Dissenting fiction re-righting law: practice-led research into biopolitics, women’s rights and reproductive justice in Ecuador
This practice-led research addresses questions of women’s rights and reproductive justice focussing on my own country, Ecuador.
Through a feature-length screenplay and accompanying dissertation, the thesis inquires Constitutional and Criminal Law and public policy in Ecuador with regards to women’s reproductive rights.
The research interrogates the (im)possibilities of motherhood and mothering, biopolitical power, life as potentiality, and a female body as “Bare Life”.
