Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

989
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Visual Studies

Background:

  • Stillbirth memento photography is a practice embraced by bereaved families.
  • A lack of rigorous analysis exists regarding the visual attributes and content of these photographs.
  • Understanding these images is crucial for supporting grieving parents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the visual and semantic properties of stillbirth memento photographs.
  • To identify common themes and distinctive attributes within this genre of photography.
  • To bridge the gap in current understanding of stillbirth memento photography's role.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis of 51 professionally produced stillbirth memento photographs.
  • Characterization of imagery based on aesthetic and semantic properties.
  • Cross-referencing findings with existing scholarship, interview data, and image theories.

Main Results:

  • Identified four distinct image tropes: family interaction, macro baby photography, solitary baby portraits, and parent-baby cradling.
  • Discovered significant attributes: stylistic elements, acknowledgement, identity construction, ambiguity, and embodiment.
  • These elements contribute to the unique nature of stillbirth memento photography.

Conclusions:

  • Stillbirth memento photography employs specific visual strategies to validate parental identity and embody the lost child.
  • The analysis provides a framework for understanding the visual language used in these sensitive photographs.
  • Further research can explore the impact of these visual elements on parental grief and memory.
