outerwoman. Ein Handwörterbuch

Inspired by a techno-feminist classic, Cordula Daus set out to pursue a thought experiment: What if women no longer had to bear children?

Together with three accomplices, she dismantles human reproduction into its constituent parts: fears and passions, ways of living, the desire to have children. Intimate biographic particles are extracted. New metaphors and relations explored. Seen from a certain distance, the parenthood status quo comes across as odd to say the least. Can we free pregnancy from the child? Midwives, biologists, doctors and parents provide their input.

This concise dictionary collects the findings of a speculation alphabetically. Everything we need right now and in the future: myths, instructions, leaflets. It’s here: the glossary for the time after the biological nuclear family.
