In ‘The Caucasian Chalk Circle’ Brecht undertakes a redefinition of motherhood. The true mother is no longer she who has borne the child, but she who is most useful to it: “What there is shall go to those who are good for it, / Children to the motherly, that they prosper”. Brecht’s notes to the play, which speak of ‘motherly instincts’, show even more clearly the ‘natural’ alliance he believed existed between women and motherliness, which may, however, be thwarted...

Asking who wants motherhood could be a little bit of a real understatement, in my opinion. Instead, we must always go deeper into it. What needs motherhood and why?

Within the essay, ‘Motherhood: Who Desires It?’, written by Betty Rollin in 1970, I notice numerous unanswered questions and problems and my goal now's to seek out the answers to them. What's motherhood? Why precisely do, or don’t, we...

At the heart of W.E.B. DuBois’s concept of double consciousness lies Saussure’s structuralism. At one point in time, society decided that a person with light skin would be called a white person, therefore giving the color of someone’s skin a sign, white, thus the signifying aspect being the lightness of their skin. Therefore the “other” were those with darker skin, who in America throughout much of the the 19th, 20th, and indeed 21st century were the black people. Based upon...
