<h2>&#8220;Figli della Dea Madre. Storia dei neonati nel Mediterraneo&#8221; a cura di Vassilios Fanos e Murat Yurdakök</h2>
<h3>ISBN 9788890438998, 224 pagine, € 24, prima edizione: maggio 2011</h3>
<p>Autori: Cristina Areias, Alessandra Atzei, Luigi Cataldi, Marinella Corridori, Giovanni Corsello, Matteo Della Monica, Gian Paolo Donzelli, Thamianos Fanos, Vassilios Fanos, Italo Farnetani, Nadia Maria Filippini, M. Giuseppina Gregorio, Hercília Guimarães, Roberto Mauri, Luigi Memo, Amélia Ricon-Ferraz, Marcella Testa, Teresa Tomé, Francesco Tregnaghi, Kyriakì Tsotra, Alice Vuoso-Mauri, Murat Yurdakök</p>
<p>Questo libro racconta la <strong>nascita</strong> attraverso la <strong>storia</strong>, il <strong>mito</strong>, le <strong>arti figurative</strong> e i<strong> rituali millenari</strong> tramandati sullo sfondo del <strong>Mediterraneo</strong>. Si delineano le radici profonde della nostra civiltà e le trasformazioni intervenute all’interno della <strong>famiglia</strong>, della società e del sapere medico. L’attenzione si focalizza sul ruolo della donna, sull’<strong>accoglienza del neonato</strong>, sulla percezione sociale dell’<strong>allattamento al seno</strong>, e su terreni meno esplorati quali la <strong>fertilità</strong> e l’<strong>adozione</strong>. Ne emerge una <strong>rappresentazione culturale della nascita</strong> divisa tra antiche <strong>usanze</strong> e una visione sempre più scientifica della <strong>gravidanza</strong> e del <strong>parto</strong>.<br />
Questo saggio contribuisce a un approfondimento delle <strong>illness narratives</strong>, favorendo la ricerca di una convergenza tra il linguaggio medico settoriale e il linguaggio dell’esperienza culturale, perché la <strong>evidence based medicine</strong> non si contrapponga alla <strong>narrative based medicine</strong>, ma i due linguaggi convergano verso una complementarità che possa rafforzare l’alleanza tra medico e paziente.</p>

<h3>Recensioni</h3>
<p></a></p>
<p>Questo libro tratta di <strong>storia</strong> e di <strong>tradizioni</strong> intorno al <strong>concepimento</strong>, alla <strong>nascita</strong> e alla <strong>cura dei neonati</strong> nella <strong>cultura europea</strong>, in particolare nell’area che gravita verso il <strong>Mediterraneo</strong>. La storia e le tradizioni fanno parte di un bagaglio culturale che accomuna medici e pazienti e si esplica in un <strong>linguaggio condiviso</strong>, che rende possibile la <strong>comunicazione</strong>. &#8211; Giuseppe Buonocore (President of the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies), ottobre 2010</p>
<p>L’<strong>evento nascita</strong> ha assunto, in tutte le epoche e in tutte le culture, le connotazioni del <strong>mito</strong>, il tocco del magico, il <strong>simbolismo</strong> del <strong>soprannaturale</strong>. Oggi, nel momento in cui affermiamo il diritto del nuovo nato a essere &#8220;<strong>persona</strong>&#8220;, ricordare il passato aiuta a trovare le soluzioni giuste alle tante domande, ancora disattese. &#8211; Paolo Giliberti (President of the Italian Neonatology Society), ottobre 2010</p>
<p>Nel libro viene con forza ribadito che la nascita è un <strong>evento politico e sociale</strong>, appartiene alla storia del singolo <strong>cittadino-neonato</strong>, alla donna e all’uomo da cui nasce, all’intera società. La lettura del libro è indicata per chi opera nelle scienze neonatologiche, pediatriche, perinatologiche, a qualsiasi livello, storico, sanitario, psicologico, sociologico, antropologico, e a tutti gli studenti universitari, nei percorsi di formazione in queste discipline. &#8211; Gianpaolo Donzelli (President of the Italian Perinatal Medicine Society), ottobre 2010</p>

<h2>&#8220;Children of the Mother Goddess. History of Mediterranean Neonates&#8221; edited by Vassilios Fanos and Murat Yurdakök</h2>
<h3>ISBN 9788890438950, 224 pages, € 24, 1st edition: October 2010</h3>
<p>Authors: Cristina Areias, Alessandra Atzei, Luigi Cataldi, Marinella Corridori, Giovanni Corsello, Matteo Della Monica, Gian Paolo Donzelli, Thamianos Fanos, Vassilios Fanos, Italo Farnetani, Nadia Maria Filippini, M. Giuseppina Gregorio, Hercília Guimarães, Roberto Mauri, Luigi Memo, Amélia Ricon-Ferraz, Marcella Testa, Teresa Tomé, Francesco Tregnaghi, Kyriakì Tsotra, Alice Vuoso-Mauri, Murat Yurdakök</p>
<p>The leading elements in this volume are the <strong>cultural representation of birth</strong> and the forms through which its narration and representation develop in the <strong>figurative arts</strong>, through <strong>historical references</strong>, <strong>mythological tales</strong> and <strong>legends</strong>, <strong>traditions</strong>, <strong>customs</strong> and <strong>habits</strong>. The influence of <strong>myth</strong>, <strong>language</strong> and <strong>artistic expression</strong> on our cultural representation of <strong>procreation</strong> is manifest, and this way of “narrating” birth resists even today, although it comes into conflict with a more scientific vision of <strong>pregnancy</strong> and <strong>childbirth</strong>.<br />
With this book we believe we have contributed to an in-depth examination of <strong>illness narratives</strong>, thus favouring the search for a convergence between medical language in the sector and the language of cultural experience so that <strong>evidence-based medicine</strong> does not clash with <strong>narrative-based medicine</strong>, but that the two languages come together towards a reciprocity that will strengthen the alliance between physician and patient.</p>

<h3>Book Reviews</h3>
<p></a><br />
The underlying theme of this book is the narration of <strong>childbirth</strong> and the forms in which it is expressed through the figurative arts, myth, legends and traditions that orient behaviours and legislative measures. <strong>History</strong> and <strong>traditions</strong> are a part of a <strong>cultural heritage</strong> that brings together physicians and patients and these are expressed in a <strong>shared language</strong> that makes <strong>communication</strong> possible. &#8211; Giuseppe Buonocore (President of the Union of European Neonatal and Perinatal Societies), October 2010</p>
<p>The <strong>event of birth</strong> has assumed in all epochs and cultures the connotations of <strong>myth</strong>, the touch of magic, the <strong>symbolism</strong> of the <strong>supernatural</strong>, and it is from these roots that have stemmed the rights of the newborn to be brought up and protected as the prime symbol of the <strong>mystery of life</strong>. Today, when we affirm newborns’ right to the title of “<strong>persons</strong>”, recalling the past helps us to find the right answers to the many unresolved questions. &#8211; Paolo Giliberti (President of the Italian Neonatology Society), October 2010</p>
<p>The book strongly emphasises how birth is a <strong>political and social event</strong> that belongs to the history of every single <strong>neonate-citizen</strong>, to the woman or man who procreated it, to the whole of society. This book should be read by all those operating in the neonatological, paediatric and perinatological sciences at any historic, health, psychological, sociological, and anthropological level, as well as all university students during their training in this discipline. &#8211; Gianpaolo Donzelli (President of the Italian Perinatal Medicine Society), October 2010</p>
