Description
Son selection in India is a material and spectral field clamped between the familial domain and the unresolved contradictions of neoliberal capitalism. State actions and inaction vis a vis son selection are producing a range of subject positions - such as the backward citizen, the blind traditional subject, the disempowered man - and are implicated in (trans)national demographic obsessions and dystopian imaginaries.
