Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on the process that how society or nation-state power have an impact on childbirth, a private sphere. During French colonial era, the colonial government involved in the childbirth in villages by educating the ‘local midwives’ about modern western medicine. However, after independence, the government supported to give birth in maternity hospitals and educated ‘midwives’in a divided Vietnam. At the same time, elder mothers or female relatives transmitted customs caring the mothers or the expectant mothers after delivery. Yet, at least in the cities, wars and the birth control policy made them rather difficult to inherit such knowledges. ‘Childbirth’ is the very sphere in which modernity and traditional value mingle and co-exist.
