Ultrazvok je (tudi) medij: vizualizacija življenja pred rojstvom

Krošelj, Damjana (author)

Noseče telo - poprej sinonim za skrito, nevidno, je zdaj, s pomočjo vizualnih tehnologij, prostor in priložnost javnega nadzora. Ultrazvok, podobno kot televizija, omogoči vidnost in zato takojšnjo navzočnosti fetusa, ki se zdi "bolj naš otrok". Pred nami se pojavi idealizirana podoba otroka in ne zarodeks svojo značilno podobo, negotovo prihodnostjo in neizoblikovano osebnostjo. Fetus, kot ga mislimo danes, je produkt vizualnih tehnologij. V družbi vizualnosti in spektakla videti pomeni verjeti. Ultrazvok je (tudi) medij.

Abstract

The pregnant body, formerly metaphor for hidden and the invisible - is with the help of vizualizing technologies - turned into a space and opportunity forpublic inspection. The sonogram like television renders the fetus visible and therefore present and more "our child". It is image of an idealized infant, rather than that of a fetus or embryo with its distinctive appearance,uncertain future and undefined personhood. The fetus we understand today was first conceived not in womb but in vizualizing technologies. In the society of visuality and spectacle seing is beleiving. Ultrasoud is (also) medium.
