and Graham Bodie became a home away from home for Josie and me: delicious food, care and friendship for my daughter, and inspiring conversations nourished me in ways I did not even know I needed. Shelley Massengale was a second mother to my child on many trips: by welcoming a third daughter into her already-full household, never saying she was too busy even if she was, and making us feel like part of her family, she made the trip to Baton Rouge both easy and pleasurable on numerous occasions. Ed and Felicia Song have cheered me on since I first met them. They have cared for my family in so many ways over the years and have buoyed our spirits with rich conversation, wonderful meals, and the gift of their friendship. We miss them dearly. I am grateful, also, for the many women who corresponded with me about various parts of this project, especially those who sent me their insurance policies, told me their birth stories, and helped me understand the ways the many dimensions of these issues affected them personally. Kaevon McRay and Alyssa Anderson were particularly patient in helping me understand the context of birth in Florida, as were the midwives who took the time to respond to my emails. Many thanks go to Jill Arnold, also, whose work at The Unnecesarean kept me up- to-date on many of the issues that appear in these pages, who graciously assisted in my collection iv of insurance policies, and who provided a most-helpful perspective on the intersections of social media and birth advocacy. Heartfelt thanks to my parents, who taught me from the earliest age that I could do anything I set my mind to and that I could be anything I could imagine. Even if this is not exactly what they had in mind, I am grateful for their ongoing love and support. My sister has been an especially welcome companion on this journey: she has cheered me on with cookies and music, embarked on a graduate journey of her own, and talked me through nearly every step of this process. I have been glad to have her at my side, and I look forward to returning the favor. Other friends whose faithful support has nurtured me along the way include Hannah West, Jessie Partridge, and Christy Ketchum; they have each in some way walked this long journey with me, and I am thankful to have them in my life. Finally, I would not have made it through this process without the incessantly cheerful encouragement from my daughter and the patient heroics of my husband. When I started this research, Josie sat in my lap and pointed at my computer screen; at its close, she runs in to give me a hug exactly when I need it, asking patiently, “Is today the day you finish your dissertation?” David, quite simply, has sustained me. The completion of this project is due as much to time I spent reading and writing as it is to the time and energy he spent keeping our life going: by washing dishes and clothes, keeping our daughter happy and occupied, bringing me coffee and late-night chocolate, and reminding me every single day that I could, in fact, do this, my husband has been more than an equal partner in this, and everything else. I could not have imagined a better companion in this life, for me or for my children. I am grateful that whatever life brings us, we all get to do it together. v Table of Contents Dedication....................................................................................................................................ii Acknowledgments ..................................................................................................................... iii List of Figures.......................................................................................................................... viii Abstract........................................................................................................................................x Chapter One Introduction: Charting the Discourses of Childbirth and Medicine .....................................1 Situating Myself on the Map: How I Got Here.................................................................4 Rhetoric, Feminism, and Science Studies: Entering the Interdisciplinary Conversation ............................................................................8 Medicine Studies: Theoretical Foundations and Methodology ......................................14 A Review of the Literature on Childbirth.......................................................................20 Background: How We Arrived at this Conversation about Childbirth and Medicine....................................................................................26 Where We Go from Here: Definitions and Chapter Outline ..........................................35 Chapter Two Scripted Birth: Television, Film, and the Reproduction of Biomedical and Technological Authority...........................................................................................................41 Cultural (Medicine) Studies and Representations of Childbirth.....................................44 Medicine and Maternity in Primetime ............................................................................48 Birth at the Movies..........................................................................................................66 Documentary as Counter-Narrative ................................................................................80 Popular Culture as Socializing Ritual.............................................................................84

Lewis DeLuca, coordinator of Student Financial Literacy and Advising, said this can have a big impact on students because there is an increase in tuition, he said students can be looking at hundreds of more dollars in tuition fees for the fall. “Right now,” said DeLuca, “we are looking at $10,054 a year. If we go up four percent, it will be $10,456. This is over a $400 increase.” DeLuca talked about students who are living on campus as well. As of now, a student who lives on campus for the 2016-17 year is paying $12,025.

  • Diagnosing Drama: Grey's Anatomy, Blind Casting, and the Politics Of
    Diagnosing Drama: Grey’s Anatomy, Blind Casting, and the Politics of Representation AMY LONG N FEBRUARY 5, 2006 NEARLY THIRTY-EIGHT MILLION VIEWERS CHOSE TO forego post-Super Bowl celebrations in favor of tuning in to a Omuch-hyped episode of ABC’s hit medical melodrama Grey’s Anatomy. The episode thus constitutes ‘‘the best scripted-series perfor- mance since the series finale of Friends’’ in 2004 and ‘‘the best per- formance of an ABC show since an episode of Home Improvement in 1994’’ (‘‘Grey’s Scores Big’’). Grey’s Anatomy and its multiracial ensem- ble stand in marked contrast to the all-white casts of both aforemen- tioned shows, a fact that has not been lost on media observers. When civil rights groups issued their annual ‘‘diversity report cards’’ for 2006, ABC garnered the highest overall grade of the four major net- works (an A-), thanks in part to shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, and Ugly Betty (‘‘Grey’s Leads Charge’’). Its diverse cast and the production practices through which it was assembled have been the major focus of the media attention conferred upon Grey’s, second only to stories con- cerning the colossal audiences it routinely snags.1 The show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes (currently the only African American woman ‘‘showrunner’’ in network television), gives the credit for her show’s diversity to her ‘‘race-blind’’ casting methods. In her Time Magazine profile of the writer and producer, Jeanne McDowell notes that ‘‘[Rhimes’] script for the pilot had no physical descriptions [of its characters] other than gender,’’ a statement repeated in almost all of the popular press coverage the show receives.2 As Rhimes herself affirmed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, ‘‘We really read every color actor for every single part.

  • Grey's Anatomy
    The Language of Race & Class in Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy Daniel Lefkowitz Department of Anthropology University of Virginia [email protected] 1 April 2017 Author Profile: Daniel Lefkowitz is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Virginia. His early work focused on the politics of language use in Israel, published as the 2004 Oxford University Press book, Words and Stones: The Politics of Language and Identity in Israel. More recent work on the sociolinguistics of Hollywood cinema has been published as a 2005 Semiotica essay, “On the Relation between Sound and Meaning in Hicks’ Snow Falling on Cedars.” Abstract: This essay contrasts the visual hyper-presence of racial diversity in Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy to its aural absence, arguing that two episodes from the show’s 2nd season construct diametrically opposed visions of the role of white and black forms of non-standard speech. While non-standard forms of language that construct blackness are – when they appear at all on the show – condemned as obstacles to the medical outcomes the show valorizes, non-standard forms of language that construct working-class whiteness appear frequently on the show, and are recuperated by the plots and characters. The sociolinguistic patterns thus re-instate hegemonic ideas about race that the color-blind casting Rhimes is famous for seeks to subvert. The Language of Race & Class in Grey’s Anatomy Page 1 Film studies has a long and serious engagement with the representation of race in Hollywood cinema,1 yet the discipline’s focus on visual aspects of films (at the expense of the aural and especially language, speech, and dialogue) leaves many impactful perspectives unexplored.

  • Private-Practice
    Contact: Phyllis Mate NVA President 301-299-0775 [email protected] ABC’s "Private Practice” Inaccurately Portrays Serious Women’s Health Condition National Institutes of Health Launch Campaign to Help Millions Suffering from Painful Sex WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 24, 2007 -- In the October 10 episode of the ABC hit series, Private Practice, a young woman unable to have sex with her new husband, visits Dr. Addison Montgomery, played by Kate Walsh. During her gynecological exam, the woman screams in pain and is diagnosed with vulvodynia. With the help of Hollywood magic, Montgomery and her partner cure the condition and the elated couple’s honeymoon begins. “While the producers deserve credit for trying to depict the symptoms of vulvodynia, 13 million women in the real world would painfully disagree with the show’s fairy tale ending,” comments Phyllis Mate, President of the National Vulvodynia Association ( www.nva.org). This isn’t the first time popular television has inaccurately portrayed the condition. In a 2001 episode of HBO’s Sex and the City, Kristin Davis’ character, Charlotte, complains to her gynecologist of burning pain “down there” and is diagnosed with vulvodynia. The gynecologist prescribes an antidepressant and Charlotte is miraculously cured by the end of the episode! In reality, vulvodynia, or chronic pain in the external vaginal area, is a highly prevalent condition that is difficult to treat. It is often misdiagnosed as a yeast infection and the cause(s) is unclear. Although there are treatments that provide some pain relief, there is no cure. In many cases, vulvodynia destroys marriages.
