‘If cryopolitics is defined as the harnessing of low temperature to make live and not let die, then a cryopolitical analysis must account for its role transforming reproduction—human and otherwise. The Cryopolitics of Reproduction on Ice represents a landmark contribution to this project. The authors draw on recent critical theory to examine how such transformations have unfolded in Scandinavia. In doing so, they reveal how legal notions of the family shape and are shaped by this new ice age.’
