Publicación Indirect Strategies for Disclosing the Genetic/Gestational Origins of Children Conceived by Means of Reproductive Donation (Spain(Univerisity of Toronto Press, 2021-04-16) Jociles, María Isabel; Lores, Fernando; Konvalinka, Nancy AnneThis article is based on ethnographic research carried out in Spain, with families who have conceived their children using third-party intervention. It focuses on an aspect of these parents’ strategies regarding disclosure (or non-disclosure) of their children’s origins which has received very little attention in the research in this field: the indirect strategies implemented in contexts beyond the parents-children dyad. The parents use these strategies to establish an environment in which the child can create an image of her- or himself as normal and non-exceptional, for which they intervene in their social networks mainly by controlling the information circulating through them and that, therefore, can reach the child. Three main contexts in which the parents implement these strategies have been identified: the extended family, the school, and family associations. The analysis of disclosure (or non-disclosure) strategies in these contexts provides some suggestions to improve professional intervention in this area.Publicación Presentación. La industria de la reproducción humana asistida: sobre ovodonación, diagnóstico genético preimplantacional y conciliación laboral(Ediciones Complutense, 2019) Jociles, María Isabel; Konvalinka, Nancy AnneLa industria de la reproducción humana asistida (RHA) ha experimentado un gran crecimiento en las últimas décadas a nivel internacional y, particularmente, en España. Pavone (2012) considera que es una de las dos únicas bioeconomías (la otra es la agrícola, basada en plantas y otros productos transgénicos) que han logrado tener éxito en el mercado. Se puede entender por bioeconomía “el conjunto de operaciones económicas de una sociedad que utiliza el valor latente en los productos y procesos biológicos para conseguir nuevo crecimiento y beneficios para ciudadanos y naciones” (OCDE, 2006, citado en Pavone 2012: 148), definición a la que faltaría añadir que, entre sus mayores beneficiarios, están las industrias creadas en torno a estos sectores. España es líder europeo en la industria de la RHA: el país donde hay un mayor número de centros que la practican (Comisión Europea, 2015), en el que más tratamientos de este tipo tienen lugar (ESHE, 2017) y foco del “turismo reproductivo”. Estos tratamientos se realizan principalmente en centros privados, de los que hay 342 en 2018 frente a los 153 públicos. Los primeros absorben casi el 80% del mercado reproductivo, que solo en 2016 tuvo un volumen de negocio de unos 530 millones de euros (Rivas, Lores y Jociles, en este número).Publicación Presentación. Tensión y relación: contextos y comprensiones del parentesco en las familias creadas mediante la reproducción humana asistida(Ediciones Complutense, 2019-10-23) Jociles, María Isabel; Konvalinka, Nancy AnneMás que su simple aparición, ha sido la extensión del uso de las Técnicas de Reproducción Humana Asistida (TRHA) y de la gestación por sustitución lo que ha impulsado que distintas áreas de estudio, entre ellas, la antropología, la sociología, la psicología y los estudios de ciencia y tecnología, hayan encontrado un campo enormemente fértil. El hecho de que muchas personas empiecen a utilizar estas medidas para formar sus familias nos obliga a todos y a todas —usuarios, familiares y amigos, personal médico, políticos, creadores de leyes y de jurisprudencia, la sociedad en general— a pensar sobre qué es el parentesco y qué implicaciones pueden tener estas maneras de hacer familia.Publicación La gestación subrogada bajo prismas diferentes. Cuatro corrientes de análisis para un mismo tema.(Universidad de Jaen, 2018-09-03) Fernández García, Sandra; Hernández Corrochano, Elena; Konvalinka, Nancy Anne; Sánchez Molina, Eusebio RaúlEste artículo propone diferentes perspectivas de análisis sobre la gestación subrogada o gestación por sustitución, como se denomina en la legislación actual española. Partiendo de un trabajo previo de exploración del campo, los autores se alejan del discurso dicotómico impuesto por diferentes agentes sociales sobre su regulación, para adentrarse en la complejidad epistemológica que este tema presenta en diferentes ámbitos disciplinarios. Dos de las perspectivas aportadas utilizan la gestación subrogación como una ventana a las cuestiones más amplias de los movimientos transnacionales de personas y los significados de los parentescos genéticos, biológicos y sociales; mientras que las otras dos tratan cuestiones más específicas relacionadas con la maternidad y la procreación.Publicación Eggonomics: Vitrification and bioeconomies of egg donation in the United States and Spain(WILEY, 2023-09-01) Tober, Diane; Pavone, Vincenzo; Lafuente Funes, Sara; Konvalinka, Nancy AnneRegulations governing assisted reproduction control the degree to which gamete donation is legal and how people providing genetic material are selected and compensated. The United States and Spain are both global leaders in fertility treatment with donor oocytes. Yet both countries take different approaches to how egg donation is regulated. The US model reveals a hierarchically organized form of gendered eugenics. In Spain, the eugenic aspects of donor selection are more subtle. Drawing upon fieldwork in the United States and Spain, this article examines (1) how compensated egg donation operates under two regulatory settings, (2) the implications for egg donors as providers of bioproducts, and (3) how advances in oocyte vitrification enhances the commodity quality of human eggs. By comparing these two reproductive bioeconomies we gain insight into how different cultural, medical, and ethical frameworks intersect with egg donor embodied experiences.Publicación Deciding where to belong : gender differences in educational trajectories and migration in a rural spanish town(Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2007-01-01) Konvalinka, Nancy AnneFrom an anthropological perspective, formal post-secondary schooling is not an abstractentity with an intrinsic value that everyone finds desirable, but rather one alternative among many that young people evaluate from their different positions in the social field. The problem discussed in this paper is the diverging life trajectories that young men and women in a concrete rural context, at the end of the 20th century, shape for themselves at the ages of 14-16, a moment of decision created by national legislation regarding mandatory education (LGE, 1970, General Education Law, and LOGSE, 1990, General Organic Law of the Education System). Despite a strong cultural norm of equal inheritance divided among all children, male and female, and despite the equal educational opportunities provided by the Spanish State, different meanings of possession and use-rights over land and the resulting culturally accepted gendered division of work converge to orient men and women differently towards post-secondary schooling. Observation of the age, gender, and civil status structure of the population led to the preliminary query: Why do men and women, in this town, behave differently with respect to migration and marriage? The main hypothesis was that women’s longer school trajectories and resulting migration and men’s anchoring in the town and their higher rates of celibacy were not drastic changes in values, in the positional-relational sense of Bourdieu (1988, 2002), but the current outcome of previously existing dissimilar relations to property that produce dissimilar mobility. Through their schooling and work choices, young men and women, at very early ages, locate themselves in, or decide to belong to, different contexts that later reveal very different possibilities of finding marriage partners. This paper is based on an ethnographic study of a small rural town (302 inhabitants in 1950; 193 in 2000) near Leon. Although this paper deals with the situation in the final decades of the 20th century, we must also consider the first half of the century, where some elements that shape this situation have their roots. Fieldwork was carried out between 1988 and 2001, in periods of differing length and intensity. The social subjects discussed here are the domestic unit and its component members. They were studied in conjunction, analyzing the life-trajectory decisions of specific persons in the framework of the domestic unit and the relations among people and property which comprise it. The tried-and-true methods of ethnographic research –participant observation, interviews, and life-histories, etc.- were employed. Archival research was also important for producing demographic data. Demographic analysis, the analysis of the composition and transformation of domestic units, and the creation of life trajectories were among the principal techniques used. The theoretical analysis was oriented by Bourdieu’s (2002) framework of the social field, habitus, and difference.Publicación Having Children in Cross-border Contexts: Late-Family Formation among Homoparental Families in Spain.(ABRASCO, 2024-04-19) Sánchez Molina, Eusebio Raúl; Konvalinka, Nancy AnneConsidered until recently unfit to rear children, non-heterosexual people have been excluded from forming families in most countries. Many, worldwide, demand access to family formation, claiming the same aptitudes as heterosexual people for raising children. However, when non-heterosexual singles and couples want to become parents in Spain, they must consider transnational contexts, resorting to inter-country adoption or surrogacy abroad, processes that contribute to delay their family formation. They must consider not only Spanish sociocultural conditions, but other countries’ legal restrictions regarding parents’ gender, social status, and sexual identity. These families experience great difficulty in gaining access to reproductive health services. Based on multi-site ethnographic fieldwork, this text addresses how, despite legislative changes allowing homoparental family formation in Spain, these parents must overcome complex bureaucratic processes when they decide to have children, while facing homophobic attitudes and policies in their quests to become parents.
